Last we heard, the Mudita Kompact was available via the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. The company has announced that the minimalist E Ink phone is now available for purchase via its official retail site, Mudita.com, and is priced at $439. The website also mentions there is another 20 percent discount applicable, which means the chance to save almost a third of the original price if you place your order now. Check the site for more up-to-date information on this.
The company, meanwhile, shouldn’t need any introduction unless you have very limited exposure to the latest advancements in display or mobile technology. The company has made a name for itself developing devices that aim to pull you out of the digital chaos of our increasingly connected world. Towards that end, the Mudita Kompact is designed to offer the basics of a smartphone while having none of the distractions associated with one.
The E Ink display provides a soothing visual experience, which means zero strain on your eyes. Combine that with the significantly reduced urge to turn to your phone, which means better eye health or other issues typically associated with excessive screen time. This way, you have more time to turn to other aspects of your life that often get ignored. It can be like nurturing that hobby of yours that you might have long forgotten about, or spending some quality time with your family with no distractions to be worried about.
As Mudita’s CEO Michal Stasiuk said, “Technology should enhance our lives, not take over them. With the Mudita Kompakt, we’re helping people break free from digital distractions so they can focus on what truly matters to them; whether that’s work, relationships, or personal growth.”
On offer are two versions of the Mudita Kompact, one that is optimised for use in North America, while another that has been designed for use in other parts of the world. Shipments in North America are going to be dispatched by May. Check with the company’s sales site for more accurate shipping information, depending on the region where you want it delivered.
With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
