Is it even a possibility for Mudita Kompakt’s camera to be upgraded to videotape? I know not being able to video is a deal-breaker for some of my family.

A quick answer - seriously?
No. sorry, I checked, a video tape slot on the Kompakt is not present.

I saw a video of a guy recording a video using instagram’s camera feature. it is possible but youd have to download a second app to do it

I’m assuming OP means taking videos through the phone’s camera. In which case yes, it can, you just need to slideload Open Camera. There’s also a possibility Mudita may add the feature to the stock camera app, but that’s not certain.

Sideloading is not what a potential buyer wants to do, in most cases, I didn’t do a survey, that’s my opinion. The assumption is if a modern phone has a camera it’ll do stills and videos. Good thing the people asked before deciding, maybe they saved some money.
The product has a camera it should come out of the box with an adequate app, which the Kompakt doesn’t presently have (my opinion).

Actually, many people, including me, chose the Kompakt because it allows sideloading - that makes it more appealing than, say, the Light Phone.

The original question asked whether the camera could be “upgraded,” implying they were unsure if the hardware itself is capable of video. The fact that sideloaded camera apps allow for video proves that it doesn’t need to be “upgraded,” it is capable of video so long as it has the software to tell it to do so. I was answering OP’s question.

I don’t work for Mudita, complaining to me isn’t going to do you any good. I’m sorry if sideloading annoys you, but no one’s forcing you to do it (or to use the phone at all), and plenty of us are glad to have it as a feature.

Maybe the original poster will explain this to the people and they will be thrilled to know.
