Pink Dream in Memory: HMD Barbie Phone, Revisiting Classics, Rekindling Childhood

A "memory" in many people's mobile phone history, Nokia phones faded from public view after Nokia reached a brand licensing agreement with HMD in 2016. Recently, HMD has launched a new model called HMD Barbie Phone, which has attracted considerable attention in the market with its unique pink exterior and rich Barbie-themed elements.

Based on the classic Nokia 2660 Flip model, the HMD Barbie Phone seamlessly blends Nokia's classic elements with Barbie themes, offering a fresh choice for consumers who love both Nokia and Barbie dolls. The phone is designed with a pink body, and the package includes Barbie-themed stickers, pink data cable and battery, three printed pink back shells, beaded lanyard, pendant, etc., full of girlish charm.

The HMD Barbie Phone is also full of clever details. Every key hides silhouettes of flamingos, hearts, and palm trees, and comes with key backlight for easy operation at night. The phone menu is presented in Barbie style, and there are also multiple "Easter egg password books" that can "unlock hidden Easter eggs" by using specific key combinations. Additionally, the phone comes pre-installed with a customized Barbie-style Snake game, allowing you to relive the fun of classic games.

In terms of configuration, the HMD Barbie Phone measures 1085518.9 millimeters and weighs 123 grams. It features a 2.8-inch LCD inner screen with a resolution of 240320 and a 1.77-inch LCD outer screen with a resolution of 128160. Powered by the Unisoc T107 chipset from Unisoc, it provides 4MB of RAM and 128MB of storage, expandable to 32GB via microSD card. It is equipped with a 1450mAh battery and uses a USB-C charging port.

The HMD Barbie Phone retains a 3.5mm headphone jack and supports 4G dual SIM dual standby, VoLTE calling and Bluetooth 5.0. In addition to features such as a flashlight, radio, calculator, voice recorder, alarm clock, calendar, and stopwatch, it also provides digital health tips, meditation, and self-care reminders. For the Chinese mainland version, HMD has pre-installed Alipay, Himalaya, and Migu Music, and it supports Alipay QR code functionality similar to smartwatches.

It's worth noting that the phone does not include a charger adapter (the first 1500 pre-orders will receive a pink custom charger adapter), and users are required to purchase it separately.

Overall, the HMD Barbie Phone focuses on reminiscing about classics. In today's rapidly developing smartphone market, some of its core configurations are indeed outdated. However, according to the promotional statement on the purchase page, it can be used as a student phone or a senior phone. Of course, if you love both Nokia and Barbie, this phone will be a great choice.

The launch of the HMD Barbie Phone undoubtedly marks a perfect fusion of classic Nokia elements and modern trendy elements. It not only provides a new option for consumers who love Nokia and Barbie, but also offers an opportunity for those who want to revisit classics and recapture their childhood. The appearance of this phone may evoke memories of beautiful things in our hearts, allowing us to feel a sense of purity and joy even in an era of rapid technological development.
