NxtQuantum AI+ Nova 2 : The race to bring affordable AI-powered 5G smartphones to India is really picking up steam. A new brand called AI+, which is part of NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, is planning to launch its Nova series 5G smartphones on June 25, 2025. They haven’t dropped all the details yet—like the full specs or even the names of all the models—but we’ve got an exclusive first look at one of their phones, the AI+ Nova 2 5G.
This scoop, along with an exclusive image, was shared by GSMArena.
Taking a First Look at the AI+ Nova 2 5G
From the image GSMArena posted, the Nova 2 5G shows off a shiny, glossy back with a squircle-shaped camera module in the top-left corner. Inside that little camera island, there are two cameras and an LED flash. What caught my eye was the label “Matrix AI Camera” right next to it—looks like this phone’s camera will rely quite a bit on AI to enhance pictures.
There’s also a sticker on the back saying the phone supports dual SIM, comes with 6GB of RAM, and has 128GB of storage. It’s likely there might be other variants when it officially launches, but that’s still a bit of a mystery.
Price and Model Lineup
According to GSMArena, AI+ confirmed that the Nova series will start at a really affordable ₹5,000 (which is about $60) and go up to ₹8,000 ($95). The series will have three different models, all offering 5G connectivity, powerful AI features, and a focus on sustainable design.
Sustainability and the Make in India Angle
One thing that stands out is their commitment to sustainability. The Nova phones will be made using refurbished parts, aiming to cut down on electronic waste and promote greener production. Plus, in line with the government’s “Make in India” push, these phones will be locally assembled through a partnership with Ismartu.
NxtQuantum OS: Made for India
The AI+ phones will run on NxtQuantum OS, a custom operating system developed by Indian engineers. It’s tailored to Indian users, aiming to deliver a smooth, user-friendly experience that’s optimized for local needs.
When and Where Can You Buy It?
GSMArena reports that the Nova series 5G phones will be available in India starting June 25, 2025, both at offline retail stores and major online platforms like Flipkart. We can expect more official info as the launch day gets closer.
Wrapping Up
AI+ entering the affordable AI-powered 5G smartphone space definitely adds some fresh energy, especially for people who want the latest tech but don’t want to spend too much. Their focus on sustainability and local manufacturing gives them a bit of a unique angle in the crowded Indian smartphone market. It’ll be interesting to see how well they do—but for now, this looks like a promising start.
