> Android device family other than the Pixel / Nokia line a security hazard As someone who uses a HMD (Nokia) phone, please do not buy the models with Mediatek SoC in it when you are absolutely concerned with security. Apparently Mediatek is the one building the kernel of the device and not even HMD has knowledge on what modifications have been made (for example is DuraSpeed, which was an aggressive battery saver that ruined some apps, was enabled without permission and even HMD cannot disable it permanently). Qualcomm SoC devices are okay, but expect a slight delay (around a week or two especially if it was a device from a carrier) for updates.
