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.

    With Aurora store you can install all Apps, no matter of banking apps or other Android apps.

      Worth mentioning to those unfamiliar with e/os is it comes with a built in app store “app lounge” that also has access to play store apps so you don’t even need to go to the effort of installing aurora. One less thing you have to do

      Unfortunately not ALL apps. Certain apps have checks in place to detect if they were installed from the Play Store or not, and if they don’t, they won’t start and ask you to reinstall. I have to be careful ful which apps I update through Aurora.

      It’s absolute horseshit and goes against the entire open ecosystem thing but what can we do.

      That being said with how ad ridden the Play Store is, I’m glad I never have to open it unless it’s to open one of those stupid apps.

      I have yet to be able to install anything from Aurora. The account is always limit exceeded or something like that.

      I’m sure there’s a workaround but it’s not a plug and play solution for everyone.

      This is not e/OS’s fault though.

        Yeah, the anonymous accounts are kind of annoying. If I go into the settings and swap 2-3 times I’ll usually get one that works and lets me search. I’ve installed 6 or so apps this way.
