How would you define the Light Phone 3? Just curious,

I have not used the phone, but if their UI is anything like the industrial design, it would seem very utilitarian. Nothing wrong with that, per se, we just want more

They also donāt appear to have a vision for how to fit the minimum required app complexity into a minimalist form factor.

Installing apps is a cruddy free for all mess and is horrendous disaster for code/data/privacy/security/peace and quiet! More is definitely less, but the question remains; how to get more from less.

It looks to me that the M.K. is just another smartphone. I purchased the Pure when it came out because it was simply a phone with no bluetooth nor wifi and the lowest emf/rf on the market. Unfortunately, it didnāt work consistently in my old neighborhood so I sent it back, regretfully. Iāve since moved, so considering it again as the only non-wired phone device I can find. Has anyone found something comparable?

what do you mean by āsmart featuresā, the Pure had no wifi connectivity? Or did you mean it had features that you thought were important?
Compared to Nokia old school series 30
Tethering
2 Nano SIM
Good storage
Stronger battery
VOLTE
E ink screen
Offline key, volume keys
Bluettoth speakers and headphones connectivity
Most of these is exclusive to smarties, so I call it smart feat
Mudita Pure does have Bluetooth. Can you elaborate more as to why you consider Mudita Kompakt a āsmartphoneā? What would make it a more minimal phone in your eyes?
I donāt really understand why it matters if the Mudita Kompakt is a smartphone or a dumbphone. Canāt it be its own thing? For me, the Kompakt (as well as the light phone 2 & 3) is a minimalist phone. But compared to the light phone that I previously had, the ability to side-load some well-chosen apps makes it even more aligned with my minimalist values. When I had the light phone 2 I had to keep my iPhone around because it had some apps thatā truly (and unfortunately) are a necessity where I live. That made the light phone kind of useless because I still had to try to use self-discipline to not use my iPhone all the time, and I had two devices I had to carry with me, which was not minimal at all. With the Kompakt, I hope that I can finally let go of my iPhone, without having to carry around a lot of devices to compensate for what the phone canāt do, because the Kompakt will actually have all of the necessities I need. Thatās what makes the Kompakt a truly minimal phone for me.

I have the same attitude. āCanāt it be its own thing?ā is my question, too.

In HW definitely smartie, in software seems to be mixed bag so far

well, Bluetooth compatible if hooking up to computer, correct? Otherwise, no connection to the internet. Thatās what Iāve been keeping my eyes open for, just a phone to make calls for emergencies. It looks like youāve gone from that basic, low emf, no internet concept to something thatās just too much like a smartphone. Meaning, it looks like it has internet capability, apps, bluetooth always, just like a smartphone. And I donāt see any info on the SAR/emf/rf numbers, which with the Pure was always boldly advertised because it was the main cool feature. Just appears to be a huge divergance from Muditaās original goal, to now just another mainstream cell phone to satisfy the general public. 
Is there something Iām missing, Iād be happy to be mistaken.

PURE Antenna was not good enough, maybe when tech is mature enough.
Essentialy, this is modding eink smartie to be more Mudita ways
On my behalf, I would prefer Pure 2 with biger screen, querty, better sw and a bit better antenna

Yep, I see it as its own thing. Categorising things is not so easy and quite unhelpful these days.

I saw a post by @urszula on the Forum somewhere, stating that she only uses a phone for āthe basicsā. That comment made me reflect on my own use case for a phone and basically I feel the same, I only really want a device to do basics such as communication, calendar/diary entries, notes, ability to play some music, WiFi tethering, alarms and timer functions. The sort of things I always used the original Nokia phones for. I just think the technology is a lot better these days and all of this can be done with very nice aesthetics and reliability. Something rock solid that I can depend on is a MUST!
