Murena has launched a new Kickstarter campaign for a smartphone with a built-in privacy switch

Murena has launched a new Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a new smartphone with a built-in privacy switch, writes The Verge.

Murena develops smartphones with a focus on security and privacy. Thus, the company sells smartphones with the /e/OS operating system, from which all Google services are completely cut out.

The new smartphone will have two physical switches. The first one will turn off the front and rear cameras and the microphone. The second one will turn on airplane mode, which will completely disconnect the smartphone from the network and put the device into do not disturb mode.

On the other hand, the smartphone will have a 6.43-inch screen with a resolution of 1080 by 2400 pixels, 128 gigabytes of storage, a MediaTek Helio P70 chip, and a 4000 mAh battery. As for the cameras, the smartphone will have a 25-megapixel front camera and a triple camera on the back: a 64-megapixel main camera, a 13-megapixel telephoto camera, and a 5-megapixel wide-angle camera.

By joining the campaign on Kickstarter, the smartphone can be pre-ordered for €399, €100 cheaper than it will cost after release.
