Hence, it is safe to say that this is not a re-brand. + +However, [Murena][2] as a new startup company seems to be a separate commercial entity that will focus on encouraging mainstream users to try e/OS/ and promote the use of smartphones that support the operating system. + +The creator of /e/OS mentioned the following about the company: + +![][3] + +### /e/OS v1.0: What’s New? + +With the latest upgrade to the operating system, they aim to make things more accessible, improving the ease of use while still keeping privacy in mind. + +A new app store (App Lounge) and a new privacy tool (Advanced Privacy) have been introduced with the update. + +**App Lounge**: The new application installer lets you install numerous open-source applications and PWAs (Progress Web Apps). It also informs you of existing trackers in each application before you install it. + +![][4] + +I believe the existence of a tailored app store will help eliminate confusion for new users, whether they should try installing the Play Store or F-Droid with /e/OS. + +In addition to that, the Advanced Privacy tool will help limit exposing users’ data after they install third-party applications. + +You will also find a Murena cloud service as a private email account service and cloud storage if you want to get away from the big tech. The email service offers features to also hide your original email address. + +### Murena One + +![][5] + +The first Murena branded smartphone will be launching later in June and will ship to users in the USA, Canada, Europe, UK, and Switzerland. + +The smartphone will sport a 6.5-inch display, with a 25 Megapixel front shooter, and a rear camera setup with three sensors that include 48 MP, 8 MP, and 5 MP. + +We do not have clarity on the processor, but it mentions an octa-core chip coupled with 4 GB of RAM. All this is powered by a 4500 mAh battery. + +In addition to its first smartphone, you can also purchase smartphones by Fairphone and Teracube from its official website that packs in /e/OS out of the box. + +### Wrapping Up + +You can explore more about the new /e/OS upgrade, cloud services, and available smartphones on its official website. + +[Murena][6] + +The pricing for the smartphone hasn’t been disclosed in the press release. So, we suggest you to keep an eye on it if you’re interested. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/murena-e-os/ + +作者:[Ankush Das][a] +选题:[lkxed][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lkxed +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/murena.jpg +[2]: https://murena.com/ +[3]: https://news.itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/murena-quote.jpeg +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/eos-app-lounge-1024x1024.jpg +[5]: https://news.itsfoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/murena-one-1024x576.jpeg +[6]: https://murena.com/
