Overview
AI+ is a smartphone brand built around a clear, focused pitch, genuine privacy-first software backed by real industry experience, launched in July 2025. AI+ operates under NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, founded by Madhav Sheth, the former head of Realme India, who also played a role at Infinix earlier in his career.
Rather than competing purely on specs or price, AI+ has positioned itself around a different priority: keeping user data private, with locally trained AI features and India-based data storage, all running on the brand's own custom software rather than a stock Android skin.
At GBN Store, you can explore AI+'s smartphone lineup, featuring the brand's Pulse and Nova series available for purchase.
AI+ in Nepal
AI+ is one of the newest smartphone brands to reach Nepal, having launched globally only in mid-2025. Although it has a short history, the brand has moved quickly to establish a presence in South Asia, extending its network into Nepal as well.
That said, where you buy products matters just as much as what you want to buy. So, products purchased through official authorised retailers like GBN Store come with full manufacturer warranty coverage, a real advantage over grey-market imports, which carry no such protection if something goes wrong with the device.
AI+ Products in Nepal
AI+ currently offers a focused smartphone lineup at GBN Store, split into two series built for different priorities.
Pulse Series
The Pulse series covers the Pulse and Pulse 2, which is AI+'s entry-level line, built for buyers who want the lowest possible price on a functional smartphone with AI+'s privacy-focused software. The Pulse 2 represents an upgrade over the original Pulse, with a newer chipset, a smoother display, and a larger battery.
Nova Series
The Nova series covers the Nova 5G and Nova 2 5G, which is AI+'s 5G-focused line, aimed at buyers who want future-proof connectivity without paying mid-range prices. The Nova 2 5G builds on the original Nova 5G with a larger battery and newer software out of the box, making it the more capable of the two.
AI+'s Privacy-First Software
The feature that sets AI+ apart from most budget smartphone brands is its software philosophy. Each AI+ phone runs NxtQuantum OS, built specifically around user privacy rather than simply being a lightly modified version of stock Android.
The software comes with no pre-installed bloatware, a dedicated privacy dashboard for controlling exactly what data apps can access, a secure space for protecting sensitive files and apps, and AI features that process on-device rather than routing everything through external servers. The user data is stored on India-based, government-approved infrastructure under a zero-trust framework, a meaningful difference for buyers who've grown tired of budget phones packed with intrusive ads and unnecessary tracking.
Why Choose AI+?
AI+ has built its identity around a few clear strengths that set it apart from more established competitors:
Genuine privacy focus: NxtQuantum OS is built specifically around data privacy, not just marketed as an afterthought.
Experienced leadership: founded by Madhav Sheth, who has a real track record of scaling budget smartphone brands successfully in this exact market.
Aggressive pricing: AI+ phones are priced to compete hard at the entry level, particularly with genuine 5G connectivity on the Nova series.
No unnecessary bloatware: a cleaner, more focused software experience compared to many budget competitors.
Being a newer brand: AI+ doesn't yet have the years-long track record for long-term software support that more established names have built up, worth factoring in if brand longevity is a bigger priority for you than price and privacy features.
