The HIROH phone is apparently launching with /e/OS exclusively or before there is an Android version (which is great :)) ♥️
- 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage expandable up to 2TB, giving you room for everything that matters.
- A 6.67-inch AMOLED display and a camera system pairs a 108MP Samsung sensor with a 32MP Sony front lens for crisp, striking detail in every shot.
- A hardware kill switch; disconnected completely the microphone and cameras at the circuit level, leaving nothing open for intrusion.
- A software-based switch, to easily turn off all your radio signals, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC.

Fairphone doesn’t have any bloatware either (besides base google apps), yet their phones aren’t priced 1k+
But the specs aren’t comparable. The Murena phone is a higher-end device than the Fairphone. And the Fairphone does get incentives/subsidies for the Android version which is one of a few reasons the Android version is cheaper than the version sold with /e/OS.
The /e/OS version of Fairphone 6 is still almost 50% cheaper, while providing slightly higher IP rating, 3 years longer warranty, schematics for board repair and a guarantee of 8 years of software updates. In addition to that, the phone is built ethically.
Murena phone has a faster GPU (2x) and up to 36% faster CPU, but only 2 years of warranty and 5 years of spare parts. Fairphone still has spare displays on sale for Fairphone 2, which came out a decade ago.
Hiroh phone also has a “sustainability” field in the specs, which is nice and empty
