Ai+ Pulse 2 FE, NovaTab and Nova LapTab: Can a Low-Price Trio Win India’s Festive Buyers?

Pulse 2 FE: the ₹9,999 everyday phone

Ai+ Smartphone has stepped past handsets alone. Ahead of Diwali, the brand has added three India devices aimed at everyday use: the Pulse 2 FE smartphone, the NovaTab 5G tablet, and the laptop-style Nova LapTab. The move, covered by Hindustan Times Tech, puts a sub-₹10,000 phone beside two larger 5G screens that share Android 16 and the company’s nxtQ OS.

For shoppers comparing festive tablet and hybrid options on TN8, start with Gadgets and the price ladder below.

Pulse 2 FE: the ₹9,999 everyday phone

The Pulse 2 FE is framed as an entry point for first-time smartphone buyers and simple upgrades. It uses a 6.67-inch HD+ IPS panel with a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and video. Power comes from a MediaTek G81 chip with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, expandable to 1TB.

On the camera side, Hindustan Times lists a 50MP AI rear camera with HDR and an 8MP front camera. The battery is 5,000mAh with 18W charging. Extra everyday extras include IP64 protection, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and dual-mic noise cancellation. Software is Android 16 with nxtQ OS. Colour options are Black, Blue, Green and Purple.

At ₹9,999 for the 4GB/64GB model, the FE is clearly the volume play in this launch—less about flagship claims, more about a usable daily driver under ten thousand rupees.

NovaTab: Ai+’s 5G tablet for study and media

The NovaTab is Ai+’s entry into India’s 5G tablet market. The pitch is students and learning, with a screen large enough for reading, research and entertainment. Specs in the HT report include an 11.97-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a T760 octa-core processor. Memory and storage choices are 6GB or 8GB RAM with 128GB storage.

Connectivity covers 5G and Wi-Fi. The battery is rated at 8,000mAh with 18W charging. Dual speakers handle media; cameras are 13MP rear and 8MP front. Like the phone, it runs Android 16 on nxtQ OS. Colours: Dark Blue and Cinnamon Brown.

Pricing, including bank offers as reported by Hindustan Times: ₹17,999 for 6GB/128GB and ₹20,999 for 8GB/128GB. That puts NovaTab in the mid-budget 5G tablet band rather than the ultra-premium tier.

Nova LapTab: stylus, keyboard and a taller work screen

Nova LapTab is the productivity-facing device. It carries a 13.2-inch 2.4K panel at 2,400 × 1,600 with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 3:2 aspect ratio—more vertical space for documents and notes. Stylus and attachable keyboard support let users flip between entertainment, note-taking and laptop-like tasks.

Inside: an MT8755 octa-core processor, 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, expandable to 1TB. Battery capacity is 10,000mAh with 33W charging and quad speakers. 5G and Wi-Fi are both supported. Cameras are 16MP rear and 8MP front. Software again is Android 16 with nxtQ OS. Colour choices: Teal Green and Dark Blue.

Hindustan Times puts the 8GB/128GB Nova LapTab at ₹24,999 including bank offers—still a budget hybrid relative to many Windows convertibles, but clearly the premium of this three-device set.

Shared software, split roles, Flipkart timing

Across the lineup, Android 16 with nxtQ OS is the common layer. 5G is on both NovaTab and Nova LapTab; the Pulse 2 FE stays the affordable smartphone rung. That split—phone under ₹10,000, mid tablet, then keyboard hybrid—gives Ai+ a small ecosystem story without asking buyers to jump into premium pricing.

Sale timing is specific: the three devices go on Flipkart from 7 October at 11:59 PM, per the HT Tech report. That places availability squarely in the pre-Diwali shopping window, when search interest for budget 5G tablets and hybrid devices usually rises.

What this means for you

If you need a basic Android phone under ₹10,000, Pulse 2 FE is the clear pick in this launch. Students who want 5G on a larger screen should weigh NovaTab’s RAM tiers; anyone who wants stylus-plus-keyboard work on a 3:2 panel should look at Nova LapTab. Check Flipkart from the evening of 7 October and confirm live bank offers before you buy—the headline prices above include those offers where HT reported them.
