The developers of the /e/OS operating formula have been providing an Android-based operating formula for more than five years without Google’s proprietary programs and services. In recent years, it has even bought phones that come with /e/OS pre-installed, first in Europe and more recently in North America.
But until recently, that meant buying a third-party phone whose default software had been replaced by this “goofy” Android. Now, the Foundation has introduced a patented phone called Murena One.
The Murena One will be available in the US, Canada, Europe, the UK and Switzerland in June, and will sell for $379, $479 CAD, $291, £346 and CHF 292 respectively in each of those regions.
Like all phones sold through Foundation e, the Murena One comes with the Google Play Store, Gmail, Google Chrome, Google Maps, Google Search, or any other proprietary software that comes with most Android phones sold in countries other than China.
On the one hand, it makes phones a little less useful for some users, but it also makes them much more suitable for other people who value privacy. monitors user behavior.
Other people may decide to opt out of this tracking of a Linux phone altogether. . . but the Linux mobile is still in the works and only a few phones are preloaded with the Linux software. A desgoogleado Android phone offers the advantages of a physically powerful and open-source operating formula very similar to the software that is already shipped on billions of devices. And most Android apps will run on an /e/OS device, adding many that usually rely on Google’s mobile services, thanks to the use of microG.
That said, the Murena One is obviously not the phone for other people who need the fastest processor, maximum RAM, or maximum productive cameras. It’s a decidedly mid-range device with a MediaTek Helio P60 processor, just 4GB of RAM, and an FHD LCD display. And unlike some phones intended for enthusiasts, it doesn’t have a user-replaceable battery. . . it has a microSD card reader and a headphone jack.
Here’s a look at the main features of the Murena One:
According to Foundation e, the Murena One unlocks through the carrier, comes with a 2-year warranty, and you’ll get software updates and security updates for at least 3 years (with updates rolling out every two months).
One thing to keep in mind is that in addition to coming without some of the software that many other people usually associate with Android phones, the Murena One comes with what is necessarily an Android fork. The /e/OS software is found in LineageOS, an operating formula derived from the code of Google’s android open source project. In this case, the phone comes with the latest edition of /e/OS, but this one is based on Android 10, which is an older edition of Google’s operating system. formula. Most modern phones come with Android 12, while Google is preparing to release Android 13 later this year.

As long as you don’t want 5G, you can take a Huawei if you want an Android smartphone to Google. . .
I don’t think most people interested in traditional ROMs are proud to replace one botnet with another. This is how phones do not perform any kind of data extraction or mental manipulation of their users.
I think the point is to exaggerate a little bit what they put into the operating system. Most “apps to do something” already exist in F-Droid when, for starters, they are not a component of AOSP, however, some offer features. than others do not. Magic Earth features a complete three-dimensional style of Earth and is easier to handle than OSM
I think it’s stupid and short-sighted to use technical computers in the hope that any adjustments you make can be left alone. The merit of /e/ over Lineage is not the general ease of use, they are practically the same. that (at least when you buy a phone with it) all the hardware works out of the box and there is more determination to solve motive force problems, so you can expect VoLTE and GPS to work without having to root the device and test and engineer the correct type configuration files.
Oh, what about this particular phone? Well, as far as I know, if you don’t care if it’s stuck or bigger, it’s probably worth the difference in value between it and the Teracube they also sell.
an error, it will have to be 292 CHF in Switzerland instead of 292€ (it is 346€ in the Eurozone)
Mea culpa. They used the euro on their website, so I just copied it.
