Exclusive: AI+ smartwatch launching this month with in-built TWS, Nova 1 and Pulse 1’s prices tipped
Earlier this week, we exclusively shared an image of the AI+ Nova 2 5G smartphone, which will be launched on June 25 in India. Now we learn that AI+, part of the NxtQuantum Shift Technologies, will also launch the smart wearables category, with the first product – or one of the first products – being a smartwatch with in-built TWS.
Our tipster shared an image of the AI+ smartwatch’s retail box, which suggests the smartwatch will be a part of the “wearbuds” lineup and will be called “wearbuds Watch 3.” There’s also text below the branding that reads “Smartband-Stored True Wireless Earbuds.”
The box doesn’t display the watch’s image, but the outline gives us an idea of the wearable and TWS’ design, with the latter having silicone tips for passive noise cancellation. The tipster told us that like the smartphones, the AI+ smartwatch will also be manufactured in India.
We previously reported that AI+’s Nova series will include “three distinct” 5G smartphone models, priced between INR5,000 ($60/€50) and INR8,000 ($95/€80). We know one of them is the Nova 2 5G, whose price is unknown, and our tipster shared the prices of two phones we haven’t heard of before – the Nova 1 5G and Pulse 1.
The Nova 1 5G will be priced at INR5,000 ($60/€50), while the Pulse 1 will cost INR6,000 ($70/€60).
That said, this new information doesn’t align with what we heard previously, so we are assuming that either the third Nova phone got rebranded to Pulse 1, or that Nova device exists and the Pulse 1 is a different phone.
We’ll hopefully have more clarity about AI+’s products in the coming weeks.
