I am delighted by the development of Mudita Kompakt, with its e-ink screen, off-line plus mode and more. So much thought has gone into it.
I am curious what the SAR rating is, though I do not expect it to be as low as Pure.
I am curious if Kompakt could include the option of making calls via fully wired ethernet connection - using home internet rather than mobile data - connecting to home internet via data cable to Kompakt’s USB-C port, e.g. by voice over internet protocol while on aeroplane mode. This would be a fabulous addition to make calling possible with far less mobile phone radiation, and could make calling overseas (by ethernet cable and data cable to USB-C port) cheap without the need of apps. I notice that Punkt does a version of this, calls it Pigeon, though it relies on Signal in order for calls to be made. I don’t know what is possible without compromising the privacy of the phone. Above phone has an option for making calls using wired internet on aeroplane mode, but there are questions about security overall for that phone, and I far prefer Kompakt’s e-ink and other features.
What does Kompakt weigh?
Is the battery replaceable?
Is there a screen protector or case likely to be available or would something already on the market for another phone fit it?
Does Kompakt do voice to text? Just asking out from curiosity, I think these features often involve major privacy breaches.
Does Kompakt do group messaging?
Does Kompakt allow blocking numbers?
The blog says the E-ink screen is readable in low light without blue light. Another page says there is blue light if the E-ink screen is back lit - the back light is white. Is it possible to choose a colour temperature that has no blue in it for the backlight, as has been done for the torch function? Maybe I just rely on external lighting that has no blue if reading in the dark!!
What is the refresh rate of the E-ink screen? Does it keep up with fast SMS typing? For myself, I will deal with a slower refresh rate in order to have the wonderful benefits of an e-ink screen.
Well that’s quite a few questions, and I expect most of them have been thought about as people at Mudita are thinkers!
