Save the date: HMD’s Barbie phone will be unveiled on August 28 | Infinium-tech
We’ve known for quite some time that HMD is working on a Barbie-branded phone. It seems the original timeline had to be pushed back a month, but now it’s official – the Barbie phone is coming on August 28.
In February, the company planned to launch several phones in July, including a pink phone. The Skyline and Crest models arrived this month (assuming that was the original plan for them), while the Barbie is arriving fashionably late.
A look at the HMD x Mattel Barbie phone
We don’t know much about the Barbie phone – it will be a flip phone, which suggests it will run on the S30+ or KaiOS. This matches what HMD has said about it, pitching it as a “digital detox” phone that won’t let you doomscroll on social media.
Of course, the company is also working on a detox mode for the Skyline, so that’s one of its calling cards. However, Android-powered flip phones (the non-folding variety) are extremely rare, so we expect something similar to the Nokia 2780 Flip.
The image of the phone shared on X shows that the Barbie phone is very, very pink – a colour that has become something of a signature for HMD after its Neon Pink Skyline garnered so much attention.
