We knew it was coming, but now it's officially here! HMD has unveiled its Barbie Phone, a hot pink flip phone for those exhausted from being constantly exposed to social media.

The feature phone has a pair of customizable back covers, a beaded wrist strap, and stick-on gems and stickers associated with the Barbie brand. The phone itself features a 2.8-inch screen with a Barbie-themed UI (including a Snake game that gets the Barbie treatment), a T9 keyboard, and a 0.3-megapixel camera with built-in flash.
