HMDBarbie | Flip | Unlocked | KaiOS | Compatible with All Carriers | Power Pink | US Version

This phone is now my daily use phone. It replaced my Samsung Galaxy S24. I only had eSim in my S24 though T-Mobile, so I went into the store to get a physical Sim card, which they installed for me. I turned on the phone and made a call and it worked perfectly, loud and clear! I forgot how much I had missed the shape of flip phones while I am on a call. They just make sense ergonomically.The phone itself is great. Startup is cute, it says "Hi Barbie" at the loadup screen. It's pretty customizable. I set up my speed dial contacts, set up a quick call contact (my husband) for the action button below the volume bar, and I ordered an SD card to add music. On KaiOS, there is an app store. PodLP is available to listen to podcasts. I subscribed to a few of my favorites already. Then you can access FM radio via wired headphones, which will be good for the gym if I get bored of my own music.The grip is good in the hands. Of course, it will take getting used to, since we are all predisposed to heavy rectangles. This is lightweight and beautiful. It did slip out of my hands at one point when I was being careless, and (just like in the old Nokia days) the back fell off and battery fell out. The thing is, I prefer that to a massive glass shatter on a 1200 dollar phone. It comes with 3 cases for the back. The cases feel slippery and plasticky, but durable. I feel that the phone is well protected.The battery lasts all day no problem, even though I have been tinkering around on it downloading apps and playing games (new phones always get a lot of attention in their first few weeks am I right?) but it holds up! I could see it easily lasting closer to 3 or 4 days if I don't do all that. I will very likely come and update this review after a month or so of use.I put some stickers on the mirror side of the phone. I made sure that they didn't block the time and notification display. I also added the little beaded strap and swirly back case. It's definitely eye-catching! You know, it's interesting enough to see someone unironically using a flip phone these days, so one this adorable is bound to get comments. My husband called while I was checking out at Trader Joe's and the cashier said "IS THAT A FLIP PHONE?!" She was so excited to see it and when I told her it was actually Barbie themed she was very interested. So many questions like "How do you not have a smart phone, isn't it so hard?" etc. I did grow up in the 80's and 90's so it wasn't a difficult adjustment since I already know how to type, navigate, and speed dial on these phones. But it is freeing to go to the park with my daughter and really experience the moments. Not get a notification for TikTok or YT or a facebook comment and feel that urge to check it. Once you check that notification, you're bound to check something else, and so on and so on... until all your kid knows is you've got your face stuck to your phone again while she plays alone.Not anymore. Come on, Barbie. Let's go party!Lets get back to a basic phone with perks like Google Maps and Podcasts, and say no to constant social media and content connection. We aren't built for that! Side note, I also got a cute little screen free camera (won't say the brand here but it's to SNAP photos at CAMP let's just say.) Between the screen free camera and the flip phone I am LOVING life. And actually living it.

I bought this Barbie flip phone for my 11 year old daughter because we wanted a way to communicate with each other but don’t want her to have all of the distractions of a smartphone. She loves the color and all of the accessories. I bought her separately, screen protector for the mirror part and for the internal screen that is seen when the phone is flipped open. The battery life is very long and because she mainly uses it to call and text, the phone can go days without needing charging. It has good sound quality, it is light weight and easy to use. It is a great value for the money.

So cute, easy to set up, and minimalist in terms of functionality. I wanted something to separate away from my smartphone. I was able to set up service easily with Mint Mobile.Texting will require a learning curve (or muscle memory from back in the day). My favorite thing about the phone is the Barbie sound options for the ringer and notifications.Remember this is a basic phone so you won’t be able to do a lot of functions, but there is a basic internet browser, maps, and FM radio. Simple is the reason to buy it!I love it!

I really do like this phone. It's cute and says "Hi, Barbie!" when you power it on. I was able to convert my spotify playlist to mp3 format and transfer it to this phone. It has google maps so I can check my bus times. (Something I was worried about) . You can go on the internet, it's not super fast or anything but it works.As for messaging, I get text messages no problem. When it comes to images it seems to be a hit or miss, I can send them just fine. But sometimes when people send me images, it sometimes never loads, if someone send me an image on Monday, i'll receive it Tuesday . Same with videos. But sometimes I get the images just fine . I haven't figured out the reason for this.The phone comes with some pre-installed games. Theres an app store with some stuff for download nothing exceptional. But it's a dumb-phone. Have no problem calling others, or others calling me. I saw a review saying the battery life was bad. In my opinion it's great. It last a long time, even if I have internet sharing on.

Wasn’t sure how legit this was at first but with the processor it had figured it had to be. Perfect gift for my pink obsessed elderly aunt. She only used flip phones and this was the only good pink one around. Works just like any other old flip phone but with the cutest Barbie additions. Not too heavy in the hand, easy to carry around. Volume is loud when it rings(too loud sometimes) but good for the hearing impaired. Battery lasts awhile even when you don’t charge every night. Also has the size fit for a normal sized memory core chip whatever it’s called.

Be careful if you choose to buy this product. I brought mine new, but received a used phone. The front of the phone where the mirror is was scratched up and full of finger prints. The keys, and the screen were dirty and smudged. The changeable cases were dirty as well. When I turned on the phone there were still contacts, videos, and text messages from the previous owner. ( Which was a young high school girl.) It wouldn't let me factory reset the phone, nor would the sim card lock thing click into place with my sim card.The phone is really cute, and I was super excited for it, but the fact that it was dirty and used just ruined the experience for me. I really tried to look past all of it, but it all just rubbed me the wrong way.So i returned it. I mean its still a really cute phone, but i wont be trying again with this brand.

My wife loves this phone!! She got it because she didnt like that she and the kids kept scrolling mindlessly on her "smart" phone and with this phone it is only used for text and talking and it has been a wonderful detox for everyone. She was also able to upload her favorite song as a ringtone and gets tons of compliments on how cute it looks!
