HMD has teamed up with Mattel for a Barbie Phone. The HMD Barbie Phone is a basic flip phone offering a simple, Barbie-themed interface (based on KaiOS). A number of Barbie-themed accessories are included, such as two extra back covers with different designs, a beaded lanyard with attachable charms, stickers for decorating the phone, and a pink charger. The phone itself includes a 5 megapixel camera with flash, memory card slot, MP3 player, and a 1,450 mAh (pink) battery. A Snake game is included, which has been re-themed for Barbie with watermelons. It has excellent support for Verizon and T-Mobile 4G networks, and decent support for AT&T's 4G network. It will sell for $129 unlocked from HMD. Pre-orders begin Sept. 23, with full availability Oct. 1.
