The new Punkt MC03 smartphone is set to be unveiled at CES 2026 next week, with its US launch scheduled for Spring 2026 following a European release at the end of January. This device features a 6.67-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, a substantial 5,200 mAh removable battery, and a dual-camera system including a 64MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide camera.
What distinguishes the Punkt MC03 is its operating system, “AphyOS,” which is privacy-centric and built on Android 15. This subscription-based OS does not track user behavior, allowing for greater control over apps and data usage. Users receive the first year of AphyOS at no cost, but subsequent access will require a fee of €9.99/month or a bundled discount for up to five years, emphasizing the company's commitment to privacy without relying on ads or data monetization.
While the smartphone can function without the subscription, it will revert to a basic version of Android if the fee is not maintained. The Punkt MC03 aims to provide a secure and user-controlled mobile experience, supported by additional services such as cloud storage and privacy-focused applications.
