The difference between the two smartphones comes down to support for two-way satellite messaging via Beidou's Ultra satellite network. In addition, the characteristics of the devices are identical.

The screen is a 6.78-inch 10-bit AMOLED with a 120Hz refresh rate and 300Hz sensor sampling. The resolution is 2652 × 1200 pixels. The panel curved on the sides is protected by Kunlun Glass – but in some models you will have to pay extra for it, which is used in cheaper options, is not reported. There is a pill-shaped hole in the top left corner for the dual selfie camera.

The front camera uses a 60MP main module with a 100° field of view and an 8MP secondary module with 2x optical zoom for portrait mode. There are three cameras on the back. The main one is 50 MP with f/1.4 or f/4.0 variable aperture and laser autofocus. There is also an 8MP ultra-wide-angle module and a "ten-channel color temperature sensor".

Huawei nova 11 Pro and Ultra batteries have a capacity of 4,500 mAh and support 100 W fast charging, a suitable adapter is included. Out of the box, smartphones run on HarmonyOS 3.0.

The Pro version is available in four colors: black and green with vegan leather backs, and white and gold with glass backs. The Ultra model is available in leather only.
