After launching HMD Skyline and HMD Crest Smartphone Series, the company has announced the third launch which will be different from the other two launches. HMD will launch the Barbie Flip phone next month. HMD Barbie Flip phone will go official on the 28th of August in global markets.

HMD Barbie Flip Phone: Details
HMD Barbie Flip Phone is expected to run S30+ or KaiOS and is said to be a traditional feature flip device and not a modern smartphone with access to social media apps. This falls in line with HMD’s digital detox trend. The teaser image shows not much on the outside of the device. It might have a display inside and a keypad at the bottom.
The other specs of the device will surface online as the launch date gets closer. Also, it isn’t clear if the Barbie Flip phone will come to India or not but since HMD has been selling Nokia devices in the country and plans to bring new phones as well, the Barbie Flip phone might just arrive in India as well.

In India, brands like Motorola, Samsung, Vivo, Oppo, and more have already launched flip phones, but all those are flip smartphones. Barbie HMD Flip phone will most likely focus on budget-conscious consumers.
Apart from the Barbie Flip Phone, HMD recently launched the Crest Series of smartphones in India. HMD Crest and HMD Crest MAX debuted in India with features apt for budget smartphone users. These phones also come with a self-repairability feature.
