Huawei’s latest flagship series, the Mate 80, has barely hit the market when rumors about its successor models are already surfacing. According to Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station, Huawei is working on a new lineup for early 2026: the Nova 15 series, which includes three models—the standard Nova 15, the Pro version, and the high-end Ultra variant.
The base model of the Huawei Nova 15 is expected to feature a 6.7-inch screen with an OLED display that supports LTPO technology for enhanced power efficiency. The upgraded Nova 15 Pro will come with a slightly larger 6.84-inch panel and may include dual front-facing cameras: a primary 50MP sensor paired with an additional 8MP unit, compared to the base model’s single 50MP camera setup. In terms of rear camera configurations, both models are set to carry similar setups featuring a main 50MP lens, another 50MP periscope telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide-angle camera.
The Huawei Nova 15 Ultra variant is likely to top the lineup with more advanced hardware. It is predicted to utilize a Kirin 9-series chip and house a larger main sensor measuring approximately 1/1.3-inch in size. While details on specific camera features are limited, it’s reasonable to assume that it will also include a multispectral sensor for improved color accuracy and low-light performance.
Another commonality among all three models is their generous battery capacities, each expected to exceed 6,000mAh. As per the rumored release timeline, these devices are anticipated to launch ahead of China’s Spring Festival in February 2026.
