Editorial report

HMD Barbie technical sheet

The HMD Barbie suits someone looking for a lightweight, foldable phone with a simple format. It weighs 123.5 g and is 55.1 mm wide; its weight is among the lowest of phones launched around the same time. However, at 18.9 mm thick, it is also among the thickest. The 2.8-inch TFT LCD display has a density of 143 ppi, among the weakest figures of its time.

Its 1450 mAh battery capacity is among the lowest of phones launched around the same time. The 512 MB of RAM and 128 MB of storage are also among the lowest capacities. Storage is expandable, so more room can be added. The camera resolution is 0.3 MP, among the weakest of its time, and the camera has an LED flash.

The phone runs KaiOS 3.1 and supports two Nano-SIM cards. It includes 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, USB Type-C, FM radio and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Its connectivity is among the weakest of phones launched around the same time. Overall, the low weight and foldable design are its defining advantages, but the battery, display, memory and camera have substantial limitations. It is aimed at someone who prioritizes a lightweight foldable phone over broad capabilities; it has no NeoScore.
