This New BMW Smartphone is an ABSOLUTE MONSTER...

I feel so much more futuristic

So today we are checking out an interesting collaboration. This is the latest IQ9 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 gonna 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. iQuest 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 setup, 50 megapixel plus 16 megapixels

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 gonna 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 a bit of an upgrade over the typical included case that you 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 percent. 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 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 just past $800, which when you look at this spec sheet and compare is actually 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've got the res that you want. You've got 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

going to 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. Mo! 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. Ooh, that one's kinda 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. Ah

Ooh. 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. Where 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. Go horizontal line so it can lock the horizon

Boom, I'm recording Moe and then I turn and that's incredible. I'm still recording Moe

Perfect. Yes, I love the horizon lock. Yeah, gimbals, they can do things

You can do things with gimbals. To see them in smartphones is pretty wild

That's pretty cool. Actually, 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 gonna get different stabilization options

depending on whether you wanna shoot 8K, 4K, or 1080. So keep that in mind

increase in VR-related insurance claims. Since 2016, there have been 68% overall increase in VR-related injuries

Yes, of course! If you have a BMW, like an M, any M car

I think you pretty much have to get this phone. That's why Flossie Carter has to use this phone now

Because he has an M car. Like, never mind everything else. It's like the fingerprint scanner is just so satisfying

Okay
