Murena 2? A valid future option?

Privacy Questions

Hi -

I heard before about /e/os but it looks like that they are launching a de-Google phone and I started wondering if this will be a secure enough option compared to our two OS recommendation that we have here today.

No uses same shitty hardware like the Brax phone and simple phone.

You should really get a phone with good hardware security: Pixel. Nothing will match the level of security of this phone especially with the option to use GrapheneOS which is simply unmatched.

/e/OS is still shipping a version of Chromium from December of 2022: https://divestos.org/misc/ch-dates.txt

Also another point: with this Murena l you don’t get Google but you get /e/ you have to trust. What ensures you they are any better? Security wise they simply won’t be able to live up to Google and afaik they don’t use e2ee. Choose your poison imo.

And they already leaked user data to others and just kept saying Nextcloud server-side-encryption is OK.

Thank you. I think you already gave enough reason to ditch this.
