Portrait camera and AI tools

The nova 14 Pro aims at portrait fans, with colour accuracy and fast capture as headline claims.

  • Ultra Chroma Camera captures multispectral light; Huawei claims up to 120% better colour accuracy than RGB sensors
  • 50MP Ultra Portrait Autofocus Camera for faster focus in any light
  • Zoom range from 0.8x to 5x
  • Ultra Speed Snapshot works on both front and rear cameras
  • AI Remove and AI Best Expression clean up shots and pick flattering frames 

Huawei is going hard on colour science and speed. Ultra Chroma is pitched to handle subtle tones, like makeup shades and sunsets, more naturally. The 0.8x to 5x range gives you room to frame tighter portraits or group shots without moving your feet.

Ultra Speed Snapshot on both sides is the practical bit: you can freeze motion, whether you’re behind the phone or using the selfie camera. Cleanup tools like AI Remove and Best Expression are built in for quick edits.

For more context on Huawei’s recent launch cycle, here’s our quick news hit from the Paris event that also referenced nova 14: Huawei’s GT 6 and nova 14 event notes.

Battery and charging

Big battery, fast top-ups, and thermal control are the pitch.

  • 5,500mAh battery
  • 100W HUAWEI SuperCharge Turbo
  • AI Charging Temperature Control
  • Night charging and overshoot protection for safety and longevity 

The 5,500mAh cell is paired with 100W charging, and Huawei says the phone regulates temperatures for safer, longer-term battery health. Night charging and overshoot protection keep top-ups predictable while you sleep. This is very much a “charge fast, run cool” story for busy days.

EMUI features and privacy

The updated EMUI adds a physical shortcut and touch-free controls. Privacy tools get a boost, too.

  • New Smart Controls Button with custom double-tap actions
  • AI Gesture Control, including Air Scroll and Grabshot
  • AI Messaging hides sensitive notifications
  • Upgraded Privacy Centre and Security Centre for risk checks and tips 

The Smart Controls Button is a quick way to launch apps or features without diving through menus. Air Scroll and Grabshot let you move and capture without touching the screen, which is handy when your hands are wet or messy. On privacy, the phone can auto-hide sensitive alerts, and you get centralised dashboards that flag risky permissions and offer guidance.

Design and displays

Huawei splits the line between curved and flat screens.

  • nova 14 Pro: 6.78-inch quad-curved display
  • nova 14: 6.7-inch OLED flat-edge screen
  • Both aim for slim profiles and clean finishes 

If you prefer soft edges in the hand, the Pro’s quad-curved display is your route. If you like a flatter look and feel, the standard nova 14 goes minimal with a thin, flat-edge body. Either way, the styling keeps things subtle rather than flashy.
