$99 OLED Badge Plays GIFs From an iPhone! Dope? #Helpful Post

what's up guys everything outpull pro

here and I wanted to show you something

a bit unusual there's a new product that

caught my attention a few days ago and I

wanted to review it for you guys because

you know it just seems like there's not

enough things your day to day basis that

you need to charge I mean your iPhone

your watch your headphones your computer

iPad and now here is a new one it's

called the beam OLED badge or basically

just the beam so what it is is a smart

button that's on a day to day basis will

actually just display images badge art

really anything you want it to gifts

even on your clothing and it's also a

fashion statement so it just seems quite

interesting you know it looks pretty

simple just like a regular badge here

but this contains a 400 by 400 pixel

organic LED display so matching that of

your iPhone 10 I think it might look

pretty cool you can put anything you

really want on it so let's take a look

and see if it's a waste of money or if

it's actually something pretty nice I

mean from the pictures from the promo

artwork it did seem pretty neat alright

so here it is surely one of the

strangest iPhone accessories I've ever

reviewed of course this does work with

Android as well but the essential use

for it seems to be for campaigning for

getting your message across if you guys

want to walk around as a beacon to your

cause you can do that as personally I

would just put some stupid gifts on

there and have it play all day but let's

go ahead and check it out regardless

it's a very interesting product despite

what you use it for so let's check out

the build quality here very curious it's

a very small gadget smaller than I

thought it would be and the way it works

is not through pins but through actual

magnets that appears though that there

is a pin version for it too huh alright

so this is what you get inside you get a

couple magnets to hold it up in case you

lose one I guess you have another one in

there you have a strap oh I guess it's

like put it on your backpack or a

keychain or something that's pretty cool

and a little case for it so doesn't get

damaged if it gets dropped alright let's

take a look at it so that is extremely

small actually Wow it has a mag

on the back here so let me try one of

these pads here ah quite strong so it'll

be able to work through several layers

of clothing as it's intended but how

does the display look it's a very tiny

one there it is you can get the outer

border in black or white and the

interesting thing is there's a panic

button so up to four people connected

with this will get a notice when you

actually click panic on it in case of

angry protesters or something I don't

know but let me see how do you turn this

on that one is definitely not the power

button so that is an organic LED display

it's immediately apparent very dark

blacks around the text here quite

vibrant and crisp just on those colors

right there but alright I think that's

all that it's gonna do until we connect

it to our iPhone so let me go ahead and

download the app and I'll be right back

alright so with the app downloaded we

have to connect it to our beam alright

so I managed to set it up on another

iPhone for some reason I'm having

connectivity issues on the iPhones and

even after the new update pushed out to

fix it today in any case it does work so

this is how you get that to work you

basically go to create one or you can

select one from your library here now

you can do gifts and videos as well but

I wasn't able to actually get a video

gift to work for whatever reason it just

just conks out and becomes a picture so

I'm not sure if that's an intended

feature but there is a section where you

can get certain gifts that are optimized

for it over here and there's several

sections maybe it's a thing where they

don't want you to use any third-party

ones I'm really not sure why but let's

go ahead and use this one here and go

and next just show you guys how this

works so you can go ahead and customize

it and then beam it to your device you

can draw on them you can do whatever you

want really and it does take a little

while for it to get sent over to your

device I'm not sure why but as you can

see there is a loading indicator for a

little gif it takes quite a bit of time

to get it on there but in any case

that's kind of an interesting little

device pretty thin but $400 after just a

few minutes hands-on impression

sure I mean yeah you can find some use

with it but the displays so tiny

not that bright but you can't change the

brightness settings here if you actually

go into these settings over here you can

go all the way up on the brightness and

it does get a little bit better but it's

still pretty dim in comparison in bright

sunlight I don't see this thing being

very useful give status doesn't really

work that well for some reason I'm not

sure what's going on it's not even

playing this gif for me alright so if

not gifts let's try something else I

have an image on here so I'm gonna go

ahead and send it over see how that

looks but I'm not having much luck with

the gift section they're just not

working on this thing definitely

something they'll need to fix all right

and great this thing has one up into

total lockout mode for whatever reason

just froze on me really not great

impressions for a new product that costs

this much it's very slow unresponsive oh

there's something going on now Homer

Simpson is burned into the display not

really sure what's going on but this

thing is not doing very well

impressions are pretty bad so far all

right I've restarted it has been bricked

almost it literally will not connect to

my device so I'm gonna try once again

before I give up hope here and smash

this thing super annoying alright still

no luck so I beamed over another one

after it started responding this is what

it should be looking like instead it's a

static image with buffering going on so

really not happy with this it is an

interesting concept though I got to give

him that to wear this on yourselff and

project something to other people from a

distance you know it's really hard to

tell if you really get up close and

maybe you start making out the details

it's pretty dim it's an interesting idea

poor execution

another thing that's gonna go in the bin

of I don't know why do they make its

kind of novel but it's why you know so I

got it to work and this is theoretically

what it should be like I mean you should

be seeing this gift without the white

blinking and now I'm unable to pair it

with my device like this has been

nothing but frustration connection issue

after connection

shoo these guys really need to figure

out their stuff house this has been a

terrible first impression for me like I

would not even consider going back to

this product after something like this

so definitely would not advise you to

spend $99 on this so there it is guys

just wanted to share pretty interesting

iPhone accessory with you totally

unnecessary I guess kind of cool you

guys might see these on eBay in a year

or so for like 20 bucks maybe pick one

up then and hopefully the support would

be better by then anyways thanks for

watching guys hope you enjoyed it

peace
