The device allows users to make calls and send texts, but gives no access to social media.
HMD Global, which makes Nokia-branded phones, has teamed up with toymaker Mattel to launch the HMD Barbie Phone - a pint-sized pink feature flip phone with a retro design.
The phone, priced at £99 , is available from Aug 27. The device allows users to make calls and send texts, but gives no access to social media applications. The launch coincides with the Barbie doll’s 65th birthday in 2024 and follows the success of the hit movie Barbie starring Margot Robbie, which grossed US$1.4 billion at the global box office.
