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.
- Both devices have a TFT display, but the B35 has a slightly smaller 2.4" screen compared to the 2.8" display of the Barbie, though both share the same resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.
- 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.
- Battery capacity is another differentiator, with the B35 housing a 2300 mAh battery compared to the Barbie's 1450 mAh.
- Lastly, the B35 runs on KaiOS 2.5.1, while the Barbie operates on the newer KaiOS 3.1, which may offer a more updated software experience.
