Funny, the comment types here are the same as on Youtube:
- “I still run Android and it is totally fine, will never switch Android just got worse!”
- “Well, money”
- “Companies need to support phones longer”
- “I just use LineageOS on that device”
- Misinformation
The bad thing about security is, you only notice you are fucked when it is too late ;)
I mean, that’s true, but paying $500 for a security update is a bit obscene given the rest of my phone is more powerful than i actually need despite being old and cheap. Until I find one that has very good signal or my current one breaks properly, I’m not burning that money for a device that i literally wont be able to tell is faster.
It is not about speed. Security is abstract.
Device manifacturers obviously didnt have security in mind. And still, new phones are sold because of strange features nobody needs, instead of 10 years of updates and a headphone jack.
Not to brag but I still do have a headphone jack. Gonna guess the security update being from 2022 is a bad thing though lmao
I mean, you can be on airplane mode with bluetooth and wifi off in public spaces. I would need to use a dongle (which doesnt exist! I needed to buy the Apple one)
Funny enough, i actually disable bluetooth when I’m not using it, and i don’t use wifi on the phone (no home internet, so it isn’t gonna connect to anything anyway).
I’m gonna miss the rear fingerprint sensor as well when i finally replace it.
True, in-display sensors are complete garbage. Slow, flashing in your face etc.
Idk if they are more secure (accurate) but they suck.
I doubt it as the Android security model is actually pretty good. It isn’t immune but neither is anything else. It is all about least privilege. There is no root so the worse case is you just uninstall something manually.
Yes Android is way more secure than any random Linux distro. But you can still get hacked.
Absolutely but so can anything else.
