Summary

  • The Cat B35 features a robust build with dimensions of 138 x 60 x 14 mm and weighs 130g, while the HMD Barbie, with its foldable design, measures 201 x 55.1 x 10.9 mm when unfolded and weighs 123.5g.

  • Performance-wise, the B35 is powered by a dual-core Snapdragon 205, while the Barbie utilizes a quad-core processor, offering potentially better multitasking.
  • The B35's rear camera is 2 MP, superior to the Barbie's 0.3 MP option, but both lack advanced features.
