The Huawei nova 11 Ultra 256GB is Huawei Test's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.78 inches, 111.4 cm2 (~91.1% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM7325 Snapdragon 778G 4G (6 nm) chipset. It comes with a 4500 mAh battery. Available in the UAE from AED 1,399.
The Huawei nova 11 Ultra excels with its 100W wired charging, replenishing 20–80% in 10 minutes, and its 60MP ultrawide lens with 100° field of view for expansive landscapes. The 4500mAh battery sustains full-day use even with 1200x2652 pixel display brightness. It targets professionals who shoot high-resolution wide-angle content on the go and need rapid top-ups during commutes. However, it’s limited by the Snapdragon 778G 4G chipset, which lacks 5G support and struggles under prolonged gaming loads, causing throttling after 15 minutes. In UAE at AED 1399, it’s competitive because no other 100W charger phone under AED 1500 offers this camera combo. In India, where pricing is unavailable, it’s not recommended unless sold below ₹35,000 — the 4G-only constraint and HarmonyOS app gaps make it a poor fit for users reliant on Google services or high-end gaming.
