A cool looking smartphone with a smartwatch built-in - the new Unihertz TickTock-S will have you dancing like nobody's watching!

 

The key selling point for the Unihertz Tick Tock S is the integrated face watch, which is essentially a smartwatch built-in to the rear side of the phone. 

 

Just like most smartwatches, the TickTock-S face watch has its own settings, including backlighting and screen timeout. The TickTock-S smartwatch is operated via touch control and the two left side buttons.

 

 The Unihertz Tick Tock S comes with 256GB storage space, although 13GB is already used up out of the box. The screen display resolution is 1080p, which is great when watching videos and gaming. One drawback though, 1080p consumes more battery than a 720p phone display.

 

The rear camera setup is a dual one - a primary 64MP lens with a 2MP depth sensor for macro. On the front, the Unihertz Unihertz Tick Tock S uses Panda MN228 glass and a corner facing front selfie camera with a punch hole notch design. 

 

The Tick Tock S weighs 296 grams (without case) and 329 grams with case. The phone body is made of PC & TPU, while the buttons are made of aluminum alloy.

 

In terms of performance, the Unihertz TickTock-S is equipped with a MediaTek chipset (Dimensity 700) which is an 8-core 7n chip with two Cortex-A76 cores with a max clock speed of 2200 MHz and six Cortex-A55 cores with a max clock speed of 2000 MHz. Two years ago, the Dimensity 700 was a solid chip but sluggish by today's standards. It is better suited for casual gaming and light use.

The biggest drawback with the Dimensity 700 chip is the under powered GPU (Mali-G57 MC2), which struggles with free-to-play shooter games (e.g. Call of Duty: Mobile) running the Timi game engine. Mobile gaming is unplayable in high setting, unless set to "medium graphic" and "medium frame rate". If you're looking for a true gaming phone the Titan Pocket is a better choice.

 

 

Accessories included are an audio dongle (male USB-C to female 3.5mm), male to male USB-C cable, screen protector and rubber phone case, which feels very protective but doesn't have an anchor point for lanyard or reinforced corner protection. You can buy the Tick Tock S phone from Unihertz and amazon.
