Ai+ Nova 2 Pro 5G Launched with Dimensity 7100, 144Hz Display, 48MP Sony Camera, Customizable Back Panel & 6000mAh Battery

Ai+ just added two new phones to its Nova lineup in India, the Nova 2 Pro 5G and a cheaper Nova 2 Neo 5G. The Pro version is the more interesting of the two, thanks to a customizable back panel, a 144Hz screen, and a 48MP Sony camera. With talk already going around about an Ai+ Nova 2 Pro 5G Nepal launch, here’s a breakdown of what the phone actually offers.

Display and Design

A 6.9-inch FHD+ LCD panel covers most of the front, and it pushes a 144Hz refresh rate along with peak brightness of 800 nits in HBM mode, which should make outdoor visibility noticeably better even under harsh sunlight.

On the back, four LED light strips can be customized separately for calls and notifications, letting users set their own pattern instead of relying on a single blinking light. The design also carries an IP65 rating, offering protection against dust exposure and minor water splashes during daily use. Buyers can choose between five colour options, Green, Red, Pink, Black, and Blue, depending on personal preference.

Performance

Inside, there’s a MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chip, a 6nm processor that’s meant more for reliable daily use than demanding games or heavy editing work. Ai+ has fitted it with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, with room to expand storage by another 2TB through a microSD slot if photos and apps start piling up.

The phone boots nxtQ OS on Android 16, and general use like scrolling, switching between apps, or watching videos should hold up decently well without much stutter. It’s not a chip built for chart-topping benchmark scores, but for the price bracket it’s sitting in, that’s not really the point either.

Camera

Photography duties fall to a dual setup at the back, a 48MP Sony sensor working alongside an 8MP ultrawide lens, plus a 13MP front camera for video calls and selfies. Video recording tops out at 2K30fps on either side, a solid spec for the segment when it comes to casual content creation or quick clips for social media.

Photos taken in daylight should look fine, with decent colours and reasonable detail, but as with most phones in this segment, low-light results probably won’t be as impressive once the sun goes down. Indoor shots under artificial lighting may also show a bit more noise than outdoor ones, though that’s fairly typical at this price.

Battery and Connectivity

A 6000mAh cell powers the device, which should be enough to get most people through a full day without needing a midday charge, even with moderate scrolling, calls, and video playback mixed in. The 33W charging won’t fill the battery in minutes, but it does the job when you need a quick boost before stepping out.

On networks and wireless, the phone supports 5G, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, and three satellite systems, GPS, GLONASS, and Beidou, for navigation. There’s also a fingerprint reader tucked into the side button, which doubles as the power key.

Ai+ Nova 2 Pro 5G Specifications

Ai+ Nova 2 Pro 5G Price and Availability in Nepal

Over in India, Ai+ has set the base 6GB/128GB model at INR 15,999, and if you want the bigger 8GB/128GB version, that’ll cost INR 17,999. Going by that, an Ai+ Nova 2 Pro 5G Nepal price tag would likely fall around NPR 34,999 for the entry option and roughly NPR 39,999 for the bigger storage version, though import duties and local taxes could change that once it’s officially priced here.

Conclusion

Looking at everything on offer, the customizable lighting, a fast-refresh display, a Sony camera setup, and a large battery, the Nova 2 Pro 5G seems like a fairly well-rounded phone for its category. There’s no confirmation yet on when the Ai+ Nova 2 Pro 5G Nepal release will actually happen, but it’s a phone worth keeping an eye on for anyone shopping in the budget 5G space.
