The foldable smartphone market in India just got a new affordable contender. After a series of teasers, Ai+ has launched its very first clamshell foldable, the Ai+ Nova Flip 5G. The smartphone makes its debut alongside the Nova 2 5G and Nova 2 Ultra 5G smartphones, coming in at just below the Rs 50,000 price mark.
Ai+ Nova Flip 5G Specifications
Measuring 7.2mm, the Ai+ Nova Flip 5G adopts a familiar premium clamshell design while weighing just 193 grams. Visually, the smartphone looks like a rebranded Nubia Flip 2, featuring a similarly styled outer cover screen, accented by a floating dual-camera ring and an LED flash.
Flip it over, and there's a 6.9-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with 443 PPI density and a rather decent 1,200 nits of peak brightness. The outer display is a 480 x 480 pixel 3-inch OLED panel with a 60Hz refresh rate, and it gets as bright as 900 nits.
Under the hood, the Nova Flip 5G is powered by the 4nm Dimensity 7300X chipset. It's a mid-range processor from MediaTek made specifically for foldable smartphones. The on-board performance is similar to its twin sibling, the Dimensity 7300, which is also an octa-core processor with ARM Cortex-A78 cores. The processor is flanked by up to 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage.
Fuelling the internals is a 4,325mAh battery, which, according to promotional materials, is optimised to last an entire day on full charge. It's backed by 33W fast charging. On the software front, the phone will run the brand's nxtQ OS based on Android 16.
Optics-wise, the Nova Flip 5G features a 50 MP primary sensor, combined with a 2 MP secondary lens. The front boasts a 32 MP built right into the hole punch cutout. As for connectivity, the phone features Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, and a USB 2.0 Type-C port. There's a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for quick unlocking.
Ai+ Nova Flip 5G Price in India
The Ai+ Nova Flip 5G comes in a single White colour and in an 8 GB + 256 GB storage variant, and its price in India is Rs 29,999. The phone goes on sale next week, i.e., from April 14, 2026. The Nova Flip 5G will be available exclusively via Flipkart.
