The HIROH Phone Powered by Murena is available to pre-order internationally now, including UK and USA
Available for pre-order now internationally (including UK and USA) from Murena, it is the very first smartphone exclusively available with Murena’s /e/OS, a deGoogled open-source mobile operating system that does not collect user data and offers enhanced privacy features which give users control over their data, even when using third-party apps.
The HIROH Phone Powered by Murena is unique in that it boasts enhanced privacy in combination with flagship-level specs – along with privacy kill switches, which cut off the phone’s cameras and microphones – while still offering all the features and technology expected in an everyday device.
Two Privacy Switch Buttons
The HIROH phone is equipped with two dedicated privacy switches that puts users in full control:
- Cameras & Microphone Switch: This is a physical hardware kill switch that cuts power at the circuit level, ensuring the cameras and microphone are completely disabled. Once switched off, they cannot be accessed — not by apps, not by the system, and not even by hackers.
- Connectivity Switch: This is a secure toggle that instantly shuts down all wireless communication, including cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC.
Together, these two switches ensure the phone only connects, listens, or sees when users decide — making unauthorized access virtually impossible and setting a new benchmark for real-world mobile privacy
Premium Materials
The HIROH Phone Powered by Murena combines premium materials such as an aluminum frame like the iPhone 17, with powerful performance and absolute privacy. At the heart of the device is the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 processor, delivering flagship-level performance for both privacy-focused users and everyday use alike. Backed by 16GB of RAM and a generous 512GB of internal storage, it is built to handle intensive multitasking, gaming, video playback, and all the apps people love and use.
The device has a stunning 6.67” 1.5K AMOLED display delivering crystal clarity with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1800-nit peak brightness, protected by durable Gorilla Glass Victus.
The Hiroh Phone Powered by Murena boasts a spectacular 108MP Samsung main sensor, a 13MP Sony ultra-wide lens, and a macro lens on the back, as well as a 32MP Sony front selfie camera, giving its users the abilty to take the type of high quality photos normally reserved premium smartphones. The Hiroh Phone Powered by Murena has a 5000mAh high-density battery with fast 33W USB-C charging, while 5G, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2 keep users connected when they choose to be.
The HIROH Phone Powered by Murena is a breakthrough in the fight for mobile privacy, delivered in a premium form factor designed for everyday use,” says Alexander Barangan, CTO of HIROH, “between our secure switch, which electronically cuts off access to the camera and microphone, our premium features, and access to the world’s largest app store, the HIROH Phone allows for both security and functionality — making your secure phone your everyday phone, all in one
