Summary

  • The HMD Barbie, released in August 2024, features a slightly larger 2.8-inch TFT LCD display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, while the Sony Ericsson W950 has a 2.6-inch TFT resistive touchscreen with the same resolution but a higher pixel density.
  • In terms of performance, the Barbie is powered by a Unisoc T107 chipset with a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, compared to the W950's older 208 MHz Philips Nexperia PNX4008.
  • Both devices have 4GB of storage and 4GB of RAM, but the Barbie's camera is notably better with a 0.3 MP rear camera versus the W950's lack of a rear camera.
  • The Barbie has a 1450 mAh battery, significantly larger than the W950's 900 mAh, providing potentially longer usage.
  • The software experience differs as well, with the Barbie running on KaiOS 3.1, while the W950 operates on Symbian 9.1, UIQ 3.0.
