HMD has officially announced the Barbie Phone, a push-button flip phone with basic functions designed for those who want to temporarily “take a break” from modern smartphones. This stylish phone will go on sale in October and will cost $129, which is not bad for a device of this level.
Barbie Phone runs on the S30+ platform, supports 4G LTE networks, has 128 MB of internal memory and a slot for microSD cards up to 32 GB. The phone is equipped with two screens: the main 2.8-inch and the external 1.77-inch. Also included in the package are a Bluetooth 5.0 module, a USB Type-C port, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a modest VGA camera with flash. The device supports two SIM cards, and the 1450 mAh battery provides up to 9 hours of talk time.
The S30+ platform does not support the installation of third-party applications, which makes the Barbie Phone an ideal choice for those who want to limit themselves to calls and SMS only. In addition, the phone includes a reworked classic game "Snake", which emphasizes its retro style.
The phone comes with additional interchangeable back covers, jewelry, stickers and self-adhesive "stones". Pre-orders for the HMD Barbie Phone will begin on September 23, and it will go on sale on October 1 for $129.
