Ai+ Pulse 2 Review: There’s always that one moment when you pick up a budget phone and think, “Alright… what’s the catch here?” That’s exactly how my journey with the Ai+ Pulse 2 began. At first glance, it felt like just another basic smartphone trying to exist in an already crowded segment. But then I looked at the price, Rs 8,499, and suddenly, everything started making a lot more sense.
I’ve spent some time with the device now, and here’s everything you need to know.
Ai+ Pulse 2: Quick Pointers
What Works:
- Massive 6000mAh battery
- Smooth 120Hz display
- Stylish design for the price
What Doesn’t:
- The camera feels slow and average
- Gaming performance is weak
- UI is very basic
Ai+ Pulse 2 Design: Surprisingly Stylish
When you’re buying a phone under Rs 10,000, design is usually the last thing you expect to impress you.
But here, I was genuinely surprised.
The Ai+ Pulse 2 carries a half matte, half glossy finish that actually looks quite premium for its price. The camera module adds a bit of character, making the phone stand out just enough without trying too hard.
Yes, the bezels are on the thicker side (something I personally notice a lot), but again… at this price, it’s hard to complain.
Ai+ Pulse 2 Display: Smooth Enough For Daily Use
The phone features a 6.75-inch HD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Now, this is where things get interesting. For binge-watching, scrolling, and casual usage, the experience is actually quite enjoyable.
The 120Hz refresh rate adds that smoothness that you don’t always get in this price segment. It’s not the sharpest panel out there, but it does the job, and does it well enough.
Ai+ Pulse 2 Performance: Know Its Limits
Powered by a Unisoc octa-core processor, this phone is clearly not built for heavy tasks. I tried playing BGMI on the lowest possible settings, and the experience was… let’s just say, not ideal.
The phone heated up, and there was noticeable lag. Performance dropped further after some storage usage. So yes, if gaming is your priority, this is not your phone.
But for daily tasks, calling, WhatsApp, browsing, and light apps, it manages just fine.
Ai+ Pulse 2 Camera: Just… Basic
On paper, you get dual 50MP cameras at the back and an 8MP front camera, which just ‘sounds’ interesting.
In reality… It’s very basic.
Photos take time to process, and the initial shots often look grainy before software processing kicks in. Even after that, the results are just average, nothing that makes you stop and say “wow.”
That said, at this price, expecting flagship-level camera performance wouldn’t be fair either.
Ai+ Pulse 2 Battery: The Real Star
Now this is where the phone truly shines. The 6000mAh battery works great.
For me, it easily lasted around one and a half days with regular usage. That’s something you don’t see often, especially in this segment. The only downside? You get a 10W charger, which feels slow for such a big battery.
Ai+ Pulse 2 Final Verdict: Should You Buy It?
After using theAi+ Pulse 2, one thing became very clear to me: this phone knows exactly what it is.
It’s not trying to be a gaming beast or a camera king.
It’s simply a budget-friendly smartphone that focuses on the basics and does them reasonably well.
If you want:
- Long battery life
- A decent display
- A stylish design on a budget
Then yes, this is a solid choice.
But if you’re someone who cares about gaming performance or camera quality, you might want to look elsewhere.
At Rs 8,499, it’s not perfect, but it’s honest. And sometimes, that’s exactly what matters.
