The [Punkt MC20](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mc03) smartphone is positioned as a tranquility-focused mobile device perfect for users to incorporate into their setup when looking to stay connected, but in a decidedly more meditative way. The smartphone puts a [monochromatic 6.7-inch display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-light-phone-iii) in the spotlight to combat against the overwhelming profile of full color alternatives yet boasts a triple-camera system on the rear. The device has 6GB of RAM with a 5,500mAh battery that's rated for more than 24-hours of use per charge.

The Punkt MC20 runs the [Apostrophy OS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-os-40) that sandboxes each app into its own partitioned segment to prevent apps from tracking the user's behavior across their usage. Priced at $749, the smartphone is expected to start shipping in January 2024 and comes with 12 months of free of the operating system, which will cost $17 per month thereafter.
