HUAWEI brought the nova 15 Max to the Philippine market on June 12, 2026, with a PHP 19,888 launch price and a battery that sets a new record for the brand. The 8,500mAh cell is the largest HUAWEI has ever shipped in a smartphone, and the company is leaning heavily on it as the device's defining feature.
Key Specs
Behind the battery headline, the nova 15 Max is a mid-ranger built with some above-average durability specs. The display is a 6.84-inch Vivid OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 4,000 nits peak brightness. Processing is handled by the Kirin 8000 (7nm), and the device ships with symmetrical dual speakers rated at 85dB.
IP65 water and dust resistance is included — still relatively rare at this price point in the Philippine market. The rear camera is a 50MP RYYB sensor with an f/1.9 aperture, paired with an 8MP front camera. The phone measures 7.98mm thick and weighs 232g, which is respectable given what's packed inside. It comes in Lake Cyan, Blush Gold, and Golden Black.
