HMD, which exclusively sold phones under the Nokia brand name, had disclosed plans to release a Barbie-branded flip phone during MWC 2024 in February. It was earlier expected to go on sale in July. The company has joined hands with Mattel for the flip phone.

The HMD Barbie flip is expected to run on either S30+ or KaiOS. It is anticipated to be a traditional feature flip phone rather than a smartphone with access to social media apps following HMD's digital-detox trend.

Aside from the Barbie phone, HMD made a few product announcements recently. The HMD Crest and Crest Max 5G debuted last week marking HMD's venture into the Indian smartphone market. The company previously offered Nokia-branded devices in the country. Similarly, the HMD Skyline with Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC and 108-megapixel triple rear cameras was unveiled in Europe earlier this month.
