Hella secure

[Guest]

With all the news around government agencies being unable to unlock iPhones, i wonder if Android has a phone as secure as that. Is there one? (Im asking as i potentially would like to buy one that secure, but dont want to go Apple)

S8 maybe?

My guess would be no, android is built buy google if I'm not mistaken and google doesn't hide the fact that it records everything in its other departments

I dont know for sure though

What the heck are you doing on your phone that the government would care about it??

Although you get a lot more options on android for disabling things, so it might not start secure but they dont hide things from you which means you can turn it off most of the time

Nothing, but im just insecure and dont want anything to be shared without my consent lol. (As little as possible, so dont go on the "its unavoidable" rant)

It's not necessarily about hiding something. 

And there's this quote by Edward Snowden

Quote

Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

And who is to say that the government will always be the good guys?

Thanks for that but dont take this thread there. Is there a phone you know of that is this secure?

I think there was the Turing phone, but I don't know how it ended up.

Not to cross the political line here OP but the only people that should really be concerned about such things are nefarious individuals, governments don't in reality spy on you unless they have a specific reason to target you.  (tinfoil alert)

 

Unless you live in China of course
