Punkt推出新款智能手机,专为厌倦智能手机的人群设计

内容总结:

德国科技公司Punkt近期发布新款手机MC03,一改其以往经典“非智能”功能机设计,首次采用主流智能手机形态。该设备配备120Hz OLED大屏、四后置摄像头及5200mAh可拆卸电池,外观与普通安卓手机无异,但内置独特的AphyOS隐私操作系统。

该系统通过简化界面设计强化隐私保护:主界面仅以黑白文字列表展示应用,并采用“保险库”与“开放网络”双模块架构。“保险库”预装经认证的安全应用(如Proton系列隐私工具),“开放网络”区域则允许用户在严格隐私防护下自主安装其他应用。厂商宣称该系统能有效阻断追踪程序、预装软件及后台间谍行为。

值得注意的是,MC03采用订阅制收费模式。手机售价699美元(约合人民币5000元),使用一年后需支付每月10美元(约合人民币72元)的系统服务费,长期订阅可享优惠。该产品将于今春在北美上市,目前已在欧洲开放预售。

科技评论指出,这种将硬件销售与系统服务费捆绑的模式,或将推动市场对“隐私价值”的重新审视。在智能手机高度同质化的当下,Punkt以“付费换隐私”的差异化策略开辟细分市场,其市场接受度仍有待观察。

中文翻译:

如果你曾考虑过将智能手机换成功能机,或许听说过Punkt这个品牌。这家德国公司的MP01和MP02手机刻意回避"智能"属性——它们采用极简主义塑料机身,配备微型显示屏和硕大的实体按键阵列。拥有这类Punkt设备的意义不在于让你终日滑动手机屏幕,而是让你仅在必要时使用手机,且确保使用过程的私密性。

MC03初看与普通智能手机无异
该公司的MC0系列产品线略有调整,最新款MC03也延续了这一趋势。尽管仍聚焦隐私保护与极简理念,但这款新设备从外观上几乎与市面其他安卓手机别无二致。实体按键和微型显示屏已消失不见,取而代之的是支持120Hz刷新率的大尺寸OLED屏,顶部还配备了前置摄像头。翻转MC03机身,你会看到后置四摄模组位于背板左上角区域。除了右下角醒目的"Punkt"标识,这完全可能被误认为任意品牌的手机。

MC03与三星或摩托罗拉手机的本质区别在于其内在配置,尤其是操作系统。开机后你不会看到排列整齐的应用图标和小组件,取而代之的是纯文字的应用功能列表,没有任何图标或色彩装饰。这种极简界面设计与现代智能手机的显示屏形成鲜明对比,或许会吸引追求极致简约体验的用户。

这是因为MC03并未搭载安卓系统。与Punkt前代产品相同,这款设备运行由Apostrophe开发的AphyOS操作系统。这款定制系统以隐私保护为核心卖点,Punkt将其全面应用于MC03。据官方介绍,AphyOS能拦截追踪与用户画像工具,杜绝预装软件、隐藏应用和后台服务侵扰。报道称该系统还通过"强化代码"技术抵御监控行为,有效阻断各类攻击。

《科技前沿》通讯
该公司表示这款新手机通过两大核心"存储区"实现数据与功能分离:首先是"保险库"区域,内含经Punkt认证的应用及极简界面。Proton作为受信企业,其旗下Proton Mail邮件、Proton Calendar日历、Proton Drive云盘、Proton VPN和Proton Pass密码管理器均预置于此。其次是"开放网络"区域,允许用户在严格的安全防护和隐私设置框架下自由安装应用。用户既可从Punkt以隐私保护为核心的应用商店下载(内含经AphyOS和Punkt双重认证的程序),也可访问提供"广泛可用应用"的商店获取资源。

除显示屏外,Punkt宣称该设备还具备多项硬件优势:包括现代智能手机罕见的5200mAh可拆卸电池、IP68级防尘防水能力以及6400万像素摄像头。

MC03的隐私保护并非免费
然而所有这些功能都需要持续付费。首年使用期满后,用户需以每月10美元的价格订阅AphyOS服务。也可选择129美元订阅三年(月均5.38美元)或199美元订阅五年(月均4.15美元)。手机本身售价699美元,对于该配置机型而言相对昂贵,因此隐私保护与极简特性是否物有所值,最终取决于用户个人判断。(作为隐私保护的坚定拥护者,我必须承认MC03需要展现出足够吸引力,才能让我接受其操作系统的订阅制模式。)若你无意更换手机,现有设备也能通过技术调整实现功能简化,当然在任何设备上都有相应措施可以提升隐私保护。

MC03目前尚未正式发售。Punkt于下周国际消费电子展前夕公布了这款新品,并宣布将于今年春季在北美上市。欧洲地区现已开放预售通道。

If you've ever looked into trading in your smartphone for a dumbphone, you might have stumbled across Punkt. The German-based company's MP01 and MP02 phone were purposely not "smart;" rather, they were minimalist slabs of plastic, sporting a tiny display and an array of large, physical buttons. The point of owning one of these Punkt devices isn't to sit scrolling on your smartphone for hours on end; it's to use your phone when you need to—privately, at that.
The MC03 looks like any other smartphone at first
The company's MC0 line flips the script a bit, and that doesn't change with the latest: MC03. While there's still a focus on privacy and minimalism, this newest device is virtually indistinguishable from other Android smartphones on the market—at least, in outward appearance. Gone are the physical buttons and tiny display; now, you have a large 120Hz OLED display, complete with a selfie camera at the top. Flip the MC03 around, and you'll find a set of four rear cameras, corralled in the top-left corner of the back. Aside from the large "Punkt" logo in the bottom right, this really could be any other phone.
What separates the MC03 from phones from Samsung or Motorola is what's on the inside, including, namely, the OS. When you open the phone, you aren't greeted by a grid of app icons and widgets. Instead, you see a list of app and function names, without icons or colors. This is just about as simple an interface as you can expect from a device with a modern smartphone display, which may appeal to those who are looking for a minimalist experience.
That's because the MC03 isn't running Android. Like previous Punkt phones, this device runs AphyOS, an operating system built by Apostrophe. This custom OS is advertised as a privacy-focused operating system, something Punkt runs with for the MC03. According to the company, AphysOS can block tracking and profiling tools, and keeps out bloatware, hidden apps, and background services. The OS can also reportedly fight against spying with "hardened code" to block attacks.
The Download Newsletter
The company says this new phone separates data and functions in two key "repositories:" First, there's the "Vault," which includes Punkt-approved apps and that minimalist UI. Proton is a trusted company here, so you can expect to find Proton Mail, Proton Calendar, Proton Drive, Proton VPN, and Proton Pass in the Vault. Second, there's "Wild Web," which lets you install any app you want, against a strict system of safeguards and privacy settings. You can choose to download apps from either Punkt's privacy-focused app store, featuring programs approved by both AphyOS and Punkt, as well as a store with "widely available apps."
In addition to that display, Punkt says the device comes with other hardware perks, like a 5,200mAh removable battery—a rarity with modern smartphone—IP68 water and dust resistance, and a 64MP camera.
Privacy isn't free on the MC03
All those features come at a recurring cost, however. After one year, you'll need to pay for AphyOS, which charges $10 per month. You can also choose to subscribe for three years for $129 ($5.38 per month), or five years for $199 ($4.15 per month). The phone itself costs $699, which is relatively expensive for a phone of this caliber, so whether or not the privacy and minimalism perks are worth the price will really come down to the individual customer. (I'm a huge privacy advocate, but the MC03 would definitely need to impress me before I commit to a subscription model for its OS.) If you don't want a new phone, there are hacks to dumb down your existing device into something more minimal—and, of course, there are steps you can take to protect your privacy on any device.
The MC03 isn't available yet. Punkt announced the new phone ahead of CES next week, and says the new device will launch in North America this spring. Pre-orders are currently available in Europe.
