The Ai+ Pulse 2, priced at Rs. 6,999, delivers strong value with a 6,000mAh battery, Android 16 and a 120Hz display. While performance suits casual use and battery life stands out, it falls short in gaming, display sharpness and UI smoothness.

Ai+ is the brainchild of CEO Madhav Sheth, who, after spending years in the smartphone industry, has decided to build a smartphone brand from India, for India, serving the Indian audience. After launching two phones last year, Sheth has now introduced the Ai+ Pulse 2 for the Indian masses.

Priced aggressively at Rs. 6,999, today we take a look at how the Ai+ Pulse 2 phone holds up in real-world use.

Ai+ Pulse 2 Review: Design

The Pulse 2 marks a clear visual departure from its predecessor. While the original Pulse featured a slightly cut camera bump on the back with a different lens arrangement, the Pulse 2 upgrades to a more defined squircle camera island housing two lenses, an LED flash, and a 'Matrix AI Camera' badge, giving it a more modern, purposeful look. The back panel itself has also changed, moving away from the matte texture of the Pulse 1 to a glossier finish on the Black variant we reviewed. While sleek-looking, it does attract fingerprints rather readily. The phone is available in five colour options - Green, Blue, Pink, Purple, and Black - giving buyers a fair degree of personal expression at this price.
