HMD Barbie | Flip | Unlocked | KaiOS | Power Pink | US Version

This phone is now my daily use phone. It replaced my Samsung Galaxy S24. I only had eSim in my S24 though T-Mobile, so I went into the store to get a physical Sim card, which they installed for me. I turned on the phone and made a call and it worked perfectly, loud and clear! I forgot how much I had missed the shape of flip phones while I am on a call. They just make sense ergonomically. The phone itself is great. Startup is cute, it says "Hi Barbie" at the loadup screen. It's pretty customizable. I set up my speed dial contacts, set up a quick call contact (my husband) for the action button below the volume bar, and I ordered an SD card to add music. On KaiOS, there is an app store. PodLP is available to listen to podcasts. I subscribed to a few of my favorites already. Then you can access FM radio via wired headphones, which will be good for the gym if I get bored of my own music. The grip is good in the hands. Of course, it will take getting used to, since we are all predisposed to heavy rectangles. This is lightweight and beautiful. It did slip out of my hands at one point when I was being careless, and (just like in the old Nokia days) the back fell off and battery fell out. The thing is, I prefer that to a massive glass shatter on a 1200 dollar phone. It comes with 3 cases for the back. The cases feel slippery and plasticky, but durable. I feel that the phone is well protected. The battery lasts all day no problem, even though I have been tinkering around on it downloading apps and playing games (new phones always get a lot of attention in their first few weeks am I right?) but it holds up! I could see it easily lasting closer to 3 or 4 days if I don't do all that. I will very likely come and update this review after a month or so of use. I put some stickers on the mirror side of the phone. I made sure that they didn't block the time and notification display. I also added the little beaded strap and swirly back case. It's definitely eye-catching! You know, it's interesting enough to see someone unironically using a flip phone these days, so one this adorable is bound to get comments. My husband called while I was checking out at Trader Joe's and the cashier said "IS THAT A FLIP PHONE?!" She was so excited to see it and when I told her it was actually Barbie themed she was very interested. So many questions like "How do you not have a smart phone, isn't it so hard?" etc. I did grow up in the 80's and 90's so it wasn't a difficult adjustment since I already know how to type, navigate, and speed dial on these phones. But it is freeing to go to the park with my daughter and really experience the moments. Not get a notification for TikTok or YT or a facebook comment and feel that urge to check it. Once you check that notification, you're bound to check something else, and so on and so on... until all your kid knows is you've got your face stuck to your phone again while she plays alone. Not anymore. Come on, Barbie. Let's go party! Lets get back to a basic phone with perks like Google Maps and Podcasts, and say no to constant social media and content connection. We aren't built for that! Side note, I also got a cute little screen free camera (won't say the brand here but it's to SNAP photos at CAMP let's just say.) Between the screen free camera and the flip phone I am LOVING life. And actually living it.

Aaahhhh! I love my Barbie flip phone. So pink, so girly, so Y2K, so nostalgic! Everything listed is included. I wasted no time setting up and adding service and the battery life is amazing; 3 days no charge with minimal use. It’s equipped with Google Maps, games, an FM radio and you can even send MMS (picture messages). Fits perfectly into my regular pants pocket for ease of taking it everywhere with me. Easy to grip and the quality is impressive. I’ve dropped it already and there were no cracks or scratches to the mirror. Minor scuffs that I was able to wipe away with an alcohol pad but that’s it. I’d definitely recommend getting this phone for a break away from social media.

get this phone . I received no scam texts or calls. I am on my phone 90 percent less than on an iphone . NO VOICEMAILS scams. No AI. Regular phone doing regular things. My level of awareness has gone up and now everyone looks like zombies on their phones literally . It is really cute and easy to use. Brings back memories when of the razor. It larger numbers on the phone and it is not as strong but used a brick iphone. Photos are okay but it is nice nothing goes to the cloud and it goes to the SD Micro Card. You will need a nano Mirco chip from your iphone /galaxy. Make sure its the right chip for your phone for example 5g phone needs 5g chip . you can interswapped phone if its Apple 14 or less. Esim you need to get a chip and they dont make it easy to switch btw if you don't have a local store.

It is adorable and it works great with my iPhone 13 from mobile. The sim goes right in and it sends and receives calls that sound clear. It has a nice size and fits in my hand perfectly. It is a great value at just $100 for a cute phone that is both novel and durable. The case seems like it will keep the phone safe and it will last for a while. The compatibility with tmobile was a huge plus for me. I am glad I went ahead and bought it for myself. My iPhone was broken way beyond repair and I really was tired of spending too much time on my phone/online. This is a perfect way to go ghost on everyone because it is not that convientent to fire off a bunch of texts. As someone who overshares, this is ideal for me lol. The grip is good and I have not dropped it...yet* so I can not speak to the durability per se, I can just say it seems to be built well.

I bought the HMD Barbie Phone mostly for fun—and it absolutely delivers! It’s cute, quirky, and does the basics well enough. The “Hi, Barbie!” startup greeting always brings a smile. The pink mirror finish feels magical, and the included charms, lanyard, stickers, and extra backplates make the unboxing feel like opening a jewelry box . ** What I Love:** Stylish design & charming extras: Barbie-themed packaging, glittery stickers, and a mirror-front finish—totally Instagram-worthy . Solid for everyday basics: Simple calling and texting work great. Audio is clear, and the interface feels intuitive enough for what it is . Long battery life & USB‑C: Battery lasts several days if you're not browsing often. And yes, the charging cable is pink—adorable detail . ** Things to Be Aware Of:** Camera ≠ smartphone quality: The camera is very low resolution—more for novelty than real use. Selfies are best taken with the timer using the mirror lid . Typing is old-school T9: Texting takes patience—entering passwords or long messages via the numeric keypad can be tedious . Usability quirks: The browser and calendar can be glitchy and slow. Plus, the mirror cover smudges easily if you’re not careful . Camera and display are basic: Expect a simple, low-res screen and performance that aligns with a nostalgic feature phone, not a modern device . (DoNot work with boost mobile) (YESS straight talk, Verizon T-Mobile)

I have been wanting to go to a feature phone for awhile, but I wanted it to be cute! I bought this one once I was ready, put in my sim card... And found out I couldn't receive group texts. I have ATT and it could receive regular texts, send group texts, and make calls... Just not receive group texts. I found out that it's due to RCS messaging so I turned it off on my Google account and Samsung. There was this website to have it shut off if you don't have a device - none of it helped. This video said you could try deleting group chat names... I don't think you actually can delete them? Change, yes. Delete, no. Anyways, none of that worked. On a whim, I grabbed a 7 day trial of mint mobile and popped in this new sim card with a new number unaffiliated with RCS and it worked! I was considering changing my number anyways so it will work out .. probably. The phone feels great. The outer material is a plastic with a mirror on one side of the casing. They send little jewels and stickers to decorate your phone with, but it is already pretty cute before that. You can see just hints of Barbie stuff under the keypad and it's so cute! If you used a flip phone at some point in life then it will come right back to you. It does feel pretty durable. Battery life is amazing and lasts for a few days. Sound quality is also really good and I kind of wasn't holding too much hope for that. It's easy to set up and easy to manage through the buttons. There's a besties button that you can make into a shortcut. My shortcut was text messages. The snake game is different than the old snake and better. There are goals and time limits. It moves a lot easier than it used to. When you turn it on, it says "Hi, Barbie!". It has some cute wallpapers, including one from Barbie and the Rockers. Ringtones are cute and a few are Barbie themed like "dream house". The notification sounds are a bit more generic, but not bad options and nothing too obnoxious. All in all $100 for this phone was a great deal! Whether in between smart phones or wanting to take a break this is a solid choice that's pretty cute.

Cute little phone and perfect for getting "unplugged" from my smartphone. It's compact, cute, and functional. It has little games like gems or snake which are fun to pass time but aren't so addicting that you waste a lot of time on them. It also has a headphone jack and space for a SIM card, so I just bought some MP3's of songs I liked and imported them so I had a little something to listen to. Texting is a pain, but the predictive texting isn't too bad. Overall it was a good value for the $100 that I paid for it and it did help me to unplug for the amount of time I used it. I did eventually switch back to my smartphone, but it's good for smaller spurts of time to get you out of the habit of constantly checking your phone. Would recommend.

If you want a flip phone this one is a great option. The bonus to having this flip phone in its basic nature is that it does have google maps on it; so that’s a helpful option that isn’t in many basic phone options. It does not have an Apple Store it will be the Kios one and as a person who doesn’t need apps having the option is nice, the quality of those apps would have to be up to people who use them regularly. The rings have Barbie themes in them which is cute, along with Barbie health tips on detoxing. No cute Ken message that some people mentioned, but that might only be on the international versions. So make sure you buy for the right region. It does not have T9 text messaging, it does have something similar with ABC predict which you will have to scroll over to find the right word. It slows down your ability to text if you have mastered T9, but once you learn it I’m sure you be fast like you were with the other method. It does have emojis and the ability to receive those and send pics without downloading data like some make you do. I have prepaid Verizon on it, and it worked right away. My SIM card didn’t fit quite right and to save time and money I shaved one side, the plastic part, and it fit just fine. It has clear voice and better reception from my old flip phone. The other pink cases you can switch out is very nice in design. The hot pink reminds me of the Barbie convertible car and the soft plastic feels like Barbie’s Mattel toys would feel like. It gives me the childlike joy of getting a Barbie from my grandmother every year, so it adds that sentimental feeling when picking it up. The only true complaint I would have is the reflective mirror on the top case. I was never a person who liked to check my face often so that isn’t a useful feature to me. I find it distracting when light catches it. I just wished it gave me an option to switch out the top case because of that. I will just put a vinyl over it but that’s me fixing it to my preference. As a consumer the downfall would be lack of Bluetooth. Outside of that I see it as a good starter phone, detox phone, senior phone, or anyone who just doesn’t want a smart phone.

Loved it.. thank you so much...

If youre a Barbie girl in a Barbie world, this phone is for you. The box, and everything in it is aesthetically gorgeous. The charging cord is the cutest pink cport. And the phone itself is functional, fun and comes with a cuteee bracelet and 2 cases. Get the phone bestie
