It was the Light Phone 3 for so long and the biggest reason why is repairability and build. The Light Phone 3 has a removeable battery backing and is made to last at least a decade, as long as you take care of it.
Check out this topic for Mudita’s repairability: Kompakt repairability - #13 by jfoigjboiwjefaij – In sum, although the 4 years of warranty is wonderful, once the warranty ends, it’s out of pocket and well for me, a different country is so much farther away than NYC (I live in California).
The reason I’m still considering the Kompakt, I shared here on this topic: Optomized vs. Not? - #6 by muxbree – In sum, the three things I find extremely valuable in this phone are: e-ink screen, Offline+ mode & rounded edges.
All in all, both devices are de-Googled and are made to be used as little as possible. They both have pros and cons. Like someone else mentioned in a third topic, wish they made a combined phone with all the beenfits of each. Now, I just need to try both of them for myself. I could see either being my daily drive. So, I’m in the middle.
OP highlighted the overthinking I was going through myself.
