The Huawei nova 12 Ultra 256GB is Huawei Test's 2024 smartphone featuring a 6.76 inches, 108.8 cm2 (~89.0% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Kirin 9000S (7 nm)* the chipset is not officially confirmed chipset. It comes with a 4600 mAh battery. Available in the UAE from AED 1,499.
The Huawei nova 12 Ultra 12 Ultra excels with its 50MP f/1.4-4.0 main camera offering exceptional low-light detail, 100W wired charging that replenishes 3-60% in 10 minutes, and a 4600mAh battery sustaining all-day use. Its 1224 x 2776 pixel OLED display delivers sharp 449 ppi clarity, ideal for media consumption. This phone targets professionals who shoot high-res photos daily and need rapid charging during commutes, especially those avoiding iOS/Android ecosystems. Its weakness is Kirin 9000S performance under sustained load—thermal throttling may occur during extended 5G gaming or video editing. In UAE at AED 1499, it’s competitive because no other 5G phone under AED 1600 offers 100W charging and a 50MP f/1.4 camera. In India, where pricing is unavailable, it’s not recommended due to absent Google services and limited app support, making daily use impractical for most users.
