The Strange AI Smartphone

Little-known audio brand iKKO has just launched a breakthrough product: the iKKO Mind One smartphone. This is a unique Android smartphone with a square design and a size just a little larger than a bank card. The product stands out with a flip camera, dual operating system and especially the ability to access the global internet for free, just to serve AI tasks. Photo: NewAtlas.

Measuring just 86 x 72 x 8.9 mm, the MindOne Pro is one of the most compact Android 15 phones available today. The device has a 4.02-inch AMOLED display and a 50 MP rotating camera from Sony. Despite its slim body, the MindOne Pro still delivers surprising performance. Photo: NewAtlas.

According to the developer, MindOne Pro is designed for those who need a convenient phone but do not want to be bothered by constant notifications. The unique feature of this device is its dual operating system. The device runs both Android 15 and "iKKO AI OS" in parallel - a lightweight operating system, specialized for AI tasks such as translation, speech to text or summarization. According to NewAtlas ' experience, iKKO AI OS works smoothly, allows users to run Android applications and stands out with its text translation ability, which is considered more effective than Google Lens.

The device has a single 50 MP camera that can be flipped up like the "pop-up" camera trend on smartphones 5-7 years ago. This feature helps users switch between normal photo shooting, selfie and vlog recording modes. In terms of configuration, MindOne Pro is equipped with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB internal memory, along with Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity, built-in stereo speakers and a USB-C charging port.

One of the notable highlights of MindOne Pro is NovaLink - iKKO's exclusive virtual SIM (vSIM) technology. This system provides free global internet, without the need for a physical SIM, for AI features in more than 60 countries.

This feature is especially useful when users need to use maps or translation without Wi-Fi or a mobile plan. In addition, MindOne Pro still supports the traditional nano-SIM slot and offers paid vSIM data plans in more than 140 countries, meeting all common usage needs. Photo: NewAtlas.

Despite having a touchscreen, users can purchase an additional Snap-In Expansion Case accessory. This magnetically attaches, adding a QWERTY keyboard, DAC chip, 3.5mm audio port and extra battery, without significantly increasing the size or weight of the device. Photo: iKKO.

The MindOne Pro is currently priced from $369 . This price includes the phone, basic accessories (screen protector, charging cable, manual), and a one-year warranty. The device comes in four main colors: black, pearl white, sky blue, and pink. Users can also purchase a magnetic case for $79 (retail price $109 ). Photo: NewAtlas.
