As daily companions, smartphones in particular are a hub of personal communication, information and activities with a complete movement profile. According to the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, not only self-determination over one's own data is under special protection, contrary to legal trends, but also free access to information.

Impulse A smartphone for more time without a smartphone or: The first smart phone. It is time for de-digitalization, time to return to reality, personal communication and the real economy. In fact, digitalization has not made everyday life easier, but more complex. According to various studies,

With its smartphones, Volla Systeme offers an unorthodox alternative to the app paradigm of the market leaders. "Think different" used to be apps decades ago. Today, it is a German company that thinks differently.
