New Barbie Flip Phone Soon To Be 2024’s Most Popular Cell Phone In NJ

It's also no secret that Gen Z, more than any other generation before it, cares deeply about their mental health. That has led to many ditching smartphones in an effort to decrease their screen time. Many have confirmed that the fear of missing out, or 'FOMO', they once felt due to social media has decreased drastically.

Apparently, phone companies are paying attention to this trend. So much so, that phones once popular in the 2000s are being reimagined and released to accommodate this giant step Gen Z is taking away from smart devices.

A recent press release from the folks over at HMD, Human Mobile Devices, has confirmed that they've teamed up with BARBIE™ to create a Barbie-inspired flip phone, perfect for people who are searching for a device reminiscent of the early 2000s era's most popular form of communication.
