Our take
A minimalist phone for a focused and healthy lifestyle.
Alright, so let's talk about the Mudita Pure. This is a phone that's trying to take us back to basics, and I mean way back. If you're tired of all the smartphone distractions, this could be your jam. It’s got this minimalist, retro vibe with an e-ink display. Sure, it’s not going to blow you away with colors — it's more like reading a Kindle. But if that’s what you’re looking for, it’s actually kind of cool. Think less about scrolling Instagram and more about just making calls or sending texts.
Now, don’t expect to be snapping selfies or playing Candy Crush on this thing. There’s no camera, no apps, no internet browsing. That's both a blessing and a curse, depending on what you need. If you want a break from the constant ping of notifications, it’s perfect. However, if you rely on your phone for everything from GPS to social media, you might feel like you’ve stepped back into the Stone Age. It’s great for staying present, but not so much for convenience.
One of the standout features is the battery life. This thing can go for days, which is kind of unheard of in today's world. You remember when you didn’t have to charge your phone every night? This phone brings that back. It's like a throwback to when phones were just phones, and that’s refreshing. But, of course, it lasts longer because it’s not doing nearly as much as your typical smartphone.
On the flip side, the lack of features can be a real downer if you’re used to having a smartphone as your go-to device for everything. There’s no GPS, which can be a deal-breaker for some folks. If you’re someone who’s always on the go and needs maps, you might want to keep a backup plan in mind. It's a trade-off: you gain peace and lose some tech perks.
Overall, the Mudita Pure is kind of like a digital detox in the form of a phone. It’s not for everyone, but if you’re craving simplicity and want to unplug without going completely off the grid, it’s worth a look. Just know what you’re signing up for. If you’re all about simplicity and less screen time, this might be your new best friend. But if you can’t live without your apps, maybe just appreciate it from a distance.
