We already knew the global version that is already on sale runs a different OS compared to the US, which is coming in October, but it turns out there are more changes in there.<\/p>\n<p>The changes include more RAM and storage, better camera, a domestic chipset and even Wi-Fi (802.11 b\/g\/n) connectivity.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/08\/hmd-barbie-phone-ofic\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_004.jpg\" alt=\"HMD announces Barbie phone\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The US version of HMD Barbie comes with Qualcomm 215 chip running KaiOS 3.1 on top, instead of the Shanghai-made Unisoc chip with the basic S30+ operating system. It will feature 512 MB RAM and 4 GB storage, a significant upgrade over the 64\/128 MB on the global version. Both have the same microSD support though \u2013 32 GB.<\/p>\n<p>Another major change is the camera on the cover \u2013 the US version has a 5 MP sensor, instead of a basic VGA one. Battery capacity is the same, and the overall screens and footprint are also the same. This means HMD dressed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/nokia_2780_flip-11973.php\">Nokia 2780 Flip<\/a> in Barbie colors, instead of going for the 2660.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"803\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/08\/hmd-barbie-phone-ofic\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_00.jpg\" alt=\"HMD Barbie in the US is a different, more powerful phone\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Connectivity options are also slightly different due to the chipset change. The US version has Bluetooth 4.2, instead of Bluetooth 5.0, but it has Wi-Fi support and GPS\/AGPS \u2013 both lacking on the global variant. There is also slight difference in cellular bands.<\/p>\n<p>The US version also has a tiny hang holder on the flip bar, but both phones come with extra covers, lanyard, attachable charms in the retail box. Also, Americans are getting a USB-C charger in the box, which is absent from the Global version, but some markets might still get an adapter.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/08\/hmd-barbie-phone-ofic\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_002.jpg\" alt=\"HMD announces Barbie phone\"\/><\/p>\n<p>HMD Barbie costs \u00a399 in the United Kingdom and \u20ac129 in Continental Europe. The American version costs $129, which is cheaper than the other versions. Customers in the United States can start placing pre-orders on September 23, and the product will officially launch on October 1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmd.com\/en_us\/hmd-barbie-phone\/specs?sku=AHM2850USA01BB1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/hmdnews.com\/hmd-barbie-phone-has-two-versions-with-different-processors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Via<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/hmd_barbie_us_version_better_camera_more_memory-news-64320.php\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Yesterday, HMD announced the Barbie phone \u2013 a customized variant of the Nokia 2660 Flip with bright pink design and a new theme.
