The US version of the HMD Barbie phone features a Qualcomm 215 chip running KaiOS 3.1, which offers upgrades such as increased RAM and storage. Unlike the global iteration, which uses a Unisoc chip, the US variant boasts 512 MB RAM and 4 GB storage, a step up from the base models' 64/128 MB, enhancing user experience for American buyers. This shift not only responds to market needs but also positions the HMD Barbie as a more competitive offering in the flip phone segment.
Another significant highlight is the camera change; the US variant is equipped with a 5 MP cover camera, whereas the global version uses a basic VGA lens. This improvement allows for better photography capabilities, catering to user demand for enhanced camera performance in a handset designed for casual use. It illustrates HMD's strategic decision to elevate features in the US market while keeping the broader appeal intact for international consumers.
