The start-up Murena is once again focussing on data protection: the camera and microphones on the new Murena 2 smartphone can be switched off using a switch button and it runs without Google services. Funding has now been secured without any problems.

The Kickstarter campaign for the Murena 2 is actually still running until November. The start-up set itself a target of 25,000 euros for the realisation of its smartphone with a focus on data protection. The target was far exceeded: Over 80,000 euros have now been raised.

A smartphone with secure features

The Murena 2 is a mid-range smartphone with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display and a resolution of 2,400 × 1,080 pixels. The built-in octa-core processor achieves clock speeds of up to 2.1 GHz. It is equipped with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB internal memory. A 4000 mAh battery is also installed.

The Murena 2 has three cameras. The main sensor has 64 megapixels. There is also a telephoto camera with 13 megapixels and an ultra-wide-angle camera with 5 megapixels.

The device focuses on data protection. This is why the cameras - together with the microphones - can be deactivated. This is done using a switch that physically interrupts the electronic connection. If you move the slider to the other side, the data connection is interrupted and you are in flight mode.

The cloud services are also selected with a focus on data protection. 1 GB is freely available. You can purchase additional storage space via a plan up to 2 TB.

Earlybird price until November

In my world, Super Mario chases Stormtroopers with a unicorn and Harley Quinn mixes cocktails for Eddie and Peter at the beach bar. Wherever I can live out my creativity, my fingers tingle. Or maybe it's because nothing flows through my veins but chocolate, glitter and coffee.
