'murena one’ protects users' privacy from google and surveillance

Privacy matters

Privacy matters, and Murena knows it. As online services and operating systems in smartphones remain deeply rooted in our everyday life, bugs, security issues, and surveillance glitches can often infiltrate technology, watching one’s every move, transaction, and datum. From this worrisome foundation, the smartphone brand Murena builds its own operating system – /e/OS – to ‘give people freedom of choice, so they can regain control over their lives. We are committed to privacy with outstanding and transparent products and services that help people escape from digital surveillance.’ Murena One, an Android smartphone that safeguards the privacy of its users, is the new addition to the Murena family and a testament to their mission.

Murena One Specs

The Murena One is a 4G LTE smartphone with a 6.5 inches display. The brand has given it a punch-hole camera design in front to ‘give the users the best viewing experience,’ charged by its 25MP front camera, while three rear cameras – 48MP, 8MP, and 5MP sensors, respectively – dot the back’s photographic features. Powered by an octa-core processor and 4GB of RAM, Murena says the system gives users a smooth performance, coupled with 128GB of built-in storage and the option to expand using an SD Card. The phone also features a dual-sim setting and a 4500 mAh battery, so users can have enough power to go through their days without charging. As of now, the phone is priced at 349,00€ but is currently out of stock.

/e/OS

The in-house built operating system of Murena devoids its smartphones – which includes Fairphone, Gigaset, and Teracube – from Google services. ‘/e/OS is at the core of our privacy by design ecosystem. We have removed many pieces of code that send your personal data to remote servers without your consent. We do not scan your data in your phone or in your cloud space, and we do not track your location a hundred times a day or collect what you are doing with your apps,’ the company writes. /e/OS then sources from open-source apps to cover most of the users’ needs such as an ad-free search engine, an email platform, online secure storage, document management, calendar, ‘and many other online tools that create a unique privacy-enhanced environment. And because /e/OS runs on Android, you can still run most of your favorite Android apps,’ the company continues.
