Ai+ has expanded its lineup in India with the PulseTab, an Android tablet aimed at budget-conscious buyers who still want a more polished multimedia experience. Priced at about $120, the device combines a large 10.95-inch display, a 90Hz refresh rate, quad speakers, and Android 16-based NxtQ OS, which is an unusual mix at this price level.
The launch positions the PulseTab as a low-cost tablet for streaming, online learning, browsing, and everyday use. Ai+ is clearly targeting users who want a dependable entertainment device without paying mid-range tablet prices, while still getting a spec sheet that feels closer to a premium entry-level product.
A bigger display for everyday viewing
Ai+ equips the PulseTab with a 10.95-inch IPS LCD panel and FHD+ resolution. The size gives it enough room for video playback, split-screen tasks, and digital reading, while the 90Hz refresh rate helps scrolling and menu navigation feel smoother.
The company also claims up to 400 nits of brightness, which should help the screen remain usable in indoor and moderately bright outdoor conditions. For students and casual streamers, that combination makes the tablet more practical than many compact budget models that sacrifice screen space.
Hardware built for basic multitasking
Inside, the PulseTab runs on the MediaTek Helio G88 processor. It is not a performance leader, but it is designed to handle common workloads such as web browsing, social media, video calls, note-taking, and light gaming.
The tablet comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, which should be enough for daily use in this segment. Users who need more space can expand storage through the microSD slot, a feature that remains useful for offline videos, downloaded documents, and large app libraries.
Quad speakers are the key entertainment feature
Audio is one of the main selling points of the PulseTab. Ai+ includes four speakers, a setup that usually delivers a wider and fuller sound profile than standard dual-speaker tablets.
That matters for a device meant to be used for films, music, and educational videos. On a tablet, speaker quality can shape the overall experience as much as display quality, and the quad-speaker setup gives the PulseTab a stronger entertainment focus than many rivals in the same price bracket.
Battery life and connectivity choices
The PulseTab carries an 8,000mAh battery, which should support a full day of moderate use depending on brightness settings, network activity, and content type. Ai+ is also making a clear product decision by offering Wi-Fi connectivity only, with no SIM card slot included.
That makes the tablet better suited to home, campus, or office use rather than mobile-first users who need constant cellular data. For buyers mainly looking for a connected screen for streaming and study, the lack of cellular support may not be a major drawback.
Android 16 in the budget segment
One of the most notable details is the software. The PulseTab runs NxtQ OS based on Android 16, giving it a newer software foundation than many low-cost tablets that still ship with older versions.
That matters for interface polish, app compatibility, and ecosystem relevance. In the budget category, updated software can also signal longer-term usability, especially for buyers who want a device that feels current rather than dated at launch.
