Presented for the first time in November 2023, the PunktMC02 has won important awards at two of the most prestigious technology festivals. The smartphone won the Best Software Award at CES 2024 in Las Vegas and Best of MWC (Android Authority) at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
These two awards highlight the company’s successful approach aimed at increasing awareness of how we use our smartphones and how we can protect our personal data.
Punkt MC02 is a smartphone – or rather a smarter phone, as the company puts it – which stands out both for its refined design and, most of all, its uncompromising vision of privacy.
Getting to know the Punkt MC02
The heart of the Punkt MC02 is its Apostrophe operating system which is based on Graphene OS and known for its strict security and privacy controls. This choice gives users complete control over their data and allows them to even go without Google, leading to greater peace of mind for those who prize privacy above all else.
Apostrophe not only guarantees complete privacy, but offers new functionalities with the introduction of dedicated apps, like contacts, email archiving, and much more. Some of its most interesting features include the VPN Digital Nomad app, which protects navigation data, and Swiss servers for cloud archiving, which ensures a greater level of security and privacy.
Total control over data with Carbon and Data Ledger
However, the true innovation of the Punkt MC02 lies in the Carbon and Data Ledger which offers users with comprehensive control over which data can be shared by apps. This tool allows one to block or allow specific authorizations based on one’s needs, guaranteeing unprecedented control over one’s own privacy.
