The only thing Iād ask for is just a robust modem. No NA and Interntional version, just one version with wide and forward looking connectivity. Iād love to take my Kompakt everywhere without fear.
The size is ideal, Iād even go smaller if possible.
The switch to go offline is great in theory, but is a bit cumbersome in practice. Mine has started to act up, so I have to jostle it sometimes because itāll inadvertently flip me āofflineā when I put it in my pocket.
I do occasionally hot spot my laptop, so 5G would be nice, but by no means should it be a priority.
I love repairability. If parts and guides became available, even partnering with iFixit to ensure long term support Iād absolutely love that.
Besides that I still just love my Kompakt. Will happily carry it on for years, but obviously if those updates came through I would buy the next iteration and gift my Kompakt to a friend. Then Iād happily use that version for years and repair it if it ever broke down haha.
Be on an actual Android OS that will receive official Android security updates for years to come. I returned the Kompakt because itās on Android 12. I do not feel safe using a phone with such a dated OS that no longer receives official security updates.
I like the obscurity of having a Kompakt, I feel safe with the phone, my safety is increased because exposure to those persistent security threats are avoided with the methods of connectivity implemented by the Mudita OS.
The Kompakt is not an Android phone, You are trusting the Android OS security? You prefer being part of the Google community?
Man, I do not know how I feel about a launch of a new phone - I mean, I have two Kompakts, one as my daily driver and the other in case the first breaks down. @urszula when will Mudita tease the next phone? I am not sure if i am quite ready for a ānextā phone unless it is a future proof 5G Kompakt like device with full cut off. I guess it will be easy to hard pass if it does not offer the same level of privacy. The Kompakt OS is getting MUCH better but still needs some quality of life improvements - will the new phone take off where the current OS sits or is there an entirely new OS? The former would (somewhat) make sense while the latter would be sub-optimal and do not see how Mudita could do it.
I donāt know. I mean, as stated, my Kompakt is my primary phone (see LP2 for runs below) but could still use some quality of life OS upgrades before introducing a new phone, no? I guess we shall see. I forgot to add the new phone should have a 3.5MM jack. ugh.
I love my LP2 - it is my jogging phone. It is small and fades away in the background but texting is TOUGH. So I guess, the Kompakt is not my only phone but only use the LP2 for long runs and Light seems to have forgotten about it as it tries to bring the LPIII OS software up to speed - their tools are, in many ways, well behind the Kompaktās tools.
This is still some time away. When we started the development on Kompakt we also sent out a similar survey. You can check on the FORUM when that was & then compare that when Kompakt actually launched/shipped.
I took part in the survey, but thatās the sort of thing Iām really looking forāideally even a bit smaller. The one shown weighs around 80g, handles only calls (no SMS), and the battery lasted about two weeks without charging. Ten numbers can be stored and selected using speed-dial button (0-9). Sadly 2G or 3G only.
The build quality could be better, as could the usability of the side sliders and the rocker switch. The small notebook and mini-pen are superfluous. The SMS issue needs a better solution: either the device should support SMS (though that complicates things), or the sender should receive some kind of notification making it clear that the recipient cannot receive SMS messages and therefore wonāt read or reply to them.
Yes, a phone; I donāt need the rest when Iām on the go.
I believe the current OS can be carried over to the next device. It wouldnāt make sense to start from scratch. Theyāve done a great job; there are a few quality-of-life features missingāwhich I expect will be introduced in late 2026ābut it works really well. So, I expect the new device to be an upgrade in terms of efficiency and usability, perhaps finally including those little things the community has been asking for.
I hope so - would be silly to let all this great work go to waste. I really really love the Mudita OS - I did three minimal sideloads: CalmCast, QR, and Timer. Canāt wait to get call notification and a music library that puts songs in intended order.
Previous Kompact owner here, have completed the survey, received the 20% discount code but on checkout a few moments ago the code is ānot validāā¦.hmmm. The order was for the phone, case and protective screen at Ā£349. Any reason why?
@urszula No, it is a Johnās Phone and according to Wikipedia, the battery even lasts up to three weeks in standby mode. I used this phone until the provider shut down the 2G or 3G network.
It was sort of the only phone on the market at the time. This was pre mudita times! I found the size to be cute and aesthetic. It did what I needed. I used the voice text feature often, but the phone would constantly die on me. So I would sort of have to charge it whenever I could! I used it for a good amount of years and then switched to the Mudita and now I am using the Hibreak, but I might switch back to mudita or wait for the new model and see how that looks. Hoping for a thinner physical hardware design. I found the previous mudita a bit chunky in size.
I needed google maps and mudita wasnāt working reliably in the city that I lived in. I was relying too much on my car gps, but for on foot navigation I would sometimes get lost or would have to call someone to help me navigate. I switched to hibreak and I use it in a very similar way to mudita. I actually have a lot of mudita apk apps installed and I use the system apps but on the Hibreak. I side load google maps and Spotify. But for the most part, I just use it for reading, texting and navigation lol.
