Huawei is gearing up for the launch of its new Nova 14 Ultra smartphone, scheduled for May 19th. Ahead of the official announcement, significant details regarding the Huawei Nova 14 Ultra’s aesthetic and available colour options have surfaced online. It’s worth noting that the Huawei Nova 13 lineup did not include an Ultra model, unlike the Nova 12 series. However, Huawei is set to bring back the Ultra variant with the upcoming Nova 14 series, which is expected to include the Nova 14 and Nova 14 Pro as well.

Huawei Nova 14 Ultra colour options
The Nova 14 Ultra will be offered in a selection of four distinct colours: Floating Gold, Floating White, Glowing Purple, and Obsidian Black.
Huawei Nova 14 Ultra design and signature Star Ring
Keeping with a design element that has become synonymous with the Nova line, the Nova 14 Ultra features the brand’s signature Star Ring design for its rear camera module. This iteration, however, introduces subtle yet significant refinements. The junction where the circular camera ring meets the rear panel has been softened with smoother curves.
Huawei Nova 14 Ultra quad-camera system
The prominent circular module houses a quad-camera setup. It includes a primary high-resolution sensor, a telephoto lens capable of optical or hybrid zoom for capturing distant subjects, and an ultra-wide camera for landscapes and group shots.
A particularly interesting addition is the Red Maple colour sensor. Described as a multi-spectral image sensor, this technology is designed to capture more detailed and accurate lighting information. The goal of this specialised sensor is to enhance colour reproduction, ensuring that the photos taken with the Nova 14 Ultra display colours more faithfully to how they appear in reality.
Huawei Nova 14 Ultra display, performance, and operating system
The Nova 14 Ultra is expected to boast a large 6.8-inch full-view display, which should offer an expansive and immersive visual experience for watching videos, browse, and gaming. Under the hood, it is rumoured by Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station that the phone will be powered by a Kirin 9 series chipset.
Furthermore, a notable highlight is that the Nova 14 Ultra is anticipated to be the first device to come with HarmonyOS 5 pre-installed out of the box, showcasing the latest iteration of Huawei’s proprietary operating system.
Huawei market positioning
In the highly competitive smartphone market in China, the Huawei Nova 14 series is positioned to be a direct competitor to popular mid-range to upper mid-range lineups from other manufacturers. These include the Oppo Reno 14 series, the Vivo S30 series, and the Honor 400 lineup, indicating that the Nova 14 Ultra will be vying for market share in a significant segment.
