The Mudita Kompakt features a 4.3-inch E Ink Carta 1200 display delivering 800-by-480 resolution with adjustable front lighting, housed within a compact form factor measuring approximately 5.3-by-2.6-by-0.5 inches and weighing 130 grams. Powered by a MediaTek MT6761 quad-core processor with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage expandable via microSD, the device runs Mudita OS—a customized Android 11 implementation stripped of Google services and pre-installed social media applications. The 3,000mAh removable battery delivers multiple days of typical use due to E Ink's power efficiency, requiring energy only during screen refreshes rather than continuous display illumination. The device includes essential smartphone functionality: 4G LTE connectivity, dual SIM support, 8MP rear camera, USB-C charging, 3.5mm headphone jack, and physical navigation buttons. Mudita OS emphasizes offline-capable applications including calendar, contacts, notes, calculator, and music player, with optional sideloading of compatible Android apps for users requiring specific functionality.
Designed for individuals seeking smartphone utility without the attention-capture mechanisms inherent to mainstream devices, the Kompakt represents a deliberate rejection of infinite-scroll interfaces and algorithmic content feeds. The E Ink display eliminates the color saturation and motion that trigger dopamine responses, making extended social media browsing physically uncomfortable while maintaining readability for essential communication and productivity tasks. The absence of pre-installed addictive applications and Google's advertising ecosystem creates friction for impulsive app usage, encouraging intentional device interaction rather than habitual checking. The removable battery addresses planned obsolescence concerns common in sealed smartphones, extending device lifespan through component replacement. This combination of E Ink technology, minimalist software philosophy, and offline-first design positions the Kompakt as a tool for digital minimalists, attention management practitioners, and users experiencing smartphone addiction who require connectivity without the psychological manipulation embedded in attention-economy business models.
