Building an Android phone without Android's biggest selling point is a hard sell. Murena is one of the latest companies to tackle that challenge.
A small company called Murena broke into the news this week thansk to its latest Android phone release. Known for preloading old Android phones with a custom version of Android, this Murena One phone is the company’s first phone. A typical $400 phone, it’s a flat-screen slab with solid specs including a MediaTek processor, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 48-megapixel rear camera, and a 25MP selfie shooter.
For most people, this is a nonissue. For some, there’s a need for privacy and a discomfort with handing Google the keys to their online life that drives a search for Google-free smartphones — but not too free an experience. A smartphone that doesn’t support Uber, Google Maps, or Spotify would be less than ideal.
Take the example of Huawei. After being banished from access to Google Play Services by the U.S. government, the company replicated all Google once provided with its own HarmonyOS software and Huawei Mobile Services. It spent obscene amounts of cash to woo developers and signed deals with prominent regional app brand apps to build out its App Gallery. The company’s flagship phones have also had best-in-class hardware, especially with regard to cameras.
