Honestly im a grown adult, but this was helpful to me since i havent had a dumphone in nearly 15 years and dont remember a lot of the ways to use them.
I really liked your comment about making this a kid's first phone and about mental health--especially when it comes to smartphones. I've been doing some heavy research and am looking to get this phone or the nokia 2780. I feel like I'm so distracted by my phone all the time. I'm just not sure if I want to pay more for a phone with a personality or pay less for a regular one that doesn't really fit my style :/ we will have to see. Although I'm leaning more toward the barbie phone the more research I do, as the US variant is pretty much a reskinned 2780. Either way I go I'm spending way less on a phone and a monthly phone bill overall.
Yes, and the UK version is based on 2660. But the experiences are totally different. I feel the Barbie device sets a different standard for adults. Instead of being asked why are you using a dumb phone, they would probably ask where did you get that. 🙏
@@ladybug4231 i know right !! u may also notice ur phone missing features from this video , such as the meditation tips and tricks or the home screen being black and the icons not all being barbie themed . but it does have a better camera lens , more storage , and apps like maps . the global version is basically the nokia 2660 , and the american version is the nokia 2780 . same recolors but different phones and operating systems
Hi I love this so much I will buy this because of your video! I would like to know if there is a way I can use the whatsapp website in Opera since we cannot download the app? I must use it to keep in contact with family. Can you also show how the quality is if I add a SD card with downloaded music? Is it good to listen to with my bluetooth earbuds? Can you also show watching youtube on opera mini? Is it possible to use Opera mini to login to spotify or apple music via browser?
You can't use WhatsApp, Spotify etc through opera mini. Not supported. Bluetooth quality depends on earbuds. Generally works well ,but it doesn't support advance codec like android. This is primarily a detox device. But you can use Facebook..the is version of this runs on Kai OS so you have more social apps there but not whatsapp
Hello! Can you please tell me if the international version has Chinese Mandarin language and text input? I asked HMD customer support and they couldn’t answer me. Many thanks!
My unit is meant for Europe market. It doesn't have Mandarin. But I suppose the one meant for Chinese market has it. And you can get them from AliExpress
No, this is the Global version. US version runs on Kai OS, a smarter operating system . Global is based on S30+ which is a feature phone OS. But both have a custom Barbie themed UI. I think the US version should have access to Kai OS store .
Yes I just did. Connect the phone via cable to a computer or put the SD card in the computer and just transfer mp3 files. When you disconnect the phone from the computer it will show up where you change the ringtone and are able to choose from music library
If Nokia will sell their brand to other company like it was with HMD you will make video with Nokia? I guess youll make video with Nokia and HMD devices. LOL

Thank you. I tried to make it as simple as possible for young audience to setup their device without hassle.🙏
I recommend a fitting screwdriver to open the backcover. That goes really convenient and there is no need to ruin the nails.
This was such a great overview! Can’t wait for mine to get here!

Mine didn't do the ken thing how do u make it to where it does that?
Try to reset the device. It should work with each bootup.
the ken intro is only a feature of the global version. u may have the american version. hope this helps

@@DrNokia_theoriginal I have I think I might have the American version

Browsing via opera mini only. Others no .

This is the USA ver. right?
No, this is the Global version. US version runs on Kai OS, a smarter operating system .
Global is based on S30+ which is a feature phone OS.

Where to buy this phone in Malaysia?

Does the mini opera browser open web WhatsApp? Just, curious
No
Can you add custom ringtones? Is there any work around?
Yes I just did. Connect the phone via cable to a computer or put the SD card in the computer and just transfer mp3 files. When you disconnect the phone from the computer it will show up where you change the ringtone and are able to choose from music library
@medinagredelj3793 Thank you! Yes, I did the same when I finally got one!
I bought it for me lmao 😅
