As expected from the collaboration with Mattel, pink is a dominant theme. The phone comes with a pink removable 1,450 mAh battery, a pink USB-C cable, a color-coordinated polishing cloth, and a few other accessories. These include two interchangeable back covers, a beaded phone strap, attachable phone charms, and Barbie stickers.
