Ai+ Nova Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.3/10
Verdict
Privacy-focused software and decent battery life sit at the core of the AI+ Nova 5G smartphone. This makes it an appealing choice for users who value simplicity and transparency. However, its basic display, slow charging, modest performance, and average cameras hold it back, and the lack of meaningful AI features feels underwhelming. It is best suited to first-time buyers or as a secondary phone.
Pros
- Clean, privacy-focused software
- Decent battery life
- Good design
Cons
- Average cameras
- Performance needs improvement
Near-stock OS, but needs refinements & AI features
+
Software is the key highlight of this phone. Although it runs Android 15 out of the box, the AI+ Nova 5G differentiates itself with an all-new NxtQ skin. The skin is free of third-party apps and add-ons, so the experience remains closer to stock. However, I can spot a few elements in the software that the company might have taken from other custom skins, like the charging animations, which starkly resemble those of HyperOS (formerly known as MIUI), and the quick settings menu, which looks identical to the ColorOS phones.

Budget-centric design with a distinction
+
The AI+ Nova 5G goes for an unmistakably budget-centric design. It adopts the flat edges and slab-like rear you'd usually associate with pricier devices, but the overall in-hand feel doesn't quite reach that premium benchmark. Even so, the company has tried to stand out by using a glasstic back panel - one that looks decent at first glance but picks up fingerprints and smudges almost instantly. Realistically, you'll want to snap on the bundled case straight out of the box.

Okayish display
+
On the front, the AI+ Nova 5G features a 6.74-inch HD+ IPS LCD display, with a U-shaped notch for the selfie camera, surrounded by noticeable bezels and a rather prominent chin. Expectations should be modest here, which is fair given the phone's budget positioning. The display is serviceable for everyday tasks, browsing, casual streaming, social feeds, and general indoor use, but you won't get razor-sharp visuals or particularly vibrant colours.

Good performer for basic tasks
+
At the heart of the AI+ Nova 5G is the Unisoc T8200 chipset, paired with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage. The SoC includes 5G support, allowing users to tap into faster network speeds when available. Performance, however, is where the device shows its limits. Thermal management isn't particularly strong, and the phone tends to warm up easily.

Day-long battery life, but slow charging speeds
+
The AI+ Nova 5G comes with a 5,000mAh battery, which is fairly typical for phones in this price bracket. The PCMark endurance test couldn't be completed due to repeated crashes, but our in-house testing offered a more reliable picture. In the YouTube video loop test, the phone dropped just 5 percent in an hour, and across three 30-minute sessions of graphically demanding games, it lost around 6 percent per title. These numbers put its battery performance right in line with its main rivals.

Serviceable cameras
+
The AI+ Nova 5G is equipped with a dual-camera setup, offering a 50MP primary sensor. The front camera is a 5MP lens for selfies and video calling. This is a very basic point-and-shoot camera setup - identical to some of the other smartphones within the segment. There isn't much to expect from the cameras, which struggle with details and colour accuracy even in well-lit environments. The sensors can capture images at a decent pace, with respectable dynamic range; however, the results often appear soft with a bit of graininess and muted colours.
