Ai+ Nova 2 Power 5G Set for India Debut with MediaTek Dimensity 7100 Chipset
4GHz and a Mali-G610 MC2 GPU, according to coverage from The Tech Outlook.
The Ai+ Nova 2 Power 5G is heading to Flipkart on a MediaTek Dimensity 7100 — a 6nm SoC with four Cortex-A78 cores at 2.4GHz and a Mali-G610 MC2 GPU, according to coverage from The Tech Outlook. That chipset confirms exactly where this device sits in the budget tier: efficiency-first silicon, not throughput-first.
What's under the hood
The Dimensity 7100 splits its eight cores into four Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.4GHz for performance threads and four Cortex-A55 cores at 2.0GHz for background work. The GPU is an Arm Mali-G610 MC2 — two shader cores, modest by 2026 standards but in line with mid-settings play that defines budget-tier mobile esports. Ai+ pairs the silicon with nxtQ OS, its custom skin. That software pairing is where the real-world story gets written: ROM overhead on budget SoCs directly affects sustained frame rates once thermal limits kick in.
The 6nm fabrication is the key efficiency detail on the spec sheet. A modern process node gives the chip more thermal headroom before throttling becomes an issue during extended BGMI, Free Fire MAX, or COD Mobile practice sessions.
Confirmed design, the missing pieces
The microsite confirms Blue Fusion and Blue Gold Fusion colourways, both carrying a dual-tone rear panel and a squircle camera cutout housing two sensors, an LED flash, and a circular light. The "Power" in the product name hints at a high-capacity battery, though no mAh figure has been disclosed.
Display refresh rate, touch sampling rate, and touch latency remain unspecified — all three are gating factors for any handset being considered for scrim work. Competitive mobile titles demand consistent touch response, and budget panels often cut corners exactly there.
Project Open Review 2.0 and what to track
Ai+ has reportedly run a Project Open Review 2.0 cycle ahead of retail availability, inviting ethical hackers, reviewers, creators, and journalists to test the device before launch. Whether independent benchmarks — frame pacing, thermal throttling curves, real-world SoC clocks — surface from that window will decide if this handset earns a slot in an esports training rotation.
Launch date and Indian pricing remain undisclosed. At this spec tier, the device competes directly with established Redmi and Realme offerings carrying stronger GPU pipelines. The verdict lands once pricing and display details drop.
