HIROH secure smartphone features both hardware and software kill switches

• Murena Hiroh smartphone revives an iPhone-era design with modern internals
• Hardware kill switch disconnects mic and cameras, while software kill switch disables connectivity
• Features /e/OS, an operating system stripped of Google apps and services

Murena has introduced the Hiroh smartphone, positioning the launch as a new high-end device designed with privacy as its central focus.

The company says its device introduces two dedicated privacy controls aimed at limiting potential surveillance and making it a secure smartphone.

It has a hardware “kill switch” that disconnects the microphone and cameras physically, preventing their use, alongside a software “kill switch” that disables Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, and cellular radios - measures which position the phone for users who value direct control over its hardware.
