There is a new Barbie 'brick phone' being sold which manufacturers hope will help young people beat their smartphone addiction, says BBC News. The bright pink blower is being launched in the UK and Europe with no front camera, very limited access to the internet and only one game: the retro Nokia classic Snake. Manufacturer HMD says it hopes the £99 Malibu mobile will tap into a “surge” of adolescents crying out for less tech in their lives.
