As a 90’s kid who grew up with Barbie dolls and their dreamy lifestyle, the announcement of the Barbie phone has sent me right back to my childhood. The nostalgia is real! I remember those days when flip phones were the coolest things on the block, and now, here comes Barbie with her own version in hot pink.
2023 saw Barbie as the summer’s hottest icon, thanks to a blockbuster movie that raked in billions. Yet, her influence extends far beyond a fleeting pop culture moment. Since 1959, Barbie has been making waves and showing no signs of slowing down, with her branded products taking over the market. Even though you might not own her iconic hot pink car or lavish Dream House, there’s now an opportunity to get a piece of Barbie’s world – a real-life flip phone in authentic Barbie pink! As reported by The Verge, the HMD Barbie phone will hit the shelves at $129 this October. Check out the first images below:
This retro Barbie phone harks back to a time when smartphones were unheard of. It boasts a compact, 2.8-inch screen and limited connectivity, ideal for calls and texts only. Immerse yourself in the nostalgia of being Barbie or Elle Woods from “Legally Blonde”, back in 2002. HMD asserts that this throwback flip phone allows users to escape their modern smartphones. While it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, if you’re keen on such a digital detox, why not do it in style, with a touch of Mattel charm. The device also boasts a 5-megapixel camera equipped with a flash, ensuring your pictures capture the essence of a summer vacation from the early 2000s.
The brand-new Barbie Phone includes two additional battery covers styled like Barbie, along with an external mirror display. A beaded lanyard, embellished with adorable charms and customizable with stickers and gemstones, is also included. To make it more exciting, the classic Snake game has been transformed into a Barbie version. This phone comes packaged in a chic hot-pink jewelry box. Compatible with all major US wireless networks, the HMD Barbie Phone can be preordered starting September 23, and will begin shipping on October 1st. But keep it under wraps from Ken; he’d probably try to turn it into a competition between them!
