Be in control over your life

We believe privacy is a fundamental right and people need freedom of choice. This is why we’re bringing pro-privacy devices with secure mobile services into the game, giving an opportunity to people to escape the big tech’s digital surveillance.

Your phone leaks tons of data without you knowing it

Even when your phone is charging or resting in your pocket, several megabits of data are leaked out from your device every minute.


 

These are some alarming numbers. This indiscriminate data harvest raises concerns about our data getting stored in third party servers, where there isn’t much control or transparency over how these data are treated.

In spite of all claims, providing users with qualified ads may not be the only thing that the big-techs can do with our data. In practical terms, all these data can serve multiple purposes, including being sold to any corporations.

We’re under a surveillance

In a world where unscrupulous corporations, hackers, and online scammers are lurking around, it’s not just businesses that should be worried about their data. Individuals are also at risk of having their sensitive information stolen. Our browsing history and online habits may seem trivial compared to the potential threat of unauthorized actors accessing our personal data or even compromising the confidentiality of organizations.

This very method was reported in the famous Wikimedia v. NSA case, where government agencies are accused of being mass surveilling people.

 

How can we bullet-proof our devices against unauthorized interception?

Using our pro-privacy operating system /e/OS is the first step. But everyone should adopt additional measures for protecting their online privacy further.

However, even when your camera or microphone are not in use, the hardware connections in your phone still allow it to be remotely controlled by hackers.

While cam covers can partially solve this issue, they are very inconvenient to use and still leave the microphone vulnerable. This is why we’re aiming at bringing additional privacy protection into our range of smartphones, with effective anti-interception mechanisms.

Introducing the Murena 2:

 

 

Privacy at your fingertip!

Privacy shouldn’t be a complication. It needs to be accessible for everyone. The privacy switch allows you to control your microphones and cameras directly, with only an action from your finger! Move it down and your cameras and microphones are switched off, and move it up to turn them back on.

Not only is this a convenient and swift way to increase your privacy, but also a solid guarantee that your life is not being snooped around anymore.

/e/OS inside

A very private device needs a very private operating system. This is why we’re combining /e/OS together into this cutting edge device. Our ambition is to create the upmost pro-privacy smartphone in the privacy landscape.

The Murena 2 & /e/OS’ applications

With /e/OS you can browse websites on the internet, make and receive phone calls and send emails, just like in any other regular phone. The Murena 2 is your phone for every situation, but with superior privacy.

 

 

/e/OS also counts on secure cloud services powered by open-source

Being safe against online monitoring is fundamental, but we need other simple things like saving our pictures taken with our device in a safe place. Creating a pro-privacy phone needs trustworthy and private cloud services built on the same privacy principles, so we don’t leave our users dependent on big-tech’s cloud services.

This is why we’ve launched Murena Cloud, a set of online services with privacy built-in. Murena Cloud can be used as an independent solution or synced with your Murena smartphone to securely store your pictures, videos, or documents.

 

 

Great camera, solid performance and premium hardware

You can turn off your camera, but you can also take great pictures! When it comes to camera quality the Murena 2 won’t leave you disappointed. You can choose from a set of multiple lenses to take quality shots in high-definition.
