HMD Barbie Phone, a hot pink basic flip phone with barely any features will be available for preorder on September 23 and an official launch date on October 1st.
Riding on the Barbie craze from last summer, HMD will be releasing a Barbie-themed flip phone. One of the phone’s taglines is that it wants to give users a ‘vacay’ away from their smartphone. This rings true as the HMD Barbie phone comes with very basic features such as texting and calling and a camera that comes with a built-in flash. Besides that, the flip phone comes with no other apps.
It certainly drives the point of it being a vacation away from the modern-day smartphone with tons of apps installed. The pink phone wants to serve its purpose by removing all distracting apps and disconnecting from the current digital maze.
HMD Barbie Phone: Everything that the pink flip phone offers
The HMD Barbie Phone is mainly just for aesthetic purposes and it gets the job done. The flip phone format acts like a throwback to the early 2000s. The design is sleek and chic and most importantly, it is pink- an iconic attribute of Barbie.
The phone weighs only 0.3 lbs and measures to be around 4.48 inches in height and 2.28 inches in width. It features a USB Type-C charging port and a battery of 1450 mAh1. The internal storage capacity is a mere 4 GB but an additional microSD car can support up to 32 GB.
The Barbie DreamHouse comes with two additional back covers with fun designs. Attachable charms and beaded lanyards also come along with the phone. Other customisable features include stickers and gems for the users to stick to their phones. All of these come in a pink jewellery box instead of a standard phone box.
The phone’s 5-megapixel camera comes with a built-in flash. Although the camera itself is not much to brag about, it goes perfectly in trend with the digital camera aesthetic that has been making its rounds across social media platforms. The back of the phone also has an external display with a mirror.
