A new retro Barbie flip phone aims to take smartphone-addicted teens back to simpler times
Briefly

The Barbie "dumb phone" features a retro design, equipped with basic functionalities like calling, texting, an MP3 player, and a camera, yet lacks internet access and social media apps.
The release of the Barbie phone caters to a growing trend amongst Gen Z who are turning to simpler mobile devices, seeking to reduce screen time and enhance real-world interactions.
As schools increasingly limit smartphone use, the Barbie phone appears timely, allowing students to stay connected without the distractions commonly associated with smartphones.
Priced at £99 ($130), this device targets teens and promotes a lifestyle focused on simplicity, adorned with fun accessories that appeal to the iconic Barbie brand.
