This reeks of scam from miles away. The Hiroh website has no clue that /e/OS is still built on top of Android so comparing it to Linux phones is like comparing apples to oranges. "Privacy by default" but no mention of open sourcing the kernel, should I just blindly trust a new company? "Zero tracking" - what about MicroG? It still sends data to Google and most people will need MicroG for their banking and other crucial apps to work. As for /e/, you're basically swapping Google for Murena, it's like leaving from one abusive man to the other and hoping the next one will be better. A lot of false advertising and gaslighting in their community as well. The /e/ team were also caught manipulating their Wikipedia article and were subsequently banned. There's even a fork called LeOS which stands for Leaving eOS that goes stricter on the deGoogling. Anyway, you can't trust anyone but especially these clowns.

Murena has started taking pre-orders for the Hiroh privacy phone. The privacy-first device has a physical hardware kill switch for the camera and microphone, and comes with an AMOLED display and a 108 MP camera. It runs /e/OS, a customized version of Android stripped of data-collecting code.
