Switching to this Barbie flip phone felt like unboxing childhood nostalgia—power pink, lightweight, and that satisfying *snap* when closing it. The first 'Hi, Barbie!' greeting made me grin like I'd just found my old Dreamhouse.

Battery life? Unreal. After 2 days of calls/texts, it still had juice—no more frantic charger hunts like with my smartphone. The ABC predictive texting takes getting used to (RIP T9 muscle memory), but the emoji support and ability to send pics surprised me.

Real talk: Google Maps is clunky. I used it to find a coffee shop and missed a turn while waiting for the next direction to load. Fine for emergencies, but I keep my smartphone in the glovebox for road trips.

The customizable cases are pure Mattel magic—the hot pink one feels like Barbie's convertible plastic. Though that mirror finish? Cute until sunlight blinds you mid-call. I solved it with a Lisa Frank sticker.

It's not perfect (RIP Bluetooth), but as a 'digital detox' sidekick? 10/10. Bonus: strangers keep asking about it—turns out adults miss fun phones too.
