I spent $500 on a Murena only for the thing to brick a month later because the cord or whatever connecting the rechargable battery to the rest of the phone somehow split off. Would’ve been open to shipping the thing back to them for a repair/replacement since a local shop was unable to do so, but they use UPS for shipping and there was no way in hell I was going to deal with the absolute mess it was to receive the phone to begin with a second time.
I bought the Murena One since it was the cheapest model that was close to the specs of my phone at the time. Figured $500 was already overpaying considering how much lower cost my previous phone was, but also, who the hell thinks about a $500 phone bricking in a month? I just find it inexcusable regardless.
I remember wanting to get the removable battery, but they didn’t offer that with the One, and I’d be losing specs if I got a model in my budget that did have one. I also wasn’t going to spend over a grand for a phone with the Fairphone models available through them at the time.
GraphineOS is the epitome of paying against your values then using foss without giving back.
Murena sells phones with e/os already installed, and there seems to be others too where you can buy a phone: iodé , jolla, pine64, pureos,

You did get the fairphone model right? The one brand that’s repairable?
