Created in collaboration with Mattel’s design team, the new HMD Barbie Phone is reminiscent of the original, vintage-chic Barbie universe, but with a modern twist. It’s a tribute to one of the most iconic and enduring toys. While it’s clearly a Barbie phone, it also offers plenty of opportunities for personalization.
Covers and other accessories
The phone comes with a hot pink Barbie cover and two interchangeable back covers: the colorful swirls from the 1992 Totally Hair Barbie and a vintage “shooting heart” motif. It’s like having a new phone every day, to match your mood and outfit. It also comes with a set of crystals and retro Barbie stickers, including flowers, flamingos and rainbows, to personalize it. You also get a pastel beaded strap in pink, yellow and blue. The strap is decorated with charms inspired by iconic Barbie looks, including a 1959 mini-sunglasses, a Malibu roller skate, a palm tree, an ice cream cone and a heart with a “B.” All come in a jewelry box featuring the Barbie and HMD logos.
Surprises
The phone has a bespoke user interface with Barbie wallpapers and app icons, and offers support for digital wellbeing with features such as ‘Digital Balance Tips’, ‘Barbie Meditation’ and ‘Self-Care Reminders’ in settings. The sounds and alarms are relaxing, with ringtones including ‘Floating’, ‘Coastal’, ‘DreamHouse™’, ‘Azure Barbie’ and ‘Surf Chimes’. There are also hidden easter eggs with important Barbie dates and words. For example, try dialling *#227243# to see what happens.
Hi Barbie!
The 0.3MP camera with flashlight delivers authentic Y2K-style photos, a popular trend among Gen Z who love classic phones and vintage cameras. The camera comes with a Barbie camera frame for your photos. The battery provides up to nine hours of talk time.
When you open the phone, the screen looks like it came straight out of the DreamHouse. You hear the familiar start-up sound “Hi Barbie!” and can see a missed call from Ken, who you can add to your contacts. The Barbie-style user interface is easy to use. The device also comes with the Malibu Snake game, in which apples are replaced by watermelons – a fun distraction for this summer. But don’t forget to take a screen break every now and then!
