Ai Plus is expanding its smartphone lineup in India with the new Ai Plus Nova 2 Neo 5G alongside the Ai Plus Nova 2 Pro 5G. The new Nova 2 Neo 5G targets entry-level consumers seeking a decent smartphone for everyday social media scrolling and reliable battery life. In this article, I will discuss the new Ai Plus Nova 2 Neo 5G, including its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Key Highlights

The Ai+ Nova 2 Neo 5G features a large 6.74-inch HD+ display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate for a better scrolling experience.
It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, delivering stable performance for everyday apps and light multitasking.

The device runs on Android 16 with nxtQ OS, offering a cleaner and more controlled user experience.

Ai Plus Nova 2 Neo 5G Overview

Camera and Battery

Starting off, the new Ai Plus Nova 2 Neo 5G keeps things simple by opting for a single 48MP f/1.8 Sony IMX582 sensor on the back panel. While the front of the phone has a basic 8MP f/2.0 sensor for selfies and video calls, you can record 1080p 30fps videos from both modules. For a budget phone, these numbers look decent for capturing basic life events in proper daylight. However, you should not expect much with them during low-light shots.

In terms of battery, this phone packs the large 6,000mAh battery that Ai Plus claims to last more than a day on casual use. Here, you will also get the 18W fast charging support to quickly top up your phone. If you are looking for an entry-level phone for your parent for their day-to-day use where social media scrolling is top priority, this might come across as a good option.

Design and Display

Talking about the design, Ai Plus Nova 2 Neo 5G comes with a sleek and subtle design, giving a clean look at first glance. Here, you can choose between the “Black”, “Pink”, “Orange”, “Green”, and “Blue” finishes. Besides that, it also has an IP65 rating against dust and water so that you dont have to worry much about accidental splashes of water or exposing your phone in light rain.

Talking about the back panel design, it has the pill-shaped vertically placed camera island that houses two lenses and an Aurora ring light, while the Strip of LED flash is placed separately on the side. Along with this, you also get a dedicated AI button in this phone for quick access.

Up front, the Ai Plus Nova 2 Neo 5G features a 6.74-inch LCD panel with an HD+ resolution, so you get decent visuals. However, there are other phones, such as the ZTE Nubia V80 Design, Tecno Spark 30, and Infinix Hot 60 Pro, that offer more. Additionally, scrolling on this phone might not be an issue, as it has a 120Hz smooth refresh rate. Alongside this, it has a 600-nit HBM mode to ensure decent outdoor visibility.

Performance and Software

Under the hood, it has the entry-level MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip built on a 6nm processor. This is the same chip we saw in phones like the Vivo Y21 5G and Realme 14T 5G, which fall into a higher price bracket than the Ai Plus Nova 2 Neo 5G. So, you can expect decent everyday performance from this phone, though gaming might not be that great.

Memory-wise, this phone offers up to 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage, with microSD card support up to 2 TB if you run out of space. For software, Ai Plus Nova 2 Neo 5G runs on the nxtQ OS on top of Android 16—focusing on a cleaner, more controlled software experience.
