First “unGoogled” Android smartphones coming soon in 2019 with /e/OS/

Responding to widespread concerns over data abuse by tech giants and location marketing companies making headline news daily all over the globe, the /e/ Foundation opens up a new chapter for the smartphone industry by introducing the first smartphones with /e/OS/, the privacy-by-design open-source smartphone operating system & online services that puts the privacy and safety of users’ data first. This is an important issue and privacy and security needs to be improved rapidly and as a top priority for these companies, otherwise they may find themselves losing customers to those companies who can do so.

Refurbished Smartphones

We source proven compatible and premium grade refurbished phones per our customers’ requests and have our system installed by professional technicians.

” Re-use of refurbished smartphones is an amazing way of reducing landfill use and helping reduce our impact on the environment. You get a “like new” experience at a reduced price. Combined with our privacy-by-design OS, it sets a new paradigm for everyone, based on stronger ethics” said Duval

The devices will start shipping in June with the /e/OS/ pre-installed. /e/OS is a mobile ecosystem that is made of a fully “unGoogled” operating system forked from Android, yet compatible with Android applications, and the /e/ online services: Cloud drive, search engine, email, calendar… all usable with a single /e/ identity.

About /e/

Started in 2018 by Gaël Duval, open source veteran and founder of Mandrake Linux, the /e/OS/ open source mobile OS ecosystem offers users full privacy by default and with easy controls. While other mobile platforms offer some privacy toggling often buried behind confusing settings or promote privacy while simultaneously pushing data hungry search engines, /e/ offers a better solution that keeps users’ data private by default and stops data flows that don’t benefit users, saving battery and bandwidth.

What makes /e/ unique

/e/OS/ is a unique privacy-by-design platform that combines a mobile operating system, carefully selected apps, and online associated services, fully “unGoogled” yet compatible with any Android applications. With its emphasis on design and convenience, /e/ is meant for everyone, not just “early adopters”.
