Your data is YOUR data!
An iPhone or an Android smartphone collects several megabytes of your personal data every day to Google Servers, even when it is inactive.
Murena smartphones have been designed to offer a different approach to users who care about privacy and data-hungry handsets.
Those smartphones are running the open-source “/e/OS” operating system, which is fully “deGoogled”: by default it doesn’t send any data to Google and it’s been designed to offer a great and natural user experience.
/e/OS is paired with carefully selected applications. They form a privacy-enabled internal system for your Murena smartphone. And it’s not just claims: open-source means auditable privacy.
I’ve been using it for like 3 years now on my Fairphone FP3(somewhat-plus)
It’s pretty usable.
But damn! That name is ridiculously bad.
They took “de-googled” so far that you can’t even “google” the project by it’s name. /s
I hate how /e/os looks so much like IOS. If i wanted IOS i would buy an iphone. That launcher and those icons make me never want to install it ever.
You can install your own launcher - I prefer the KISS launcher, which is great at getting out of your way and just do exactly what you want it to do as efficiently as possible.
I don’t know how iOS looks, so no problem for me.
