Adding the following paragraph under the previous paragraphs:
Ferdinand Thommes tested the Murena One with /e/OS in November 2022 and came to the conclusion that it "covers the usual purposes well". He also highlighted the aspect that the developers managed to achieve a uniform look for the preinstalled apps that come from different sources. Apart from a short-term Wi-Fi failure and an NFC problem on the pre-production device "software and hardware worked without problems". He considered it a serious alternative for "people who don't want to leave their data to Google, but don't have the desire, time or knowledge to purchase a smartphone to install and maintain an operating system on it that suits their needs." Thommes concludes that Duval "deserves respect" for his several years of work on an operating system that he "also entrusts to his children." He also mentions the Volla Phone as a possible alternative for German users.
The author was also previously given as a reference, but with a self-published (and therefore non-reliable) source. The new reference is on the one hand more current and on the other hand from a professional publication on linux topics. Only the reliability of the source caused the removal, not the reputation of the author.

/e/ OS was not responsible for it nor were they blamed in the article. So, I will remove it. Greatder ( talk) 12:41, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

In Juli 2023 Natasha Lomas reported in Techcrunch, that the Fairphone4 repairable smartphone will be available in the US for the first time in a deGoogled Murena e/OS variant and that it will be "interesting to see how much U.S. interest there is in an iPhone and (Google) Android alternative that packs sustainable and ethical smarts".

Replacing the sentence "As of November 2019 /e/ supported 89 smartphone models." with "As of November 2023 /e/ supported 246 smartphone models."
Info is old and therefore wrong

Today (June 10th) if I go here /info/en/?search=/e/_(operating_system) without being logged into Wikipedia and I look at the "Latest release" field, I can read the value of "2.1[1] / 6 June 2024; 1 day ago" while instead I should read "2.1[1] / 6 June 2024; 4 days ago". If I now log into Wikipedia with my credentials that text changes and the correct value of "2.1[1] / 6 June 2024; 4 days ago" is visualized. Why this discrepancy?
