  • HMD has revealed that it will launch a Barbie-branded flip phone later this year.
  • This will be a feature phone rather than a full-fledged Android device.
  • The manufacturer also outlined plans for a more customizable smartphone with interchangeable rear covers.

HMD announced late last year that it would launch its own branded phones in 2024 after solely offering Nokia phones. Now, the company has used MWC 2024 to reveal plans for a rather different flip phone.

The smartphone manufacturer confirmed plans to launch a Barbie-branded flip phone in July 2024. This will be a feature phone rather than an Android phone. HMD hasn’t revealed the phone’s operating system (or other specs), but the company has previously used the KaiOS platform for several feature phones.
