Ai+ is making another move in India's crowded budget smartphone space. The company just teased the Ai+ Pulse 2 FE on Flipkart, confirming an India launch is on the way. This comes hot on the heels of their Nova 2 Power 5G debut, so the brand's clearly pushing hard to grab market share in the under-Rs 15,000 segment.
Here's what we know so far from the teaser page. The Pulse 2 FE will rock a MediaTek Helio G81 processor, which is a 4G octa-core chip clocking up to 2.0 Ghz. Don't expect flagship performance, but the Helio G81 handles everyday tasks and light gaming without breaking a sweat. The back design shows vertically stacked square camera sensors next to an LED flash, giving it a fairly standard look for the price range. You'll get a choice of Green, Blue, Purple, or Black, so there's some color personality here.
Ai+ hasn't revealed the exact launch date or full specs yet, but the Flipkart microsite hints that more details are coming soon. Based on its positioning below the Nova 2 Power 5G (which starts at Rs 16,999), the Pulse 2 FE is expected to land under Rs 15,000. That would make it a solid contender in the budget space if the specs and build quality hold up.
The Nova 2 Power 5G, Ai+'s latest launch, packs a 6.75-inch 120Hz LCD display, MediaTek Dimensity 7100 chipset, up to 8GB RAM, and 128GB storage. It runs NxtQuantom OS based on Android 16. By comparison, the Pulse 2 FE is clearly aimed at buyers who want a no-frills 4G phone without breaking the bank. Whether that's enough to stand out in an ultra-competitive market remains to be seen.
If you're hunting for a budget phone and waiting for proper pricing and specs, keep an eye on that Flipkart page. Ai+ should reveal everything closer to the official launch. For now, the teaser confirms this isn't a rumor anymore, it's happening.
