Smartphones are one of the most powerful communication tools in history but can be overtly distracting, so the Punkt MP01 phone has been developed to help users break their addiction to the device.
The mobile phone doesn't feature any app icons or even Internet access, which works to help users to only pick up the devices when they need to make a call and put it away afterward. This acknowledges the rising prevalence of technology addiction as consumers find it harder to resist using their smartphone at all times given the constant stream of notifications and information they receive.
The Punkt MP01 mobile phone features a glass-fiber body along with a Gorilla Glass screen and will provide about four hours of talk time or up to 20 days of standby time per charge.
