The Barbie phone is a 'digital detox device' that celebrates the doll's 65th birthday

HMD and Mattel have teamed up to launch a limited edition Barbie phone, and it's out this October

HMD, which owns Nokia, is smartly pitching the Barbie phone as a digital detox device, allowing you to “take a vacation from your smartphone”. The phone comes with various accessories, including changeable battery covers, stickers, charms, and stick-on gems, and it’ll work on all three major US wireless networks. For those fully invested in the smartphone world and want the very best camera, performance, AI features and more, Apple’s iPhone 16 launch event is September 9, where we’ll see everything the Cupertino-based company has in store.
