Expert’s Rating

Pros

  • Fun design and accessories

  • Okay battery life

Cons

  • Poor camera, even worse for selfies

  • Tough keypad and text handling

  • Weak screen

  • Not much else of interest

Our Verdict

Who is the HMD Barbie Phone for? It’s too cluttered for a relaxing feature phone, not to mention a bit too expensive. And it’s too late to ride the Barbie movie wave. It lacks features that make it good as a mobile for kids, and it grossly misses out on both camera and sound quality for all of us. The only thing that gets a thumbs up is the battery life, but even that isn’t great.

As a bearded, 47-year-old, fat bloke who dresses like a 90s grunge troll and likes geeky technology, hockey, beer and rock, I don’t think HMD’s new phone is really meant for me. It’s called Barbie Phone and it’s been released in partnership with the Barbie brand owner Mattel.
