The Barbie Phone is plastic, fantastic, and impractical

Summary

The Barbie Phone is based on one of HMD ’s feature phones, and it runs an operating system called KaiOS .

The phone is designed for basic connectivity — texting, calling, emails — and even includes a web browser.

It's a fun collectors item, but ultimately frustrating to use in daily life.

Otherwise, this is just a neat collectible item; something to take out of the box and play with for a while, but ultimately leave in a drawer. Kind of like a doll. Photography by Allison Johnson / The Verge.
