The Murena 2, the follow-up to last year’s de-Googled and privacy-focused Murena One smartphone, is now available to back on Kickstarter. It has already received more than $156,000 in pledges.

The Murena 2, the follow-up to last year’s de-Googled and privacy-focused Murena One smartphone, is now available to back on Kickstarter and has pulled in more than $156,000, far exceeding its $26,437 goal. The big update for this new model is a physical privacy switch that, when toggled on, disconnects the front and back cameras as well as the microphones.

The apps do come from Google Play, though if you don’t want to log in to a Google account to browse, you can access the marketplace anonymously to browse apps without tracking. If you’re interested in backing Murena 2, you’re already too late for the “super early bird” and “duo early bird” tiers that have estimated delivery dates of December.
