Come on Barbie (Phone), Let's go Party
HMD has officially launched its Barbie Dream phone, and it is a Barbie fan's dream.
HMD launched its brand with a splash at Mobile World Congress this year by announcing a collaboration with Mattel for a Barbie phone. There wasn't a huge amount of information announced at the time, but there is now.
The new HMD Barbie phone is very bright pink retro flip phone. It's not a smartphone, instead taking us back to simpler times when phones were made for making calls, sending SMS and playing Snake.
Designed in close collaboration with the in-house design team at Mattel, the phone screams Barbie. It comes with two alternative cases so you can customise your Barbie phone like you change your Barbie's outfit. In the box comes a bright, swirly coloured case that reflects the 1992 "Totally Hair Barbie" design, plus a retro-style shooting heart design.
