AI+ PULSE 2 FE: Design and build quality
The phone adopts a straightforward, practical design and weighs approximately 191g, a relatively slim profile for a device with a 5,000mAh battery. It is offered in Black, Blue, Green and Purple finishes. Physical conveniences include a 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C port, a dedicated microSD (TF) slot and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The device carries an IP64 rating, which provides dust protection and resistance to water splashes but does not make it fully waterproof.
Display and entertainment experience
The AI+ PULSE 2 FE uses a 6.67-inch IPS panel with HD+ resolution (720 × 1600 pixels) and a 120Hz refresh rate, intended to deliver smoother scrolling and fluid transitions for social media, video streaming and casual gaming. Typical brightness is 500 nits; the display also features full lamination and an oleophobic coating to reduce smudges during regular use.
Performance and software experience
The phone is powered by the MediaTek Helio G81 chipset (12nm), with an octa-core CPU clocked up to 2.0GHz and an ARM Mali-G52 MC2 GPU, paired with 4GB of RAM. This configuration is aimed at everyday tasks such as messaging, web browsing, video streaming and digital payments. The device runs Android 16 with nxtQ OS and includes an NXT Privacy Dashboard designed to simplify app permission and tracking controls; the software emphasizes a consent-first approach and a zero-trust architecture to limit background access.
Camera capabilities
Rear imaging is anchored by a 50MP primary camera with autofocus, HDR support and a single-tone LED flash, suitable for everyday snapshots, portraits and outdoor scenes. The phone also offers a dual video mode for supported recording scenarios. A front-facing 8MP fixed-focus camera provides HDR and face beauty features for selfies and video calls.
Battery life and charging
The 5,000mAh battery is positioned to support a full day of typical use, depending on individual habits. The device supports charging at up to 18W but ships with a 10W charger in the box; charging and wired data transfer use the USB Type-C connector.
Storage, connectivity and everyday convenience
The retail configuration includes 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, expandable up to 1TB via the dedicated TF card slot. Connectivity features cover dual-band Wi‑Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, VoLTE, VoWiFi and USB OTG. The box contains a transparent TPU case, a USB Type-C data cable, a SIM ejector tool, three layers of transparent protective film and the 10W charger.
Price and verdict
Available on Flipkart at ₹8,999, the AI+ PULSE 2 FE positions itself as an accessible entry-level option with a focus on practicality and everyday usability. Its combination of a large battery, a 120Hz display, basic but capable cameras and privacy-focused software makes it well suited to first-time smartphone buyers and users upgrading from older devices. On balance, the device is rated 4 out of 5 for delivering a well-rounded everyday smartphone experience.
