Barbie didn’t come to make you scroll. 🎀
Mattel teamed up with HMD, the company behind Nokia phones, to create the HMD Barbie Phone: a retro foldable phone, completely pink, designed for making calls and sending text messages. No Instagram, no TikTok, and no spending hours staring at a screen. It’s that simple.
Its design takes you straight back to the 2000s, with customizable cases, a keyboard that glows in the dark, and accessories, including beaded straps. The concept combines the nostalgia of the world’s most famous doll with the rise of “dumbphones”, simpler phones that aim to help us get away from digital distractions for a while. 📱💗
Would you swap your smartphone for one like this to escape the endless scroll, even if only for a while?
