First look: New Barbie-inspired flip phone released by HMD

Human Mobile Devices has partnered with Mattel to create the new HMD Barbie Phone, bringing a burst of nostalgia and a “splash of glam” to everyday life in the form of a retro flip device.

HMD was best known for releasing handsets under the Nokia brand and has released a new “pink, chic, and sleek” device.

The phone has got a mirror on the front and is described as the “perfect tool to take a vacation from your smartphone” as it has no social media apps.

It also comes with two alternative cases: the brightly coloured swirls of the 1992’s iconic Totally Hair Barbie doll and a vintage “shooting heart” design.
