HMD Barbie flip phone on the way: Spotted on certification website, hints on design and specifications

First unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona in February, the highly anticipated HMD Barbie flip phone is inching closer to its official launch. Ahead of its debut on August 28, the device was reportedly spotted on a Chinese certification website, revealing key details about its design and specifications.

The listing on China’s TENAA database with model number TA-1681 confirms the rumors of a clamshell design reminiscent of classic Nokia models. As expected, the device will feature a two-tone pink color scheme that takes on the iconic Barbie aesthetic.

Alleged images accompanying the listing show volume and power buttons on the right rear, a 3.5mm headphone jack and charging port on the left, and the prominent “Barbie” branding on the front, as HMD had previously hinted at.

The Barbie Flip Phone is said to have two displays: a 2.8-inch TFT main screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and a 1.77-inch TFT outer screen with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels.

Under the hood, it’s rumored to be powered by a 1.05GHz single-core processor, paired with 64MB of RAM and 128MB of expandable storage (up to 32GB via microSD card). A T9 QWERTY keyboard completes the retro experience.

In terms of optics, the device is expected to feature a single rear camera with LED flash. A 1,450mAh battery is rumored to provide ample power, and connectivity options reportedly include 4G LTE, dual-SIM support, Bluetooth, and USB.

The HMD Barbie Flip Phone is a nostalgic throwback to the era of flip phones while offering modern features like 4G connectivity. Its iconic pink design and Barbie branding are sure to appeal to fans of the legendary doll and anyone looking for a unique and stylish mobile device.
