Those looking for a Google-free mobile operating system for their smartphone or tablet, while still based on Android, have few options these days. However, having such a software environment is not costly or impossible either. One of these efforts is /e/OS from Murena, which has just been updated to version 3.6. While the most important part is the integration of this piece of code into Android 16 domain, there are several other changes worth mentioning.
Without further ado, here are some highlights of the Murena 3.6 update:
- The latest fixes and security updates found in LineageOS 23.0.
- The browser has been updated to version 145.0.7632.159.
- AOSP 16 security patches from March 2026.
- Possibility to log in with the microG account directly from App Lounge.
- The Camera app is easier to navigate.
- Simplified enterprise enrollment as devices can now be provisioned directly from the first setup wizard.
The list of supported devices goes back over a decade, including devices like those from the Google Pixel 4 range, but Murena 3.6 also supports newer devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, Xiaomi 13 Pro, and Google Pixel 9 family. Those who do not want to bother with installing the operating system can also get one of the many pre-installed devices currently available, which can be found on this page: Murena Smartphones.
