Barbie Flip Phone and Nokia Continuation: At this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, HMD Global, the company behind Nokia phones, has unveiled intriguing developments. Let’s dive into the details:
Barbie Flip Phone
HMD has partnered with Mattel to create a nostalgic nod to old-school flip phones. The upcoming Barbie-themed retro feature phone is set to launch in July. While specifics remain scarce, we know it will be pink and evoke a sense of style and nostalgia.
Nokia’s Fate
Amid recent rumors about Nokia phones being discontinued, HMD Global clarifies that Nokia phones will continue to be available in the market. The Nokia brand won’t vanish abruptly. In fact, HMD tantalizes us with the promise of at least one more Nokia device arriving in May 2024. A pixelated image hints at a yellow device, likely a reincarnation of a classic “candy bar”-style phone.
Upcoming HMD-Branded Smartphones
In addition to the Barbie flip phone and Nokia’s continuation, HMD has exciting plans for smartphones:
July 2024
Brace yourselves for not one, but two HMD-branded smartphones launching in July. While details are scarce at the moment, anticipation is building.
HMD’s Vision
HMD aims to create phones that are affordable, beautiful, desirable, and repairable. Repairability is a key focus, and the brand expects half of its globally sold smartphones in 2024 to be repairable. Additionally, HMD is launching the HMD Fusion, a developer toolkit for designing hardware and software to meet diverse user needs.
