There’s one phone that really stands out from the rest at this year’s Mobile World Congress and it’s proving surprisingly popular with Aussies.
Punkt takes away the distraction. Source:Supplied As smartphone brands try and outdo each other with the craziest new designs and cutting edge technology, to keep us glued to our phones, a Swiss company called Punkt is taking a decidedly different tack. In the smartphone wars, Mobile World Congress is the annual battleground where the major brands jostle for attention with the most ostentatious displays and press events showcasing their latest offerings .
But it’s the lightweight, ergonomic and solid design of the Punkt device that generates appeal. The company started about 10 years ago with the help of renowned British industrial designer Jasper Morrison as the company’s art director. This year is the company’s first MWC. Previously you were more likely to find them spruiking at a design fair. The MP02 has a solid yet light body reinforced with fibreglass and finished with an abrasion-resistant coating.
