I am toying with the idea of buying the GS6 with Murena e/os, but there is very little information about this phone. I was wondering if somebody had tried it

    I had the same problem with lack of information before I bought a phone with /e/OS.

    I bought a Fairphone Gen.6 a few months ago and love it! My bank and government apps work on it, which surprised me, but the OS was pre-installed and had the bootloader locked which probably helped.

    Battery life is very good (I can leave it on standby for up to four days) and it had some solid choices for pre-installed apps. The one thing I didn’t like was the launcher / home screen so I switched it out for one with more features.

    Basically /e/OS looks and behaves like stock Android except for the privacy invasive stuff. There is an app on the phone that blocks and shows you all the trackers in other apps on your phone. Ironically Murena’s own apps seem to be some of the worst offenders, but their privacy app blocks them.
