    Note7 owner, 09 Feb 2017I would never ever enter my credit information to a Chinese... moreAndroid security is mainly in the hands of Google and their security patches, which are pushed out every month. Most phone makers update their security patches in quite a timely manner, which means that even if there were a major security breach, chances are that it will be fixed very soon, despite all the fragmentation.

              I would never ever enter my credit information to a Chinese branded phone. Android is waiting for a major breach to happen. LG and Samsung as well. Too reckless with your sensitive information. Market share and sales come first for them companies trying to survive with Android competition.
