@denzilferreira According to the comments it will both be available in the Netherlands and have US bands (see the answers by the Bigme account), so it seems that they are going for an international release.

I hope it's basically an improved A9. (Better screen, faster processor, SD card slot, better ergonomics.) If it has any worse speakers or audio internals I'm not interested.

The Palma was a disappointment on that front.

@mutkitta NFC and wireless charging would be cherry on top 🤣

@denzilferreira The Mudita Kompakt will have wireless charging. And a 3.5mm jack. No info about NFC yet.

I fear it might be too small to read on comfortably, though.

I hope they prove me wrong :)

@mutkitta err did they miss the memo on pocket ereading? Half of the device is a keyboard, that you can’t hide 🙈

@denzilferreira I heard they posted on their english pages too, so there is chance, it might have all bands, and actually be sold there...

Regardless, even if not, it is incredibly happy day to hear these news, after Hisense stuff...

And honestly, with the supposed reasons for hisense getting out of e-ink phone niche, I really did not expect anything this quickly lol

@queenofhatred yeah! They said end of May for full reveal and preorders. I’m thinking this will only be available end of year timeframe. Let’s see!
