Mind One - A card-sized AI device with a twist.
<p>Ikko (stylized iKKO), better known for high-end in-ear monitors, is the audio-via-gadget outfit behind both the ActiveBuds and this new AI phone, Mind One. They’re not some fledgling startup-this is an established audio brand trying to quietly reinvent the tech in your pocket.</p><p>Meet Mind One</p><p>At about 8 mm by 72 mm, and just 8.9 mm thick-think, the Mind one is a really compact device. It houses a 4" AMOLDED display with the pro-model getting a sapphire glass screen. It weighs about 132g and has an IP54 water and dust resistance rating. </p><p>The Mind One phone is powered by the Mediatek MT8781 (Octa-core, 2x A76 @2.2GHz + 6x A55 @2.0GHz), a mid-low-end smartphone processor. It ships with 8 Gb of RAM and has a base storage of 256Gb. To power the tame SOC is a humble 2200mAh battery.</p><p>The ikko phone has a few tricks up its sleeves. One, it has two operating systems, stock android(GMS Certified) and an in-house developed iKKO AI OS - a lightweight companion, designed to enhance focus and productivity.</p><p> 1. Android 15 for full app freedom</p><p> 2. iKKO AI OS, lightweight and ad-free, dedicated to focus, built-in AI tools, and a distraction‑free workspace. Switch via button press.</p><p>Two, a flipping camera... literally!</p><p>MindOne features a 50MP Sony 1/1.56” sensor with custom OIS and a bright F1.88 aperture - the kind of setup usually reserved for rear cameras only. But here’s the twist: this one flips. So it’s both your front and rear camera, in one. And just like the main screen, the camera is protected by Sapphire Glass - highly resistant to scratches and built for long-term durability.</p><p>Flip it up: selfie camera.</p><p>Flip it down: main camera.</p><p>It rotates 180°, locks at any angle.</p><p><flip camera image></p><p>The camera produces decent images, good enough for a pass.</p><p><photo samples></p><p>The iKKO Mind One supports both nano-SIM and a built-in vSIM/NovaLink system. That means global internet for AI tools in 60-140+ countries-without fussing over data roaming. AI tools include voice notes, summaries, podcast-generation, large language models-no subscriptions needed. </p><p>So, how does MindOne connect without a SIM? Because it has a vSIM system built right into the hardware, no SIM card needed. And we’ve optimized it on two levels. </p><p>NovaLink: Free internet for all built-in AI tools in 60 regions</p><p>vSIM: Full internet in 140 countries, available via easy top-up</p><p>As an accessory iKKO has also developed a snap-in expansion phone case with:</p><p>1. One Compact Case. Five Big Upgrades.</p><p>2. QWERTY Keyboard</p><p>3. Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC</p><p>4. 3.5mm Audio Jack</p><p>5. Extra 500mAh Built-In Battery</p><p>6. Magnetic Attachment</p><p>The Mind One is currently a project on Kickstarterkickstarter(<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ikko/ikko-mind-one-ai-smartphone">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ikko/ikko-mind-one-ai-smartphone</a>), and for the super early-bird, you can get it for 299$. MSRP is expected to be 499$.</p>
