Ai+ has expanded the Nova 2 lineup in India with a launch that covers more than just an affordable smartphone segment. The company introduced the Nova 2, Nova 2 Ultra, Nova Flip, and Pulse Tab at the same time, creating a compact ecosystem that ranges from entry-level phones to a foldable device and an Android 16 tablet.
The move stands out because each product targets a different budget tier, yet all of them keep the same core message: large batteries, high refresh rate displays, and practical features for everyday use. For buyers following India’s fast-moving value device market, this launch is notable because it combines the cheapest foldable phone claim with two Android 16 smartphones and a low-cost tablet in one family.
Ai+ Nova 2 and Nova 2 Ultra focus on affordable 5G
The core of the lineup is built around the Ai+ Nova 2 and Nova 2 Ultra. Both phones offer 5G support and 6,000 mAh batteries, but the hardware split is clear enough to separate very basic users from those who want more speed and a better screen.
Nova 2 uses a 6.74-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a Unisoc T8200 chipset, 4GB or 6GB RAM, and 64GB or 128GB expandable storage. It carries a 50MP rear camera, an 8MP front camera, 18W charging, and Android 16, with a price of 8,999 rupees, around $108.
Nova 2 Ultra steps up to a 6.78-inch 120Hz 1.5K AMOLED panel, a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 processor, 8GB or 12GB RAM, and 128GB or 256GB expandable storage. Its camera setup adds an 8MP ultrawide lens alongside the 50MP main sensor, while the front camera rises to 13MP, and charging reaches 33W.
Key differences between the two models
- Nova 2 targets budget buyers who want basic 5G and a large battery.
- Nova 2 Ultra adds a sharper AMOLED panel and stronger performance.
- Nova 2 Ultra includes an ultrawide camera for more flexible shooting.
- Both run Android 16, which gives the lineup a fresh software base.
The Ultra model appears designed for users who stream video, switch between apps more often, or want better image quality without moving into flagship pricing. The standard Nova 2 stays closer to the low-cost segment where battery life and simple daily performance matter most.
Nova Flip brings foldable hardware at a lower entry point
Ai+ also used the launch to enter the foldable category with the Nova Flip. The device is positioned as one of the most affordable flip phones introduced in India so far, according to the reference article.
Nova Flip uses a 6.9-inch foldable OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an outer screen for quick actions such as notifications and calls. Inside, it carries a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chip, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, and a 4,325 mAh battery with 33W fast charging.
The camera setup includes a 50MP main camera, a 2MP secondary camera, and a 32MP selfie camera. The phone also supports 5G, NFC, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and weighs about 193 grams, which keeps it relatively manageable for a foldable.
At 30,000 rupees, or about $360, the Nova Flip does not sit in premium territory, but it still aims to make foldable design more accessible to mainstream buyers.
Pulse Tab extends the lineup into Android 16 tablets
Ai+ completed the set with the Pulse Tab, its first tablet. The device uses a 10.95-inch Full HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a claimed 400 nits of brightness, which suggests a focus on indoor entertainment, study, and light productivity.
The tablet runs on a MediaTek Helio G88 chipset, supported by 6GB RAM and 128GB expandable storage. It also includes a 13MP rear camera, an 8MP front camera, an 8,000 mAh battery, quad speakers, Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, and a TF card slot, while Android 16 serves as the operating system.
Priced at 10,000 rupees, or around $120, Pulse Tab is aimed at users who want a large-screen device for online classes, video streaming, and everyday multitasking without paying much more.
What this launch means for buyers
The Ai+ Nova 2 series reflects a clear strategy to cover multiple price segments with one rollout. Instead of offering only one budget phone, the brand now has an affordable 5G model, a more capable Ultra version, a foldable option, and a tablet for media and work-like tasks.
That spread may help Ai+ attract first-time smartphone buyers, cost-conscious users upgrading to 5G, and shoppers who want a foldable or tablet without entering premium price bands. For the Indian market, where battery life, display quality, and value remain strong buying factors, the Nova 2 family arrives with a broader pitch than a typical entry-level launch.
