Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The BMW Inspired Smartphone is HERE”.
So we’ve got a new fancy phone, a new version of a device which I featured previously on the channel, the very special collaboration between IQ and BMW M Motorsport. If you’ve got one of these M cars, this could be like the ultimate accessory as you just sort of have it on the center console or in the cup holder. Well, this is the new version, the IQ 11 and last time around. I was kind of surprised by a couple different things on that device, especially the speed of the fingerprint scanner. Do you recall this? That is so much more satisfying, and so fast we have a new version, two color variants for this model. It should retail for somewhere around USD 700.
Although the initial regions, it’s launching and don’t include the US, of course, this will expand over time. It’S currently launched internationally in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. The Indian version has yet to launch, of course, there’s also different memory and storage specifications, depending on which version you go for all right. Just before I crack into it. Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 mobile platform, 2K E6 AMOLED display V2 chip, 120 watt, flash charge, Vapor chamber liquid cooling system, 50 megapixel gn5, Ultra sensing, camera main camera 50 megapixels, there’s an 8 megapixel Ultra wide and a 13 megapixel telephoto with a 16 megapixel front-facing camera, and You have a 5 000 milliamp hour battery available with 8 gigs Ram 256 storage or 16 gigs Ram 256 storage. I think you’re gon na want this color, which is the white with the triple stripe. The other color that they’re putting out is a dark model for those that are, I guess, uh wanted to be a little bit more stealth.
The whole point of the special edition is M Motorsport, and so I feel like you might as well. Go all the way with it get the blue black red stripe. So, like the previous version, we have a fairly Hefty camera section sitting in this location, the texture satisfying it’s a leather-like, very grippy.
This is not one of those slippery phones. That’S going to fly out of your hand, it mimics the interior, possibly of an M Motorsport vehicle. This side of the device is gon na.
Have your volume rocker, as well as your power switch USBC on the bottom, for that 120 watt fast, charging SIM tray speaker. Nothing over here and also you have a sort of Slender Edge frame. The display doesn’t curve it’s a flat display, but this makes the the phone feel Slimmer than it actually is the center portion of the frame protrudes beyond the rear and front plate. Look at that.
Some special paperwork – Haiku monster inside M4, GT3 wow – that’s pretty well, you could get buying something like that and an included case this time. They went for a clear case, so you can still show off your M Motorsport. I’M just gon na shine right through there.
Pretty basic case just to get you up and running. Oh look at that Beast: 120 watt fast charging! It’S going to be a beast when it comes to recharging a longer than usual cable that is a type C2 mini jack for audio. Let’S go ahead and plug in there.
You go four percent and then going up in real time, and I won’t need to have this plugged in for very long to get up to ten percent, for example, and when I took it out the box, it was F4. Look at this: it’s flying right now, look keep an eye on that man. 120 watt is no joke and ten percent, if you haven’t experienced super fast charging in this case, they call it flash charge when you’re in a pinch and you’re low on battery you’re about to take a trip like whatever it is, you’re trying to catch up to And you can just quickly brush your teeth, plug this in and then have go from four to twenty percent battery in that amount of time. That is a very rewarding characteristic and it’s something that you really wish all phones had at this point. In 2022, we’re almost at 20 screen size is 6.78 inches 3200 by 1440 Peak brightness, 1800 nits. It does have stereo speakers and Qualcomm Snapdragon sound certification. The super delicate clue to Parry pattern, which is often used in the surface of high-end watches, was chosen as the background of the tri-colored Stripes, but getting a precise classically, elegant appearance. Ah, yes, subtle Fascination meets innovation.
Phone is 40, yes, buttery smooth. Now you can see it’s a symmetrical design on the front: front-facing camera Dead, Center, 16 megapixel and a very symmetrical bezel slightly ever so, teeny tiny, slightly bigger chin on there. Damn close to symmetrical so Mo just told me. I don’t need to Snap photos because he did a much better job.
We have three cameras, so One X, 2X and 0.6 hdr’s in there night mode is in there 8K video is in there. So this is a standard Lighting on Will’s streaming. Computer. Look at that beauty from zidax right there. This is with very limited lighting or low light, still looks really nice, and over here we have pitch black now.
Obviously, the system itself is outputting light. Oh, this is the crazy high resolution is that a Linus Tech tips screwdriver right there. What a Beauty look at the little Nubs on there way more pixels than you’ll ever need, but you can obviously do it.
You can shoot an ultra high resolution image here. We have 8K video foreign. Well, it’s I mean it’s tremendous footage. It’S a little shaky, but thanks to both, you know shaky hands over there, but you’re getting some crazy pixels out of your smartphone 4k60 yeah you’re flying man.
That’S illegal! That’S not street legal! Is it? That’S young MO living life, oh portrait mode with Jack check that one out I know when you were taking this, you were showing me you can you can obviously make adjustments for how aggressive you want the portrait aspect to be so yeah, so versatile camera. As far as the focal range is concerned, here’s your Ultra wide there’s the exact same frame but on the main camera and then obviously your telephoto Hawaiian moment here, uh he’s mad at Elon, actually stereo, but it could be for good reason, uh these decisions that have Been made he’s not angry about this first story. This first story is uh.
Oh, I don’t know, maybe you’re indifferent, I’m not sure it’s definitely stereo delivery right there all right, so I want to talk a little bit about this version compared to the previous version. Obviously, it’s a slightly different approach that they took here. You had Snapdragon 8 gen 1. On the on the last Model. You start a 50 megapixel.
They kept the same screen size on the front as well. The battery is bigger this time around from 4 700 milliamp hours up to 5 000, but I also really like having the new chip and obviously carrying on and forward with 120 watt. Fast charging seems to be fitting for a device catered to speed with the m performance collaboration and branding. It is a special phone.
It’S a unique phone for somebody, who’s looking for something a little bit different foreign .
