Pro Side (32)
Pros: Depends on your operation behavior, download APP & browse from secure sources, manage your APP permissions, update to latest OS version, then your mobile is secure
Con Side (8)
Cons: There\'re many malwares in Android platform, the open source structure of Android make it unsecure than other OS
I think the big issue is all about applications and their permissions...Simply, ask for too much, but probably, most of people do not pay attention on this issue...
When it comes to mobile security neither Android or iOS is safe to malware or virus that lurks on the web. That is why it is always advisable to keep the firmware up to date and download only apps from the Google Play or App Store and from the trusted developers. As long as there are people who tries to steal your information from your device, they will always try to find a way how to hack your devices.
