India’s smartphone landscape just got a fresh, privacy-centric addition. NxtQuantum has launched its Ai+ smartphone brand in the country with the introduction of two entry-level smartphones—Ai+ Nova and Ai+ Pulse. These phones not only promise competitive specs but are also designed around data sovereignty, Indian infrastructure, and user privacy.
Both models run on NxtQ OS, a custom-built Indian operating system aimed at offering a secure and localized digital experience. With their emphasis on privacy, affordability, and local manufacturing, the new smartphones aim to rival budget offerings from established brands like Redmi, Lava, Vivo, and itel.
Key Highlights
Ai+ Nova starts at ₹7,999, Ai+ Pulse from ₹4,999
Both phones run Android 15-based NxtQ OS, developed in India
User data is stored securely within India using MeitY-approved cloud regions

India’s First Sovereign Mobile OS: NxtQ OS
