Haha, I emailed you a while ago on this exact topic: The lack of videos/review on this cube. Your support was extremely nice and explained that the cube is fine.. it's just that you've been busy with other projects. My Freeplay is on the way so I'm excited to try it as well :)
I own the free play and yeah it's quite good. The price tag is a lot to swallow, I didn't have to pay that price for various reasons but if I had to I might actually do it just because it's literally the only smart cube on the market that feels like a flagship cube.
I got one of these recently, and it's definitely the best smart cube out there. People also say that it has magnetic encoders or something, so it's not as likely to start missing moves soon. And it doesn't even feel like a smart cube - it feels so normal. The battery life is amazing, I've done about a thousand solves on mine, and it's still at 65%.
I've been using the 12 UI (first generation, not the FreePlay) since January this year. It's great, but there are a few things to be aware of: The ballcore consits of two domes. If they fall apart, which they can if you pull too hard on opposing (fx. to gauge tension) and/or have a hard turning style. If this happens, the flanges holding the two domes together, may break. If that happens, only glue is a valid solution. Also, GAN still haven't gotten their CubeStation app stabilized properly, so expect a lot of disconnects and issues. Many features are also still missing. Finally, when you show off smart cubes, you may want to consider using tablets for the viewers' benefit. At home, I use an iPad Pro 12.9", which gives a nice large display - so my old eyes can easily see the scrambles ^_^
Great video!! However, it is so frustrating watching all these videos discussing smart cubes and smart cube apps and the reviewers always skipping over how these cubes and the app can help train and teach people new algorithms. Most reviewers are obviously experienced at solving the cube so I can see where they might not get a lot out of the app or the cube, but I would love to see how non-experienced cubers might use the app to help us learn and train more algs vs looking at a printout or spreadsheet (which is not intuitive or easy). For me personally, this app is the ONLY reason I was able to start to tackle advanced OLL and PLL algs, and it’s such an underrated topic that nobody discusses (and proves the worth of the cube for those wanting to get to sub 60, sub 30, sub 10). Just my opinion. Keep the great videos coming but don’t forget about us who are still learning! 😊
Man, you got me considering a factor why Smartcubes are good for new cubers. I normally wouldn't recommend it since they're still learning. But Smartcubes being a good learning tool could really tip the scales.
My biggest frustration with the smart cube experience is definitely the bots on multiplayer. I can understand they don't want people waiting for ages to matchmake, but the fact that every bot can't even get a sub 30 and you're waiting for ages every single solve makes it a really agonising experience. I don't get why they can't make the bots slightly slower than your global average or something, at least then it might be interesting rather than waiting for them to dnf every solve
agreed, and the matchmaking leveling up takes way too long + there's a cap of 200 rating per day which is annoying Without that I could easily be a lot higher ranking
(Not about the 12UI, but on the topic of MoYu's smart cube) I wish Gan's robot would have a firmware update to allow me to set it into an infinity mode that the MoYu's robot can do. I can't find a reason to get MoYu's robot, but that's the only reason why I want it so badly.
to be honest, I really liked the 12 ui but I then I got a icarry2 from my friend and I set it up with some dnm37 and some weight 2 and it felt so good, so personally I like the 356 icarry2 better.
The 12 is considered the best by most top cubers, hence why it's called a gan 12 ui, not 11 or 13 , but if you're going to buy it I would wait until gan drops the price like they did for the 11
I just went to my first competition, and i got a NR in 3x3 for new competitors. i normally average 12-13 seconds, but i got an average of 10.59 and a single of 9.72. I also sat at the same table as Tymon
i bought the gan i carry before and the turning was good but not as good as a main cube which stopped me from using it very much but the gan 12 ui solves this problem
@sassine3 little late on the feedback. I bought it from Amazon on Prime Day when it was on sale for only $45. I love it and it turns just as good as my old main, which was the gan 11 m pro.
hello i am sorry that i am going to be roud ,we need the orange side cubicle custom lubes and cubes . Its been 2 years since the video plz , do somthing .
Can I get a sponsor from TheCubicle in first competition, please. I can't show you my WCA account because I have not been in a competition before but I have 700+ sub. and I'm sub-20s on 3x3.
Why Am I So I Hyped? I Cant Even Afford It...
Relatable... But I Can afford it, but I'm not spending my savings on Gan when I have a tv3

Even though I'm not a small child I have the Mini and love it. It's undoubtedly by far the best smart cube I've tried and well worth the money imo.

This cube is literally a gan 12 with a chip

Nice review! 😊
Only half way through video but would be cool if there was an algorithm section of the app to learn OLL and PLL algs
There is
GAN 12 Ui feels somewhere between GAN 11m Pro UV and GAN 12m Leap！
when do you guys stream? great videos btw and when does the best speedcubes 2023 come out?
Every monday, wednesday and friday at 9Am Est
Anyone has recommended setting for this cube? (Center travel, tension, magnet strength, lube)?
Is there a change method button?

@@HiddenLambSaucethe 11 is arguably better than the 13. Especially the value for money aspect.
subjective to personal preferences, but most top cubers sponsored by gan use the 12

Will you please make a video on GAN 356 Me.

when is the Gan I Carry 2 coming out?
am i the only one who notices that phil always try new cubes with R' R2 U2' U2' R' (R U U' R' R2 U2' U2' R2') and the parenthesis repeats indefinitely
I noticed it too.
Wishe timer do you use to solve on iphone?
Maybe GAN will release a Gan 13 ui freeplay
I am looking to buy the gan i3 smart cube but heard better stuff about this cube. Is it worth the upgrade even though it's a bit over my budget?
yeah i was gonna get the i3 but gonna get this even though its a bit more expensive
i bought the gan i carry before and the turning was good but not as good as a main cube which stopped me from using it very much but the gan 12 ui solves this problem

Okay Im super confused. Isnt the 14 their newest flagship? Or is this different due to the computer connection?
This is a smart cube which you are not allowed to use in comps
Hi cubicle.
Could you tell me stackmat g4 or g5?
I am going to buy this month help me please.😅
Which one did you get?
Bro what s the strength of magnets in wrm v9 maglev
Question: Is 12 UI Freeplay a Maglev cube or does it have springs?
Since they are based on the gan 12 maglev, i think so
They also have core mgs
@@mewtu5817it's springs bro
@@mewtu5817not, the ui series doesn't have maglev, its only spring
