Even though the Murena Fairphone 4 is two years old and has a mid-range Qualcomm chip from 2020, it is much more than just its technical specifications. It is a privacy-focused gadget with a version of Android that is disconnected from Google, for starters. [caption id="attachment_186082" align="aligncenter" width="2050"] Image credit : NotebookCheck[/caption] The /e/ operating system by Murena shuns Google's stock applications. For instance, you'll automatically receive an open-source substitute for Google Maps. Each app is rated for privacy in the device's own directory. As a result, before installing an app, you will be aware of how it collects your data. Google-made applications are still installable. Murena claims to be able to download programs from the Play Store without sending your data to Google. You are free to install a stock version of Android, however Murena cautions you against doing so as it will lose your warranty. For what it's worth, European customers who purchase the Fairphone 4 have the option of receiving either stock Android or /e/ out of the box. For at least five years, Murena intends to supply software updates and security patches, while Fairphone offers a five-year hardware guarantee. Due to the company's emphasis on repairability, the Fairphone is a durable smartphone. The Fairphone 4 has an iFixit repairability rating of 10 out of 10. It is touted to be the first such phone with an IP classification of IP54 and features a modular architecture. Thus, the phone needs to be shielded from the elements like rain and dust. You can replace any component with a standard screwdriver because none of the parts are bonded together. [caption id="attachment_186083" align="aligncenter" width="648"] Image credit : Fairphone[/caption] The Murena Fairphone 4 includes dual-SIM compatibility, 5G, and a 3905mAh battery. You'll get a dual 48MP rear camera and a 25MP selfie camera on the camera front. Murena sells replacement parts for the device's body, camera array, speakers, USB-C connector, and 6.3-inch display separately. A USB cable, power adapter, or headphones are not included with the Murena Fairphone 4 in the box. Murena offers those separately in order to encourage customers to utilize cables and adapters they may already have stashed away.
