"Murena is what Android would be like if it was a mobile operating system for users rather than a cluttered ad platform which happened to run apps."

•For example you cannot look up their specs, since the hardware is #fairphone or #samsung, or the os is /E/. 🙂
(Also I am not sure, by looking at it, that it is a "brand", since it creates neither hardware nor OS, just sell rebranded phones under their own name.)

•- Murena FAIRPHONE4
- Murena Fairphone 3+ Refurbished
- Murena Galaxy S9+ Refusbished
And yes, I see one phone called "Murena One", it might be original. It if it, they should work putting it on GsmArena for example for comparison.
Thanks for helping me to find it!

•It is the same as "windows is cluttered with ads" or "computers are cluttered with ads": yes, the applications are, but the OS isn't.
The ads are mainly in the apps, so do not use apps that show ads, and nothing will be cluttered. Also data sharing can be _mostly_ disabled without rooting.

•This is my _opinion_, and not a generally accepted fact. 😉

•Android is Linux + AOSP components. I believe even the data collection isn't part of Android but part of the bundled system apps. It would worth some time to actually list the apps do the tracking, it'd be rather simple to do on a rooted phone. Just needed time, which I don't possess. 🤷
