Switch Your Privacy On with Murena 2

Yes of course, but for now for smartphone, is useless.

Directly, yes…
However, more important is my second question regarding the detailed specs: which CPU, which camera chip, dimension of the device…

These are questions I also have. I’m interested in the Murena 2, but also want to know what de specific specs are. And mainly the CPU specs and brand. My decision will be based in these specs.
For what is specified: 4x 2.1Ghz & 4x 2Ghz, it looks like a Mediatek Helio. Mediatek is virtually the only one with such a CPU core composition.

This, and bring the 3.5mm jack back and I’m sold.

Yes jack back, Galiléo for navigation and a smaller screen would make more sense for a degoogled phone.
Why do I need a brick in my pocket if I don’t use Insta or Youtube.

Pornhub? I mean scihub… I mean…

Do you have a link to see that ?

Here is the link to the mentioned “review” for the murena one on xda

Some points are valid, some are (now) wrong, some are FUD but with a valid core to discuss.

One example that comes to my mind where murena has to think about is already mentioned from AnotherElk here “You can install any of your favorite apps.”

It gives a false impression. You can really do that but not all will work ;- )

None of the points in the review represents anything new for me! Anyone who has been dealing with the topic for a while and knows one of the few alternatives of “de-Googled” smartphones knows the high level of Murena.

A review in German at the Galaxus homepage:
https://www.galaxus.de/de/page/privatsphaere-auf-knopfdruck-smartphone-murena-2-finanziert-29924

All in all the article from Adam Conway to some degree seems biased or badly written because he “forgets” one major point where eOS excels:

All the preinstalled vendor and OEM tracker, spy and bloatware which isn’t present in eOS which results in a dramatically better privacy and battery life!

Given the fact that the Murena 2 is not available to the public naturally not really a review in my understanding of the word but rather a short presentation.

Why would you contribute if you are so convinced Murena One was bad? Was it just to access the comment section? And why create a profile on this forum just to show us the answer from Murena?

All this seems very strange to me.

This forum collects experiences from users of Murena One, Android Auto, Magisk etc for years now. If I wanted to invest, the first thing I’d do would be to ask people here. The experience people have here is much more valuable than a single review, and you would have found satisfactory answers (or not) to the things that are important to you and then decide for yourself if you want to back Murena Two or not.

Without influencing potential backers…

Will this new Murena 2 be supported with OTA firmwareupdates like the fairphones ?
One thing that is really annoying is the lack of information regarding which phone will have to best sustainable support from the /e/os murena team. In the past it looks like fairphone 3 & 4 had more frequent updates and firmware updates than the murena.

I would really like more information on the online shop as to which is the recommended phone.
It is truly appreciable that /e/os is still up to date and available for so many devices, but in the end I would prefer /e/ os to tell us which is the reference model that receives more tests, updates sooner and firmwares updates.

Questioning the project is normal, we do it on the forum btw. Throwing a bad review on the campaign page saying to potential backers “Here is what you should expect”, is something else.
