Huawei has officially confirmed the upcoming Huawei Nova 15 series, and early reports suggest that the phones will remain affordable mid-range models, just like previous Nova devices. In Malaysia, the expected starting price is around RM1500, which is close to the Nova 14 series launch price of RM1299.
At the moment, Huawei has not shared final local pricing details. However, the company has confirmed that the Nova 15 series will launch first in China on 22 December 2025. After that, information about global markets, including Malaysia, is expected to follow.
This year, Huawei is not only upgrading the internals but also giving the Nova lineup a fresh new look.
New Design Makes the Nova 15 Series Look More Premium
Official teaser images show that Huawei has redesigned the rear camera module, especially on the Nova 15 Ultra. Instead of a single camera island, the phone features two separate circular camera sections placed inside a rectangular frame.
This design change helps the Nova 15 series stand out from older Nova models and gives it a more premium and modern appearance, even though it stays in the mid-range category.
What Models Are Coming in the Huawei Nova 15 Series?
Based on current leaks, Huawei is expected to launch three models:
- Huawei Nova 15
- Huawei Nova 15 Pro
- Huawei Nova 15 Ultra
Each model is designed for a different type of user, but all of them focus on good display quality, strong cameras, and long battery life.
Display: Smooth, Bright, and Power Efficient
All three Nova 15 models are expected to feature 1.5K LTPO OLED displays, which means:
Smooth scrolling with adaptive refresh rates
Better battery efficiency compared to normal OLED screens
Clear visuals with good colour accuracy
Screen sizes are expected to start at around 6.7 inches and go slightly bigger on the Pro and Ultra models.

Cameras are expected to be one of the biggest upgrades in the Nova 15 series.
Front Camera
- Nova 15: Single 50MP selfie camera
- Nova 15 Pro & Ultra: Dual front cameras with 50MP + 8MP, useful for better portrait selfies and video calls
Rear Camera
Across the lineup, Huawei is expected to offer:
- 50MP main camera (likely with RYYB sensor for better low-light photos)
- Periscope telephoto lens for optical zoom
- Ultra-wide camera for group shots and landscapes
Higher-end models may also include a multispectral sensor, which helps improve colours, skin tones, and low-light photography.

This means users can expect all-day battery life with fewer charging worries.

Easy connection with Huawei laptops, tablets, and wearables
