HMD Barbie

RM 699.00

Price last checked: 1 Sept 2024. Confirm current price before buying.

This is a flip phone through and through, built for calls, texts, and not much else. The 2.8-inch TFT LCD display runs at a modest 240 x 320 resolution, and the entry-level chipset (Unisoc T107 or Snapdragon 215 depending on market) keeps things simple rather than snappy. HMD Barbie price in Malaysia starts from RM699, positioning it as a budget or secondary device rather than a daily driver.

The 1450 mAh battery is removable, a rare feature these days, and should be enough for a phone with no demanding apps to run. Camera specs vary by region, topping out at 5 MP on some units, so don't expect much beyond snapshot quality. Dual Nano-SIM slots, USB Type-C charging, and a wired headphone jack round out the practical bits.

It comes in a single Power Pink colourway, leaning into the novelty factor as much as the function. If you want a lightweight backup phone or something for basic use, this fits; if you need apps or a good camera, look elsewhere.
