"A phone with an ultralow SAR value,if you want to minimise your mobile radiation exposure."
bunk.
"Pure’s screen doesn't emit blue light directly into your eyes. Most smartphones dazzle us with a direct frontlight, whereas Mudita Pure has a special layer of reflective foil which guides the light directly onto the display."
No backlit display then?
"Researchers around the world have begun to question the influence that prolonged exposure to an artificial source of radiation has on our health. There are no clear answers yet but there are a lot of indications that electromagnetic fields are not safe for humans. To err on the side of caution, especially in some conditions (e.g. cancer treatment, pregnancy), doctors often advise to avoid cell phone radiation as much as possible."
Emphasis mine, weasel words abound
"Mudita Pure can serve as a data modem for your notebook or desktop computer. We decided to enable tethering via USB C cable so that Pure can be used as an external GSM modem. This was a decision made to further minimize the SAR value of Pure. We consciously chose not to equip Pure with a mobile internet browser as this device supports living an offline life."
All this patented SAR reduction they talk about is a layer of copper foil between the antenna and display. It's not a good shield, .5-2.5db attenuation according to the patent, but I wonder if it could effect connectivity when the phone's laying face up on a table.
I'm bashing them but it doesn't look like a terrible product, they're just selling it as a lifestyle choice that doesn't match how I live. Dual-sim, (presumably) long-life, lightweight and streamlined design focused on doing a few things well. No backlight on the display may be a deal breaker for me but I can see the appeal for this phone.
