The Barbie Flip Phone is a traditional cell phone, but it has all the style of the most beautiful doll in history.
While It would have been interesting if they had released it along with the movie. a year ago to ensure crazy sales, a Barbie phone would sell well anyway. That’s why HMD doesn’t worry and introduced the Barbie Flip Phone in 2024.
It is a traditional clamshell format mobile phonebased specifically on the Nokia 2660 Flip. Some may not like this idea, but to us it seems like a great decision. First of all because remember the cell phones Barbie has used for decades as an accessory, in their movies and even in toy cell phones sold by Mattel; secondly because it allows us to offer a very cheap and accessible device to children, or as a curious collector’s item.
Being a “dumb” phone, it does not have access to social networks like Instagram or messaging services like WhatsApp. Only It is used to make calls, send SMS, play the classic Snake (in a special version), uses a Barbie meditation app and little else. Its operating system is HMD’s S30+.
Your drawing of course it has pink as its main color and all the keys have some icon that reminds us of the doll. In addition, it is a fairly small cell phone, since when closed it measures only 108.4 x 55.1 x 18.9 mm.
Their screens are LCD in both cases, although the internal one is 2.8” with QVGA resolution and the external one is 1.77” with QQVGA resolution. By the way, The Barbie Flip Phone has 4G connectivity and FM radio. It can also be used to play MP3 music and its outer casing works like a mirror. Its camera is a very simple 0.03MP VGA sensor..
Being a traditional mobile phone, it does not have or need much power. Therefore, its internal hardware is a Snapdragon 215, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage (expandable up to 32 GB with microSD). Its removable battery is 1450 mAhwith a 9-hour call battery life so you can never stop talking to your friends.
