Murena phones are basically Fairphone with /e/OS https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki//e/_(operating_system) with IMHO compare to GrapheneOS.
Their privacy features are really good. It replace Google Services with an open source equivalent. Not sure I can deploy Google applications.
The result is a smartphone mostly degoogled, a good UX and you 'feel' the privacy features without being annoyed by them.
EDIT: changed "completely degoogled" to "mostly degoogled".
One of the main features of Fairphones is that they are easily repairable - it doesn't look like Murena has done anything to make it easier to fix.
Yes it is the same hardware. Only provided by a company preloaded with /e/OS. It is not easier to repair, it is the same.
They don't look the same though. I've only been to the Murena website and looked at their "phone 2", that's not the same hardware as Fairphone.
Edit: okay, I should have scrolled down a bit more. It looks like they made a " Murena Fairphone" too, where they've given a Fairphone the Murena treatment.
