Murena, known for offering deGoogled smartphones, has introduced a privacy-centric Pixel Tablet running on its /e/OS system. This tablet diverges from Google's Android by eliminating pre-installed Google apps and services, featuring instead a privacy-focused Android experience on its 10.95-inch LCD display.

The device is available with 128 GB of internal storage and 8 GB RAM, retailing for €539 or $549. Users will find the app marketplace App Lounge in place of the Google Play Store, facilitating anonymous downloads from Google Play and F-Droid, though access to paid apps still requires a Google account sign-in.

In its continuous effort to break away from Google, Murena provides privacy-focused alternatives like Workspace for file storage and office suite needs, offering up to 1 GB of free storage. While recreating a complete app ecosystem without any Google ties is challenging, Murena strives to cater to users demanding greater privacy control.
