Ai+ Pulse 2 FE India price Rs 9,999

NEW DELHI: Ai+ Smartphone has put the Pulse 2 FE on sale path in India at Rs 9,999 for the 4GB + 64GB model, aiming the handset at first-time smartphone buyers and festive upgrades. The company said the phone will go on Flipkart from 7 October 2026 at 11:59 pm, alongside two new larger-screen devices from the same brand.

Pulse 2 FE carries a 6.67-inch HD+ punch-hole IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a MediaTek Helio G81 octa-core chip, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage that expands up to 1TB. The rear camera is listed as a 50MP AI unit with HDR support, paired with an 8MP front camera. Battery capacity is 5,000mAh with 18W charging. Ai+ also quotes IP64 protection, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and dual-mic noise cancellation.

Colours are Black, Blue, Green and Purple. Software is Android 16 with the brand's nxtQ OS skin. Madhav Sheth, CEO of NxtQuantum Shift Technologies (Ai+ Smartphone), framed the launch as part of a wider festive push that also takes the brand beyond phones into tablets, with products designed in India and an ambition to compete globally.

Where it sits and what buyers get

At Rs 9,999, Pulse 2 FE sits in the crowded sub-Rs 10,000 band where battery life, a usable camera and a smooth enough display matter more than peak benchmarks. Ai+ is leaning on the 120Hz panel, expandable storage and IP64 claim to stand out against other entry 4G handsets still selling hard ahead of Diwali.

The company did not publish a higher RAM or storage SKU for Pulse 2 FE in the launch note. Shoppers who need more RAM for heavy multitasking will have to look at Ai+'s Nova 2 series phones, which start higher and already include 5G models. Nova 2 Power is listed from Rs 15,999 after offers with a 7,000mAh cell, Nova 2 Pro from Rs 16,999, and Nova 2 Ultra from Rs 18,999 with an AMOLED panel and Dimensity 7400 silicon.

Sale timing on Flipkart is fixed for the night of 7 October. Until then, the launch is a price-and-spec announcement rather than open retail. Bank offers, exchange values and open-box stock will only show once the Flipkart listing goes live.

Festive context and what to check at checkout

Ai+ positioned Pulse 2 FE as the "First Step to a Smarter World" SKU for buyers entering or refreshing a basic smartphone. That pitch matches India's festive cycle, when many households buy a first phone for a student or replace an ageing handset before Diwali gifts and travel.

Before paying on 7 October, buyers should confirm whether the listing is 4G-only (as the Helio G81 path implies), check SAR and warranty terms on the product page, and compare bank offer nets against nearby 5G options if coverage in their pin code is strong. Expandable storage helps, but microSD speeds and dual-SIM behaviour still need a quick check on the Flipkart FAQ once stock appears.

Ai+ is part of NxtQuantum Shift Technologies. The Pulse 2 FE launch arrived with NovaTab and Nova LapTab, which open a separate tablet and hybrid lane for the brand on the same Flipkart night. Those devices are covered in a companion Dalimss story.
