The company behind Nokia-branded smartphones, HMD, short for Human Mobile Devices, says it is launching a Barbie flip phone this summer, in partnership with toy maker Mattel .
Soon, you'll be able to get a flip phone from the blockbuster toy franchise.
It won't be connected to the internet, making it a throwback to the "dumb phones" of yesteryear before smartphones became popular.
The device looks like a standard flip phone with buttons rather than a touch screen, and comes in a hot pink color, resembling the iconic pink flip phone accessory that comes with many Barbie dolls.
This is a step away from Nokia which is the brand HMD typically has used to sell its dumb phones and smartphones.
