After months of teasing, HMD has finally announced its Barbie-themed flip phone. The device is more or less a playful version of the Nokia 2660 Flip, but it features several software tweaks as well as a major aesthetic makeover.
As you might expect from a collaboration, pink plays a big role. The phone comes with a removable pink 1,450mAh battery, a pink USB-C cable, a color-coordinated cleaning cloth, and a few other accessories. These include two replaceable back covers, a pearl phone strap, attachable phone charms, and Barbie stickers.
The HMD Barbie phone features a 2.8-inch main display and a 1.77-inch cover display. It is powered by a Unisoc T107 chipset with 64MB of RAM and 128MB of storage expandable up to 32GB via the microSD card slot. It packs a single VGA camera (0.3MP), Bluetooth 5 connectivity, a headphone jack, and a USB-C port for charging and data transfer.
The software side is covered by the S30+ operating system in most markets, although the US version will run on KaiOS. HMD has extended the customization to the phone's UI with custom Barbie icons, wallpapers, and ringtones. The Barbie phone also gets a digital wellness board, Barbie Meditation app, and self-care reminders.
The HMD Barbie phone is priced at $129/€129/£99 and it's on sale today in most countries around the world, while the US version will be released in October.
