HMD has launched the Vibe2 Pro 5G in India at a starting price of Rs 14,999 for the 6GB RAM and 128GB storage variant, the 8GB RAM model costs Rs 16,999. The phone features a 64MP Sony IMX682 main camera, a 6000mAh battery with 33W fast charging, a 6.78-inch FHD+ 120Hz display, and the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset. It runs on Android 16 and includes Indus by Sarvam AI for 22 Indian languages and Sanchar Saathi. Sales begin on 8 October on Flipkart during the Big Billion Days.
Homegrown brand Ai+ Smartphone has launched three devices: the Pulse 2 FE starting at Rs 9,999 (4GB RAM, 64GB storage), the NovaTab 5G tablet at Rs 17,999 after bank offers, and the Nova LapTab at Rs 24,999 after offers. The Pulse 2 FE has a 50MP camera, 5000mAh battery, and 6.67-inch HD+ 120Hz screen. All three go on sale from 7 October on Flipkart.
Aajtak.in also published a separate article on 30 September listing budget phones with 6000mAh batteries, including Motorola G64 5G (Rs 13,999), Realme P3x (Rs 12,999), and Mivi One 5G (Rs 12,999), but that list is not part of the launch story.
Update, 30 September 2026: Aajtak.in on 30 September published a separate article listing budget phones with 6000mAh batteries, including Motorola G64 5G, Realme P3x, and Mivi One 5G. This roundup is not a launch story and does not change the facts of the HMD and Ai+ launches reported earlier.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The coverage from aajtak.in and businesstoday.in is uniform straight reporting on the HMD and Ai+ launches, with identical facts on pricing, specifications, and sale dates. Both outlets lead with price and festival timing, and neither adds commentary on government policy or industry strategy. Aajtak.in’s separate, same-day article on large-battery budget phones is a roundup of competing models, not a launch story, so it does not alter the uniform stance of the launch coverage. The balanced reading confirms that both launches are straightforward product announcements with no political or regulatory angle.
