HMD announces the Barbie phone | Infinium-tech

After months of teasers, HMD has finally announced its Barbie-themed flip phone. The device is more or less a gamified version of the Nokia 2660 Flip, but with a number of software changes as well as a major styling update.

As you’d expect from a collaboration, pink plays a big theme. The phone comes with a pink removable 1,450 mAh battery, a pink USB-C cable, a color-matched polishing cloth, and a few more accessories. These include two replaceable back covers, a beaded phone strap, attachable phone charms, and Barbie stickers.

The HMD Barbie phone has a 2.8-inch main screen and a 1.77-inch cover screen. It is powered by the Unisoc T107 chipset with 64MB of RAM and 128MB of storage that can be expanded up to 32GB via a microSD card slot. It has a single VGA (0.3MP) camera, 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, though the US variant will run on KaiOS instead. HMD has enhanced the customisation in the phone’s UI with custom Barbie icons, wallpapers and ringtones. The Barbie phone also gets digital wellbeing tips, the Barbie meditation app and self-care reminders.
