Nowadays when all smartphones are running after big screens, heavy bodies and more megapixels, a small Hong Kong-based company iKKO has shown a different thinking. Meet iKKO Mind One AI – a card-sized AI-powered smartphone that is making headlines across the world, and now attracting the attention of Indian tech lovers as well.
Small size, big thinking
When the world is stuck in 6.7-inch bulky phones, iKKO Mind One AI has started a revolution. Despite being 86mm x 72mm and just 8.9mm thick, this phone has:
• Rotating camera that works for both front and back
• Detachable QWERTY keyboard for people who are bored with touch typing
• AI tools like live translation, podcast generation, and AI assistant
And all this in a phone that’s smaller than your wallet!
Camera that roams!
The most interesting feature of this phone is its flip-style rotating camera – a single sensor does the work of both selfie and rear photo. There’s no need for a notch or punch-hole. And the sensor isn’t ordinary either—Sony’s IMX766 (which is found in flagship phones), so the photo quality is also quite amazing.
Dual OS: Android 15 + AI System
iKKO Mind One AI comes with not one but two operating systems:
• Android 15 for your usual WhatsApp, YouTube, Instagram needs
• iKKO AI OS – a minimalist OS focused on productivity and AI tools
The processor has not been officially announced, but according to reports it could have MediaTek Dimensity 7300 – quite balanced and efficient.
With 8GB RAM + 256GB storage, multitasking will also go well.
Global Internet – Without SIM!
The Pro version of Mind One AI has built-in global internet support – works in over 60 countries without SIM and Wi-Fi. But this access is only for AI tools and built-in apps – not for YouTube or Instagram.
Snap-On Keyboard and HiFi Audio
For QWERTY keyboard lovers, iKKO has also made an optional keyboard case – which has:
• Tactile physical keys
• For 3.5mm headphone jack (yes, still possible!)
• And a HiFi DAC (CS43198) for crystal-clear music – reminds us of iKKO’s audio roots.
Battery Small, But Performance Smart
The 2200mAh battery may seem a bit small, especially for heavy users.
But for lightweight use (AI tools, notes, media control), it is fine.
Rising Craze in India
iKKO launched this phone on Kickstarter and was supported by tech geeks, creators and minimalists from all over the world. The craze for such niche gadgets is increasing in India as well. Tech reviewers and hobbyists are calling it the next-gen utility gadget.
What is the price?
Launch price: $299 (approximately ₹21,500)
It is a very reasonable price for those who want something unique and experimental.
Final Verdict – Is this for you?
iKKO Mind One AI is not a flagship killer – but a phone made for people who:
• miss a physical keyboard
• want a lightweight, compact phone
• use AI tools and voice assistants daily
• appreciate high-fidelity audio in music
If you are one of those who think “a phone should be different”, then this gadget is perfect for you.
Make it smart, not big!
iKKO Mind One AI is a reminder that size doesn’t define smartness. Sometimes it’s the small things that make the most impact.
