Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “This New BMW Smartphone is an ABSOLUTE MONSTER…”.
Feels so much more futuristic, so today we are checking out an interesting collaboration. This is the latest iku9 pro smartphone. Every phone should have that absolutely every phone should have that. That is such a huge improvement on this technology, but you probably caught the other branding on the package. The m motorsport bmw premium partner. So if you’re familiar with the m branding you’re going to have the stripes you’re going to have the distinctive design right out of the package, people are going to know what they’re looking at. There is an actual motorized gimbal inside of there boom i’m recording mo, and then i turn and that’s incredible. You have the snapdragon 8 gen 1 chip inside up to 512 gigs of storage up to 12 gigs of ram 120 hertz 120 watts fast charging. So i mean it’s kind of got everything you want on the spec sheet, plus the premium styling.
So let’s check it out. I quest on and on interesting look at this m styling blue black and red stripes inspired by motorsport plus. This back has like a kind of blasted matte finish to it. Then you have this large rectangular cutout up top.
It’S a triple set up: 50 megapixel plus 16 megapixel. So there is an ultra wide in here and there’s also gimbal stabilization. The power switch is also done in this bmw, blue, with the volume rocker just above it. You have a nice little texture on the power switch, so you can easily tell the difference between the two without looking.
This thing is going to charge crazy fast. It’S like a full charge in like 20 minutes at 120. Watts speaker unit is there, and that is your sim tray as well. So it’s a symmetrical design.
They decided for the punch, hole style in the middle of the display. Get that vehicle right there, we’ll mine, that actually, by the looks of this it looks like they maybe sponsor the actual competition car as well. So we also get a case that continues. The styling this case actually has a little texture to it as well.
So that’s a bit of an upgrade over the typical included case that you’d have inside of a smartphone package, a dual sim card slot, as well as a tiny little rubber gasket. Look at this monster. That is your 120 watt capable charge brick. They call it flash charge and it’s pretty much as fast as you’re, going to be recharging a smartphone in 2022. It’S like under 15 minutes to 90, fully recharge it in like 20 minutes. I get excited by these types of things, so many of these batteries are tested for somewhere in the neighborhood of 600 cycles.
They claim they can do like a thousand cycles. Anything that makes a device a little bit more distinctive or have some personality is something that i like to check out: check out the uh red white and blue. In the background, i can tell it’s a fast refresh already. We can have resolution here up to 3200 by 1440.. This is obviously a battery life decision. I’M just going to go ahead and lock it into 120, which is ultra high 120, is a beautiful thing, and it’s what you would want on your flagship.
This is a pretty slender little camera cutout and then also we have a pretty aggressive curvature around the sides of the device. It doesn’t feel incredibly enormous in your hand, because it curves around the edges and gives you a really slim grip where you actually end up. Holding it so, prices are starting at just past 800, which, when you look at this spec sheet and compare, is actually uh pretty impressive, especially when you’re talking about a 12 gigabyte ram device. That’S the 256 model.
You can get up to 512 gigs of storage. If you want you’ve got the snapdragon that you want, you got the res that you want. You get the 120 hertz that you want and you’ve got the 120 watt charging that you want there’s a couple of different 120s in there. So the screen is actually 6.78 inches and the battery spec is 4 700 milliamp hours. There’S a couple of different custom wallpapers to choose from probably the stock one is the coolest, so the fingerprint scanner apparently to register it.
It only takes like one touch and then you can adjust the size of the region for the unlock so see how large the region is. I’M gon na go and input my finger check this out. That’S it one touch registration that feels so much more futuristic done and then check this out.
Look how big the region is for the unlock that is so much more satisfying and so fast wow. Let’S try a different finger, nothing! It’S a huge region, man! Every phone should have that absolutely every phone should have that. That is such a huge improvement on this technology.
I’Ll just be here for a while just testing that mo how many different phones have we unlocked with the fingerprint, no a few. Oh, my god it is so superior and the registration is so superior. Yeah. Look at this fingerprint, unlocking area, so i can actually adjust it in here. If, for some crazy reason, i want it to be smaller, i can do that.
You also have some different animation. Styles, oh, that one’s kind of cool – let’s try, oh there’s, even more get real fancy with it. Let me try this one, that one’s more subtle, it’s so addictive. That is absolutely well done.
That is the most impressive fingerprint unlock in display, probably that i’ve ever tested. So you can see your three options from 1x to 2.5 zoom, all the way down to 0.6 on the wide side of things. Hdr looks to be working automatically: 1x, 2.5. 0.6 there’s also a fisheye asteroid and rabbit hole, broken brain.
If you want to use the full 50 megapixels, then you have to head into your alternative camera options. There is an actual motorized gimbal inside of there still a fairly rare thing to have. You can adjust it from standard to ultra. This is ultra stabilization. This is a quick test of the ultra stabilization. Are you going? Where are you going? Where are you going? Where did you go super anti-shake pro? There are so many different stabilization options here, oh horizontal line, so it can lock the horizon boom, i’m recording mo and then i turn and that’s incredible – i’m still recording mo perfect.
Yes, i love the horizon, lock, yeah gimbals. Can they can do things? You can do things with gimbals to see them in smartphones. It’S pretty wild, that’s pretty cool! Actually, it’s a great it’s a great selfie. It will shoot up to 8k 30 frames, which is unusual because a lot of devices that support 8k they tap out at 24 frames. So the stabilization setup is, depending on the resolution you pick and so you’re going to get different stabilization options depending on whether you want to shoot 8k, 4k or 1080..
So keep that in mind you see an increase in vr related insurance claims. Since 2016, there have been 68 overall increase in vr related injuries. Yes, of course you know if you have a bmw like an m nem car, i think you pretty much have to get this phone.
That’S why flossie carter has to use this phone now because he hasn’t, he has an m car like never mind everything else like the fingerprint scanner is just so satisfying. .
