Hiroh: A secure smartphone running Android 16 with a physical mute button.

Murena has officially launched pre-orders for Hiroh, a smartphone specifically designed to protect user privacy. This device is notable for combining physical disconnection solutions with an operating system completely cleaned of data-collecting code commonly found on typical smartphones.

Maximum security from the hardware layer.

The biggest difference between Hiroh and other mainstream smartphones today is the presence of a physical kill switch (hardware kill switch). This feature allows users to directly cut off power to the camera and microphone.

Unlike disabling access within software, which can still be compromised by security vulnerabilities or malware, physical disabling ensures that no application can activate these sensors without the owner's permission. This provides absolute peace of mind in information-sensitive environments.

The /e/OS operating system is based on Android 16.

In terms of software, Hiroh runs on /e/OS, a customized version developed based on Android 16. Murena stated that they have removed all source code that collects data and tracks user behavior, which is commonly found in Google's default services. The result is a cleaner, more secure Android ecosystem while maintaining high flexibility and application compatibility.

Powerful hardware configuration

Despite its focus on security, the Hiroh is by no means lacking in technical specifications. It features a high-end AMOLED display, delivering a sharp visual experience while being energy-efficient. The main camera boasts a resolution of up to 108 MP, allowing for the capture of highly detailed images.

Below is a summary of the device's key specifications:

Murena has now begun accepting pre-orders for this model. With its combination of controllable hardware and non-tracking software, Hiroh is positioning itself as a top choice for enterprise and individual customers particularly concerned about cybersecurity.
