Hi Barbie! Is that a new phone…?

It’s finally here – the HMD Barbie Phone. This flip phone is pink, chic, and most importantly, it’s for everybody.

Whether you’re a fashion-forward trendsetter, a mobile tech enthusiast looking for an occasional digital detox, or someone just craving the simple joys of a phone call and a game of Snake, this phone is for you. Young or old, Barbie or Ken, this flip phone really can fit into anyone’s life – and their wardrobe.

Ready for some fun? Let’s dive into the five reasons why the HMD Barbie Phone fits into anyone’s pocket, no matter who you are.

1. Disconnect to reconnect

At the top of the list is the heart of what the HMD Barbie Phone is all about – making real time for real friends and family. It’s not here to replace your smartphone – readers of the blog will know that we’re all about digital life balance here at HMD.

An occasional digital detox helps us feel reconnected with everyday life, whether that’s for a whole weekend, or just during the time it takes to catch up over coffee. Access to social media and email is great – but probably not needed 24/7. So, when it’s time to meet up for a chat, the HMD Barbie Phone is a perfect way to take a break from social media – and look great while doing it.

2. It will make you smile!

On the HMD Barbie Phone, you can send texts, make calls, play Snake (more on that later!), and do just about everything else you would expect to do on a feature phone. The HMD Barbie Phone is no toy – but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with it. The whole operating system looks like it’s straight out of The Barbie DreamHouse™ with sounds and icons that have that unmistakable Barbie vibe. There are even a few Easter eggs for you to discover. Watch this space – we might give you some clues in the future. 😉

3. Pink is in

Almost everyone seems to be making full use of this vibrant, playful color in their wardrobes nowadays. Run a search for “Barbiecore” and see for yourself. While the HMD Barbie Phone effortlessly pairs with those kinds of stand-out styles, it’s also a perfect addition to an outfit that favors dark or muted colors. For example, a pop of pink contrasts nicely against shades of black, brown, and blue.

4. Customize it to fit your look

With all sorts of jobs and styles in her repertoire, Barbie sets trends and empowers you to do your own thing. The HMD Barbie Phone embodies this with its changeable covers, stickers, crystals, and a beaded lanyard – all included with the phone. So, the HMD Barbie Phone can adapt to a whole range of styles – just like Barbie herself.

5. Snake, but not as you know it.

Feature phones and Snake. They’re like two peas in a pod, and we were thrilled to bring you the classic mobile game on HMD 105 and HMD 110 phones. Well, now it’s back on the HMD Barbie Phone – with a twist. Malibu Snake is the game you know and love, but with a pink makeover. Not only will fans of the classic feel right and home, but its appearance on the HMD Barbie Phone means that Snake is poised to reach a whole new generation.

Live your dream life

Whether you're looking to embrace a little nostalgia, add a stylish accessory to your outfit, or simply take a break from social media, the HMD Barbie Phone has something to offer everyone. Its charm lies not just in its playful appearance, but in its ability to help you reconnect with what really matters — friends, family, or just a moment to yourself. So why not flip the script on your smartphone routine? With this fun, easy-to-use, and utterly chic flip phone, you can stay connected while keeping life simple and full of joy.
