Cheers for checking out my Barbie Phone review! Um, if you're a kid you probably shouldn't be watching, incidentally. Some potty mouthed stuff in there as usual. Although no worse than you hear from your parents' bedroom, most likely
Hah! I see your 43 and 48, and raise to 55. I'm here for the comedy and the Geordie/probably makem accent. I do like that pink phone he's gannin on aboot though 😊
My brother introduced his phone to a stone path last week, and with his birthday coming up I was going to buy him a phone. This is ideal as he'll be 41.
Talk about a 2000s nostalgia trip. I know it's not technically a 2000s phone but come on; wrist straps, changeable back covers, a clamshell phone with a physical T9 keypad, a replaceable battery, barbie, it's all there! Makes me miss the days when a phone with a changeable back cover wasn't seen as rare and unusual.
@@TechSpurt If companies like fairphone can convince phone manufacturers that replaceable backs are still effective in waterproofing, It's very possible
Considering there is still a market for these kinds of "dumbphones", I feel like there should also be proportional advancements in camera technology, and therefore SoC and memory capacity. Just because your children or grandparents don't get a smartphone, doesn't mean they don't want good pictures (relative to price).
There have been phones in this form factor release with like 40mp+ cameras. It's not that we can't, it's just that companies wanna save a buck and people don't want to shell out that much for a dumbphone
I think part of the problem is that a lot of people don’t know or care what a good picture is. Anybody buying a dumb phone who wants to take good photos will already own a better, standalone camera and nobody else cares enough for it to be worth the extra cost. Most people really cannot see the difference in quality. Unless every flip phone on the market starts providing better cameras no manufacturer will!
@@peugeoting I disagree with that. I know a lot of people who enjoy photography, or simply taking some basic photos without having to squint to see what the photo is even of. And they use phones to do it, because only enthusiasts carry cameras nowadays. If you think the average layman can't discern the difference between a 5mp image and a 16mp one, you're crazy. I don't think anyone expects insane quality out of a flip phone, but cameras below like 12mp shouldn't even be getting sold anymore.
Super cute phone. It seems to be good for just a starter phone for a kid to keep them off social media. Or maybe for older people who don't want all the smartphone features.
*I'm sorry but this is sooooo cute, its giving y2k realness! Although the phone itself is lacking in modern features, its still very cool with the additional straps, backings etc.*
The amount of effort that Nokia/HMD put into this phone, accessories, packaging, etc is seriously impressive & utterly amazing. Amazing, because Nokia/HMD seem to be in a downward death spiral with phones like the Nokia C32 having had exactly zero security updates since November 2023! I even did a factory re-set in the hope it would bring in another security update. I thought it would get security updates in a timely fashion like they managed to do around 2018/19. The C32 is very slow but does have impressive battery life & a good camera for the price.
So you are telling me that this 100£ Barbie phone comes with accessories and my 1200$ s23 ultra had a cable in the box? Really? What is wrong with you Samsung
@rejectionisprotection4448 oh yes the environment. No one cares for it when overconsumption is taking over the world and for of life but when they are to leave us some cool stuff to attach to our expensive phones they care for it .
i got mine yesterday and i love it! the easter eggs are so fun and im obsessed with the included diamantes and stickers for customisation purposes (totally didnt spend most of my lunch break decorating it!) i do wish the music player software was a bit better though
As silly as it is I actually like how there’s Easter eggs and stuff. It’s basically a Nokia 2780 and honestly if I was gonna switch to a flip I might as well go all the way lol
If Mattel has their finger on the pulse they'll soon be releasing Tech Spurt Barbie, complete with pint glass and hip flask accessories and assortment of various Monster Munch.
Not going to lie here, I had zero interest or desire for this phone but if you had the cojones to honestly review it, I damn well am watching the entire video from beginning to end, and sharing it
Sort of phone you get your kid you don't like to go to school with so they get picked on, then they come home and cry and send them back with the same phone becuase their story was so funny!
HAHA Your videos are SO FUN!!! Love watching them and TBH im kinda in love with this phone! LOL but then again i am queer so makes sense but its also just hella fun retro in comparison to the usual boring black rectangles still being produced! Tempted to replace my 2023 razr+ for this as a "less smart" daily phone 😭

@@TechSpurt 😅😅😅 you are always funny
@TechSpurt Very gimmicky but it not being touch screen. What's the point of anything that's a huge step back in technology
Waiting for the one-week review ;)
Shaking like ashittttin dog 😂. Spurt honestly, do you have a script or is this all off the cuff wizardry?
😂😂😂😂

that’s so iconic i love that for you
Old people 😅
@@Jedbullet29 you got me bet. But I'm here for it.
I can only imagine how successful the sales would have been if they had sold it last year during all the Barbie movie craze
This would have gone CRAZY in the early 2000s

Yeah, the fully customisable phones back in the day were cracking. Those Lumias with the swappable backs too. Hopefully making a comeback soon!
@@TechSpurt If companies like fairphone can convince phone manufacturers that replaceable backs are still effective in waterproofing, It's very possible
you can change back covers easily? ever taken apaart a modern android motorola, or a vivo? the back cover is held on by glue.
@@JamesBD05that's the thing, it *was* possible. Look at Galaxy S5. Companies are just greedy nowadays and fairphone is no better

Only recent dumbphone that has decent memory/Soc is Cat S22 Flip. And it runs Android Go
I see most people don't really care for camera

8:20 "Guide your big pink snake towards the melons and watch it grow!" . Huh...you don't say!😳😲😂🤣🤪
just saw him say that on the shorts version and am still drying my eyes!
I can even hear that song in my head…”i’m a barbie girl, in a barbie world”
And once it's in there, it never leaves...
@@TechSpurt Who knew that 1500 years later the Vikings would be all about Barbie 😁The song is Danish, the phone comes from a Finnish company
removable battery, headphone jack, microsd slot...immediately better than basically any new phone

Barbie phone review after 3 bottles of beer, for the UA-cam shenanigans 😅. Everybody loves uncle spurt
So you are telling me that this 100£ Barbie phone comes with accessories and my 1200$ s23 ultra had a cable in the box? Really? What is wrong with you Samsung
It’s the environment apparently. Any old excuse to remove faculties and accessories.
@rejectionisprotection4448 oh yes the environment. No one cares for it when overconsumption is taking over the world and for of life but when they are to leave us some cool stuff to attach to our expensive phones they care for it .
@@hollowclarity Oh absolutely, when they can save money by it or charge more then it's different of course.
Better yet, it's actually 50£ without Barbie branding. It's a Nokia 2660 Flip.
i got mine yesterday and i love it! the easter eggs are so fun and im obsessed with the included diamantes and stickers for customisation purposes (totally didnt spend most of my lunch break decorating it!) i do wish the music player software was a bit better though

Yep, go big or go home etc!
From a female Bravo 👏 I am throughly impressed by your bathroom etiquette.
Now do a 3 month long term review for it. 😄
Will do!
Anxiously awaiting the Ken phone packaged in a Mojo Dojo Casa House. Fur cape case maybe?

A Ken for the ages! Don't forget a backpack full of bloody smartphones too
@@TechSpurtDildos *
Huh...Uncle Spurt really did say "BARBIE" phone. I thought I was hearing "BOBBY"😂
I might have been slurring every now and then 😅
That's a great package tbh, with plenty of stuff for customization.
Right? I've never seen a modern feature phone ship with that many customization options straight up in the box
It’s amazing that this unboxing experience trumps that of most expensive smartphones. Make phone unboxing exciting again!
I came here for the double entendre's and wasn't disappointed. Brilliant review as usual
You're actually the correct target audience for this phone 😂
5:36 I don’t think the FM radio is old enough for people not to know about since it still exist and is used widely
Yeah 😭
People forget that most folks still listen to the radio in the car when they can't be bothered connecting their phones
It's just a 2660 Flip with a extortionate price tag and some extra crap, lol
Exactly
Uncle has truly ascended, he is beyond human comprehension now 😂
The minute I saw this video in my notifications, I knew I had to watch it! Probably the funniest review I've seen LOL. Great video, Chris!
Cheers!
Spat me coffee out anticipating what you might suggest that Ken was going to "Swell"😮

Nostalgic phone.. having thoughts to buy one for my nana.
Just ordered one! Can't wait to unbox it too!
How can we order this??can you please tell me

I'll wait for the Nokia Fraggle Rock 3310 methinks. Comes in a purple Fuzzy Felt case and comes with a free miniature construction worker......
I am shocked with the pink snake and watermelon.... But hey it's tech spurt so I knew what would happen.
I bet your daughter is WAY too cool to rock this phone.
Remember early 2000s when we all had unique phones like this ?
Good old time !
Not going to lie here, I had zero interest or desire for this phone but if you had the cojones to honestly review it, I damn well am watching the entire video from beginning to end, and sharing it
Remember when phones had a reflective part near the camera to check your selfie framing
Sort of phone you get your kid you don't like to go to school with so they get picked on, then they come home and cry and send them back with the same phone becuase their story was so funny!
Dual sim and sd card slot. Sign me up!
Here comes more blurry photos of spaceships in the woods.
Hahaha
Classiest dealer phone ever😂😂
YES I WAS HOPING ITD HAVE THE RADIO!!! Im actually quite excited for it
Ah yes, Barbie's famous catchphrase, how could i forget😂 tech spurt always makes me laugh 😂
This needed to be released with the movie, there's like zero hype now
It's actually good to buy for kids, thanks for revealing
Only 40? Life's been hard on you hasn't it?
I love it!
Also, I'm gonna need to hear you say Barbie 100x again
Oh man, you should have dressed up for the occasion...missed a trick there 😞
There's literally nothing in my wardrobe that isn't an H&M t-shirt sadly!
i am so excited for this to come to the usa!
I'd buy this as a gag gift for my gym crazed friend.
I wouldn’t want this review done by anyone else to be honest 😂❤
If only the camera was a better I'd buy this in a heartbeat
Yes..But does it have a Ken ringtone? 🗿?
Lmao when you said Barbie exhibition, I immediately thought of the gestapo chief Klaus Barbie 😄
IF IT DOESN’T HAVE AN “I’M JUST KEN” RINGTONE I’M NOT BUYING
One of the funniest reviews I've ever seen.
this phone would've been popular in likr 2004
Could at least include a 'Notes' app as Nokia used to have on their basic phones..
“Barbie Man reviews 40 year old phone” also works
LMAO
This is funny. I would love to see a couple more videos like this
i love my unc
such a surprise haha i loved this review
I honestly have no idea how HMD still existis. Like the only thing they do is create gimmy phones.
This video is way too underrated
Nice review uncle spurt
The beads comment lol
High on my list as my next daily driver!!!!
This is the most tech spurt thing ever 🤣🤣🤣
🤣 too cute!!
“Ayayay! you're my little butterfly.” 🦋
This will complement my pink Range Rover nicely.
good lawd that camera took me back to the 90s
I'm more shocked you said "40"!!
40+12 surely?? 🤔😉😁
Oi!

You can get non eye singeingly pink feature phones for a fraction of the price.
Pretty phone love Barbie 😊love the pink too😊

You know your Barbie's...explains a lot!😂😂😂...where is the Magic Eraser when you really need it!!😅😅😅
For some reason I want this phone
