Buying advice for Algeria

Both Huawei nova 15 Pro and Huawei nova 16 Ultra are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Huawei nova 16 Ultra packs a 7000 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

Huawei nova 16 Ultra reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 200 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.
