A tiny round screen you pin to your shirt. The Badge Magic Pro is an electronic badge with a small colour touch display, a proper metal pin on the back, USB-C charging and a phone app, and the whole point is that it plays your own photos, slideshows and GIFs. The part that got me is that it doesn't read as a gadget at all — sitting still on a shirt it looks like a printed pin badge, until it moves. Getting there took some fumbling: the leaflet's pairing instruction is wrong, and the app ships completely empty, so every image on it is one you supply yourself. This is a fun buy, not a useful one, and I say so in the video. I didn't test battery life, durability or how it holds up in direct sunlight.

The video features a review of the Badge Magic Pro, a small electronic badge designed for fun and personalization rather than utility. The reviewer explores its physical design, the process of connecting it to a mobile app, and its ability to display custom images, slideshows, and GIFs.
What's up guys! Today's gadget is quite special actually.
It is a tiny gadget and it's for fun. Not for usability. So if you are a person who only likes
usability things, it's not for you. And it's a badge actually. It's called Badge Magic Pro and
it's an electronic badge. It has different videos you can play, a picture, a response light effect
and you can control it with an app. And overall it looks just like this one. I hope it is as edge
to edge in terms of screen as it shows but it will most likely will not be. But overall I found it
really cute. It was available in different colors. I got this one. You can also get it in these
colors and I really liked it. So let's check it out. I thought it was really cute and I had to
and try it for myself. So you have a type A to type C. That is for charging. So you have some
tiny little description and it's app for which they are sharing the QR code and then some
description. So on that you have screen, pin. Because it is a badge you can like plug it into
your shirt, carry bag and use it as a badge which looks really cool. Bluetooth button.
I think it will pair with Bluetooth then I am assuming. Then you have on off,
brightness and Pepsi charging. Triple tap to lower brightness. Shorten to 3 to increase brightness.
Image transfer between electronic badges. Got it. Alright. I think I have gotten the gist of it.
Let's try it. First appearance which matters a lot. Look at that.
I mean look at that. Of course it's not going to be as edge to edge as they show but that looks
really good. You have the pin to install it on your shirt and it's really strong one actually.
Not some cheap type. And paint job is really sharp.
Tension grabbing which matters a lot. And then you have the buttons of the same color.
On off, Bluetooth and what is this for? For transfer. This is the type C for charging.
And let's turn it on then. It is taking power. Let's try turning it on.
It is turning on finally. Maybe I need to turn, tune down the lights.
Turn off. Let's turn off lights further.
And I think now it's better.
Triple tap. This button, this arrow button is changing brightness levels.
What? I am, I was trying to see how to increase its brightness, decrease it. I don't know.
But this is how it looks. And it is not giving, giving a charging indicator as well.
The brightness wise in the normal room light, I don't expect it to like work in sunlight,
direct sunlight but look at it. Looks, how good it looks. I mean if someone did not see
that it is an electronics device, you may not even judge that it is actually an electronics device
because image seems so seamless. It feels really high resolution.
And there are two pictures here and then rest for, for the rest I guess we will use
app and you can also transfer between two badges. If you need someone who have a badge,
you can just ask that person, give it to you. They have given those instructions as well.
I am unable to, just tap the screen to show the QR code. I am unable, oh there you are,
there is one. So, if I swipe down from the top, I do see a few things. This is
light, this is delete, this is work, this is what, this is oh, this is the brightness control.
One, two, three, yeah, this is the maximum brightness which is actually quite good.
We will test it out. So, can I, can I swipe it, swipe it. This is for light,
emergency light. How do I get it back? Okay, what is this? So, you can also turn off auto
sleep if you want the screen to always remain on. Let's do that for the testing purposes.
I need to find that QR code. Let's try finding it directly. It's called ebook,
e-goods actually, e-goods. This is the app. Let's install it.
Device not found. Let's press the Bluetooth button. Maybe I need to, okay, press any key.
Oh, now I, now I found the QR code. So, you need to press this Bluetooth button man,
single press and it shows up the QR code and then you can hopefully connect it.
Press any key to exit. Device connected successfully. So, do remember to press the
Bluetooth button and then it will show you the QR code and everything. Now, let's go,
it shows up that it is connected. We can do mark you, multiple images,
slideshow, animated GIF. Let's try animated GIF. Can I browse? Yeah, I mean,
don't ask me, give me something pre-built. That's weird. It is just
asking me to design everything for myself and not giving me anything out of the box.
I need to get something because I don't, I don't want to design these things. So,
let me find a way to get them from somewhere. All right. So, they, they don't give you anything
built in. So, I have downloaded some pictures of my, me and my kids and some from my favorite anime,
which is Eminence in the Shadows of the Shadow, Mr. Shadow. And then I'm just adding them. So,
app is bare bones, I would say, not that polished. Since I am a mobile developer myself,
I feel like I should go and then just polish it up. All right. So, I have selected this
playback and it shows how they will change. You can increase or decrease.
So, this is the highest speed. Let's, it's one image per two seconds. Let's do, go with that
and let's send it. It's transferring. Data transfer successful. And if things went well,
now we have the stickers here. And actually they look better in person than the camera is able to
capture them. Because I am looking into the camera screen and they wash, the camera is washing it
out. But in reality, the colors are really good. So, you don't feel the washed out feelings.
Personally, I feel like the camera is not doing justice. I think that at this angle,
it looks better because light reflection is not there. And see the pictures.
This is Mr. Shadow, me and my two sons, my two daughters and Mr. Shadow. Now,
one last thing that we should try is, I think, it has a GIF support as well. And I think that
would be so cool to try it out. So, give me a second and let me download some GIF.
I have downloaded a GIF and actually you can also send it to video. So, that's also good. Maybe we
should try that one as well. So, let's go to the, I haven't connected it. Let's connect it. Each
time you want to send it, you need to connect it first. Because once you're done, the Bluetooth
disconnects and probably because it wants to save battery. Let's go to animated GIF and you have the
option for video and GIF. Since I don't already downloaded GIF, so just let's select that one.
And let's see. Let's send it. Okay, it was sent. Let's try it quite quickly actually.
And let's see if I can increase the brightness. This is the maximum. So, it is a GIF that has
less brightness. Now, you have the GIF. So, now you have the GIF running as well, if that is what
you like. And I think this is one of the coolest gadgets out there, just for the sake of fun.
Right. You can do it and I'm not sure how much it would last, but you can take your,
I can take my shirt around and then plug it in. Let's see how it looks.
Cheat.
Like this.
Like this. Can I twist it more? Let's try.
Yeah, like this then. Now, it is back to original. What happened to the GIF?
Oh, everything remains in there. That's cool. Actually, I did not know. I thought
only one thing remained there. So, if I give it a swipe, now it is in the GIFs. But if I
swipe it again, the older picture that it had, swipe other way, GIF and these are the slideshow
pictures. So, you don't lose them. I don't know how much memory it has built in, but it's cool
that at least it keeps them in there without losing it. Anyway, I think this video has got
way longer, but I think it was worth it. It is fun little gadget and really liked it.
Anyway, let me know what are your thoughts as well. Guys, take care. Bye.
