At CES 2026, the iKKO MindOne concept AI smartphone was presented, the size of a bank card, with a flip camera and a physical QWERTY keyboard
Especially for those tired of today's huge smartphones, iKKO has unveiled an unusual concept, the MindOne — a compact device the size of a bank card with several non-standard solutions.
What is known
At the CES 2026 exhibition, iKKO, in partnership with MediaTek and SIMO, showcased the MindOne mini smartphone with a 4.02” AMOLED display with sapphire glass, 1240×1080 resolution, and a frequency of 90 Hz.
MindOne runs on Android 15 but also has the iKKO AI OS shell installed, which provides the user with additional intelligent features.
Performance is powered by the MediaTek Helio G99, complemented by 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The developer claims that the 2200 mAh battery provides up to 16 hours of video on a single charge.
The gadget is card-sized, making it one of the most compact Android devices on the market. MindOne is aimed at users who need a small but functional smartphone that can ensure constant internet access and AI features, regardless of the quality of the local network and mobile connection. To achieve this, iKKO MindOne uses the MediaTek MT8781 vSIM platform and SIMO's Virtual SIM technology. This allows the smartphone to automatically switch to the global network in more than 140 countries if Wi-Fi or a physical SIM is unavailable or unstable.
Another feature of the novelty is the flip-up camera, a rarity for modern smartphones. It uses a 50 MP Sony sensor with optical stabilization (OIS) and an f/1.88 aperture.
The device supports a detachable QWERTY keyboard, turning it into a mini analogue of classic BlackBerry devices.
MindOne is currently campaigning on Kickstarter, but it is still unknown if the mini smartphone will go on sale. If it happens, the MindOne price will be $499 for the Pro version.
The case with the qwerty keyboard will be sold separately for $109.
