Barbie foldable phone launched.. Here are its specifications and price

Nokia-branded phone maker HMD Global has teamed up with toymaker Mattel to launch the HMD Barbie, a pink, compact flip phone with a classic design and a few smartphone features.

Specifications and price of the “Barbie” phone HMD Global has launched the Barbie phone, priced at £99 ($131.24), to coincide with Barbie's 65th birthday.

The device allows users to make calls and send text messages, but does not provide access to social media applications. Its screen is small at 2.8 inches, and texting using T9 technology will be more difficult.

The phone is equipped with a 5-megapixel camera with a built-in flash, which, the company notes, is ideal for getting that early digital camera look that's now common.

Barbie phone launched to coincide with movie success This comes after the success of last year's Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie, which grossed $1.4 billion at the global box office.

Research firm CCS Insights estimates that HMD could sell more than 400,000 Barbie phones in the UK, where they are available through Vodafone and Argos.

Finland's HMD, backed by Alphabet Inc's Google and Qualcomm, has launched a number of classic phones with few smartphone features, including re-releases of classic Nokia phones like the 3210 and 3310.
