Barbie-Inspired Mobile can Beat Smartphone Addiction

Phone manufacturer hopes Barbie-inspired mobile can beat smartphone addiction. A new solution has been released to relieve parents from worrying about their children’ smartphone use.

The Barbie-branded phone has launched in the UK and Europe, with its makers arguing that it should help young people take a break from their smartphones. It is a very pink and fundamentally very basic device, with no front camera, only one game and very limited access to the internet. The phone has a launch price of £99 in the UK.
