Ai+ Pulse 2 arrives with a 120Hz display, a 6,000mAh battery, and a budget price tag

Ai+ has launched “Pulse 2” in India, expanding its portfolio of budget phones. And compared to the original Ai+ Pulse, this thing brings meaningful upgrades in almost every department, without compromising the budget-friendly price tag. So in this article, I'll be discussing all the features and specs of the Ai+ Pulse 2, alongside its expected price in Nepal. 

Ai+ Pulse 2 Overview:

Design and Display

In terms of design, the Ai+ Pulse 2 follows a modern aesthetic with a sleek, flat-frame build that should feel solid in the hand. It comes in five different color options—Green, Blue, Pink, Purple, and Black—featuring a clean rear panel that looks more premium than its budget price tag suggests. 

On the front, you're looking at a 6.75-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate, meaning it offers smooth scrolling compared to its predecessor which had a 90Hz refresh rate. The panel also supports up to 450 nits of brightness. That's definitely not bright enough for comfortable outdoor viewing, but it shouldn't be a problem when you're indoors.

Additionally, the Ai+ Pulse 2 also comes with an official IP64 rating, so you don't need to worry about dust and some minor water splashes.

Battery and Charging

The one area where the Ai+ Pulse 2 truly outshines its competition in the battery department. Since it is backed by a massive 6,000mAh battery, compared to a 5,000 mAh unit on its predecessor. And in case you were wondering, Ai+ went with a typical Li-Po battery here instead of the more energy-dense silicon-carbon battery. The phone supports 18W charging speeds via a USB Type-C port.

Performance and Software

In terms of performance, the Ai+ Pulse 2 is powered by Unisoc T7250. It's built on a 12nm process, and its octa-core CPU setup should handle your everyday tasks like scrolling through TikTok, Facebook, and switching between apps fairly smoothly.

This has been paired with either 4/6GB of LPDDR4x RAM and up to 128GB of eMMC storage. You also get a dedicated microSD slot here that can take up to 1TB of external storage.

On the software front, the Pulse 2 runs on the brand's new NxtQuantum OS based on Android 16. It is designed to offer a cleaner interface and smoother experience for day-to-day performance.

In terms of photography, the Ai+ Pulse 2 features a 50MP main camera at the back. The same as the original Ai+ Pulse, although the front camera has been upgraded to an 8MP sensor. Ai+ also says it has integrated its own AI enhancements into the NxtQuantum OS, making your photos clearer.
