Ai+ has now launched Nova 2 Neo 5G and Nova 2 Pro 5G in India,and honestly,this pricing is where things become interesting for budget phone buyers . Because rn,under ₹17,000 segment is already crowded like anything .
Nova 2 Neo 5G is clearly aimed at people who want decent features without spending too much . It comes with 48-megapixel camera and big 6000mAh battery,which is not small thing ah at this price point.
And then Nova 2 Pro 5G is trying to look like more performance-focused option . It gets MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset and 144Hz FHD+ display,so Ai+ is basically trying to attract users who care about smoother screen and faster daily usage .
Price side,Nova 2 Neo starts at ₹12,999 for 4GB+128GB model and ₹13,999 for 6GB+128GB variant . Nova 2 Pro is priced at ₹14,999 for 6GB+128GB and ₹16,999 for 8GB+128GB configuration . Both phones will be sold through Flipkart and select retail locations across country .
Few things standing out clearly in this launch:
- Nova 2 Neo will come in five vibrant colors including magenta and light blue,while Pro variant will offer maroon and mint .
- Both models get 6000mAh battery,so battery life is clearly being pushed as main selling point .
- Customers can get ₹1,000 discount on card purchases during initial sales period .
Talking specs,Nova 2 Neo has 6.745-inch HD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate and runs on MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset . It also supports expandable storage up to 2TB,dual SIM 5G connectivity and side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
But Nova 2 Pro feels like more flashy one here . It brings 6.9-inch FHD+ display with 144Hz refresh rate,48-megapixel main camera,dual stereo speaker system and sleek design . On paper at least,it sounds like Ai+ wants this phone to feel slightly premium without crossing budget line too much.
Both phones run on Android 16 with NxtQuantum OS,which is another thing buyers will definitely watch closely . Specs and pricing look attractive,but software experience can make or break phone only.
And honestly,this launch feels like Ai+ is trying hard to enter crowded Indian budget 5G space with aggressive battery,display and pricing combo . But real question is simple… will buyers trust new Nova series over names they already know?
