Mudita’s latest release, the Kompakt, brings a fresh take on the “less is more” philosophy in smartphones. By focusing on core utilities and pairing them with an E Ink display, it aims to help users cut through the noise of constant notifications and rediscover a healthier relationship with their devices.
A Screen That Encourages Presence
At its heart is a 4.3?inch E Ink touchscreen (800 × 480 px) that mimics paper, reducing glare and eye strain even in bright light. Unlike typical backlit panels, it only refreshes when needed, so you spend less time distracted by moving pixels and more time truly present.
Core Functions Without Clutter
Running Mudita OS K—a de?Googled, Android?based system—the Kompakt offers just the essentials: calls, SMS, offline maps, a calculator, voice recorder, calendar, notes, and an e?reader. There’s no app store; sideloading is possible but not guaranteed to work smoothly on the E Ink screen. This pared?down approach keeps digital clutter at bay and encourages intentional use.
Hardware Built for Simplicity and Reliability
Under the hood sits a quad?core MediaTek MT6761V/WBA chip, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage (expandable via microSD). A 3,300 mAh Li?Polymer battery can last up to six days on standby, and quick top?ups are handled via USB?C (10 W max) or wireless charging (2.5 W max). Audio comes through an ACC speaker or the 3.5 mm jack, and a basic 8 MP camera with dual?color flash lets you capture quick snapshots without tempting you into endless photo sessions.
Balancing Connectivity and Privacy
Connectivity covers 2G/3G/4G LTE, Wi?Fi, Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC, plus GPS for navigation. A standout feature is Offline+ mode: a sliding hardware switch cuts power to GSM radios and microphones, while software toggles disable camera, Bluetooth and Wi?Fi—so you can fully disconnect when you need to.
In the conclusion, it’s worth noting that the Kompakt is up for pre?order now in its North America–optimized version at a special introductory price of USD 335 (regularly USD 439) and will begin shipping in May 2025.
