New Delhi [India], June 23: Ai+ Smartphone today announced the reveal of the Nova 2 Neo 5G and Nova 2 Pro 5G, expanding its Nova Series portfolio and reinforcing their commitment to delivering trusted, accessible, and performance-driven smartphone experiences for Indian consumers.
Designed for different user needs while sharing a common philosophy of design, reliability, and transparency, the Nova2 Neo 5G and Nova2 Pro 5G bring the Nova experience to a broader audience from first-time smartphone users and value-conscious buyers to creators, professionals, and performance-focused upgraders.
In a departure from traditional smartphone launches, Ai+ Smartphones unveiled the devices through "India's Got Nova", an entertainment-led launch format hosted by comedian Samay Raina alongside Gadget Guru Rajiv Makhni. The launch combined audience interaction, product demonstrations, live debates, and real-world challenges to showcase the devices in a more authentic and consumer-centric manner.
The reveal also follows Ai+ Smartphones' recently announced Open Review Program, under which reviewers, creators, journalists, and members of India's technology community were invited to use, test, challenge, and review the devices before they become commercially available. With no embargoes, no talking points, and no review guidelines, the initiative reflects the company's belief that trust is earned through transparency and that consumer feedback should help shape products before they reach the market.
Commenting on the reveal, Madhav Sheth, CEO, Ai+ Smartphone & Founder, NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, said, "The smartphone market is becoming increasingly diverse, with consumers seeking devices that align with their individual lifestyles, aspirations, and expectations rather than a one-size-fits-all experience. The Nova Series was created to address this shift by bringing together thoughtful design, dependable performance, trusted software, and meaningful innovation within a single portfolio."
"With the introduction of the Nova 2 Neo and Nova 2 Pro, we are expanding the reach of the Nova Series across a broader spectrum of users from first-time smartphone owners to performance-focused upgraders. At the same time, we wanted the launch itself to reflect the values we stand for. That's why we chose to involve the community, invite honest feedback, and launch these devices through a format that prioritises real conversations over presentations." he added.
The Open Review Program received an overwhelming response from the technology community, with hundreds of reviewers, creators, journalists, and technology enthusiasts registering to participate. Feedback from the program will continue to be incorporated as part of Ai+'s broader commitment to transparency, product improvement, and consumer trust.
