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 installed it on my Fairephone4. Have to say i'm pretty impressed, everything works fine including maps and bank application. They really managed microG well.

The only probleme I got in the last 6 month is that I can't installe paying app on my phone. I created a google account to connect to the app store but the page to pay just never load. That's not a big deal for me anyway.

I recommend if your phone is compatible.

Similar experiences on the Fairphone 3. MicroG is fantastic - everything you unfortunately need from Google services, but in a way that maintains your privacy.

At least on the Fairphone 3, downloading an apk for the Google camera app turned out to be a lifesaver though - the open source camera applications were unfortunately not capable of producing as good pictures, which is very important to me. :)

Fairphone seems to work close together with eOS.

I don't contactless payment apps work on any deGoogled operating system. They require Google services which have been removed.
