iKKO Mind One: Pocket-friendly compact smartphone debuts with $299 starting price

The iKKO Mind One is one of the more unusual smartphones that have turned up lately. Spanning 86 x 72 x 8.9 mm, the device is only marginally taller than Motorola's Razr 60 Ultra (curr. $1,299 on Amazon) when folded. In other words, the Mind One is about half the height of something like an iPhone 16 Pro Max or a Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Accordingly, the device's 4.02-inch display is only slightly larger than the Razr 60 Ultra's cover display. The compact housing contributes to iKKO installing a mere 2,200 mAh battery, as does its unusual camera layout. As the video below shows, the 50 MP and 1/1.56-inch Sony sensor can be used as a conventional rear-facing camera or folded towards you for the purposes of taking selfies and video calls.

iKKO mentions that the Mind One will launch towards the end of July with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. However, chipset and display specifications remain unknown for the time being. Apparently, the Mind One provides internet in up to 60 countries without needing a physical SIM. iKOO has not provided full details about this yet either, although we suspect an eSIM is at hand here. Please see iKKO's Kickstarter campaign for more details.
