The HUAWEI nova 14 Series is set to make its debut in the Philippines on November 27, 2025, with an aim of bringing a new wave of AI-powered selfie and portrait capabilities for users who prioritize front-camera performance and creative expression.
Positioned as the latest entry in the long-running nova line, the series combines updated design, upgraded imaging systems, and faster charging for Filipino smartphone owners.
Evolution of the nova selfie experience
The nova family has progressively focused on front-camera innovation, from introducing dual front cameras on the nova 2s to night selfie capabilities on the nova 5 and 3D stereo vision on the nova 9. More recent generations have added higher-resolution selfie cameras and AI tools, culminating in the nova 14 Series, which merges front-facing imaging hardware with AI-driven enhancements for selfies and portraits.
Front-camera and AI imaging features
The HUAWEI nova 14 Pro features a 50 MP Front AI Portrait Dual Camera system that combines a 50 MP Ultra Portrait Autofocus Camera with an 8 MP Close-Up Portrait Camera. This setup is paired with what the company describes as an industry-first Ultra Speed Snapshot on both front and rear cameras and a 0.8x to 5x selfie zoom range designed for anything from solo selfies to group shots.
The nova 14 Series also integrates several AI-assisted tools focused on selfies and portraits, including AI Best Expression, which selects flattering frames in burst shots, and AI Beauty Effect, which applies subtle facial enhancements.
AI Remove can automatically eliminate unwanted objects or background distractions from images with a tap to help users prepare photos for social sharing more quickly.
Rear camera and color accuracy
The HUAWEI nova 14 Pro boasts an Ultra Chroma Camera on the rear that uses 1,500,000 spectral channels to improve color reproduction. This can deliver up to a 120% improvement in color accuracy compared with the previous nova 13 Pro, with the goal of more lifelike photos.
Design and display options
HUAWEI is introducing a new Ice Crystal Texture finish on the nova 14 Series, for a shimmering, dynamic appearance that is targeted at younger, style-conscious users. The lineup will be available in Crystal Blue, White, and Black, extending the brand’s existing emphasis on eye-catching colorways.
On the front, the HUAWEI nova 14 Pro uses a 6.78-inch Flawless Quad-Curved Display, while the standard nova 14 features a 6.7-inch OLED Flat-Edge Screen.
Software, AI features, and daily experience
The nova 14 Pro runs on EMUI 15, while the nova 14 uses EMUI 14.2, with both versions using system-level tools such as AI Best Expression, Smart Controls Button, AI Themes, Privacy Centre, and Security Centre. The nova 14 Pro also gains additional EMUI 15-exclusive capabilities like AI Remove, Emoji Crush, Air Hoops, AI Gesture Control, AI Messaging, and AI Noise Cancellation.
Battery, charging, and endurance
Both the HUAWEI nova 14 and nova 14 Pro are powered by a 5,500mAh battery that also supports 100W HUAWEI SuperCharge Turbo when used with the compatible charger and cable, with the company stating that a full charge from 0% to 100% can be achieved in about 38 minutes under optimal conditions.
