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'm probably just overly paranoid, but I don't trust that Google, in particular, would make the most easily rooted phone (Pixel) without burying something beneath the os that still tracks things.
I'm more excited about something akin to the Fairphone that's built from the ground up with no relationship to Google.
You are not alone with this thoughts. Purism
offers phones that have the open source deeply in mind. You can even check xRays of their board.
