While many critical people have turned their ire towards artificial intelligence, smartphones can also be a problem due to their addictive nature. If you find yourself glued to your phone and want to take a break, then check out the upcoming Mudita Kompakt, which sports a custom operating system, an e-ink display, and many other features to bring balance to your life.
The Mudita Kompakt usually costs $439, but while it’s available for pre-order, the company is offering a 27% discount, so you’ll only pay $335 if you decide to pick it up now. What’s nice about this device is that you won’t be paying Mudita post-purchase via advertisements, which is a growing tactic by manufacturers. Mudita promises that this device has no tracking, no ads, and no distracting apps.
Another unique feature that this phone has is Offline+, a hardware switch on the side of the device that cuts off microphones and the GSM modem at the hardware level and the camera, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth at the software level. This is great for anyone who is privacy conscious and wants more than just airplane mode.
