The Mudita Kompakt underwent extensive drop testing to confirm that its design is robust enough to handle common, everyday use. As with any device, rough or uneven surfaces (e.g. gravel or rocks) pose a higher risk, especially for the E-ink display, so it’s always best to exercise caution.
Kompakt users who want to further increase their phone's durability can also consider purchasing our dedicated cases and screen protectors.
Drop Test Results
The Mudita Kompakt passed the following drop tests onto smooth surfaces:
18 drops from heights of 0.8m, 1m, and 1.2m
200 drops from a height of 50cm
These tests are meant to reflect real-world scenarios and simulate how the Kompakt would hold up to wear caused by everyday use. Tests were concluded after 18 and 200 drops respectively and the phone was not tested further. This doesn't mean that the following drops past these numbers would have caused failure, only that the phone successfully endured these test scenarios. Tests to actual failure were not conducted.
Sturdy Design
The Kompakt's casing is made from polycarbonate with an addition of glass fiber. This durable material helps resist everyday wear and tear. The phone is also reinforced with a sturdy metal frame on the inside, further contributing to its overall durability.
The front glass is made from a mineral material with a matte texture, designed to balance durability and functionality. It achieved an 8H rating in the pencil hardness test, indicating good resistance to everyday scratches. The Mohs scale hardness rating is above 4. Minor marks may appear with normal use, especially due to the matte finish, but the screen is well-suited for daily life.
The Kompakt has an IP54 rating for resistance to dust and splashes. However, the phone is not waterproof and should never be submerged in water.
