AI+ Nova 2 Power 5G: 7,000mAh Battery, ₹16,999 Price

Core News and Key Facts

For buyers who are tired of carrying a charger or power bank, the latest AI+ smartphone is making battery endurance the centre of its pitch. The AI+ Nova 2 Power 5G has launched in India with a starting price of ₹16,999, bringing a 7,000mAh battery to a segment where buyers usually have to compromise between battery size, performance and display features.

The phone comes in two configurations: 6GB RAM with 128GB storage at ₹16,999 and 8GB RAM with 128GB storage at ₹17,999. It will be sold through Flipkart from September 24. Colour options include Golden Blue Fusion, Blue Fusion, Ocean Green, Deep Purple and Midnight Black.

Its specification sheet is built around endurance and everyday performance. The handset uses a MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset and offers a 6.75-inch HD+ IPS LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. The listing and launch report differ slightly on the display size, with the headline specification citing 6.78 inches while the detailed specification lists 6.75 inches.

Context and Official Statements

The battery is clearly the headline feature: AI+ has paired the 7,000mAh cell with 33W wired charging. The phone also supports 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.4, USB Type-C and a 3.5mm headphone jack. It weighs 222 grams and carries an IP65 rating for dust and splash resistance.

For photography, there is a 48-megapixel Sony IMX582 primary camera with an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera on the rear. A 13-megapixel front camera handles selfies and video calls. Storage can reportedly be expanded by up to 1TB through a microSD card, giving the phone an advantage for users who store large numbers of videos, photos or offline content.

The phone runs Android 16 with AI+’s nxtQ OS. Its pricing puts it close to battery-focused rivals such as the Realme C83 5G, which starts at ₹17,499 and also carries a 7,000mAh battery, although that model uses the less powerful Dimensity 6300 and a 15W charging system.

Krihaa Analysis

The interesting part of the Nova 2 Power 5G is not simply that it has a large battery; it is that AI+ is attempting to make battery capacity a primary reason to choose a lesser-known brand over established names. In practical terms, a 7,000mAh battery can appeal strongly to users who spend long hours on 5G data, YouTube, gaming, navigation or social media.

But the trade-off is equally important. The phone uses an HD+ LCD panel rather than a sharper Full HD+ display, while 33W charging is relatively modest for a 7,000mAh cell. At 222 grams, the large battery also means buyers should expect a heavier device.

That makes the Nova 2 Power 5G a fairly specific proposition rather than an all-round specification leader. The ₹16,999 starting price looks most compelling for users who rank battery life and processor capability above display sharpness, charging speed or camera versatility. AI+ therefore has a clear opportunity, but its bigger challenge will be convincing consumers that long battery life is enough to trust a newer smartphone brand.
