This means if you have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/top-android-smartphones-and-devices-to-launch-in-october-2015\/\" target=\"_blank\">Android-based smartphone <\/a>for the past 4 years up to now, the chance is very high that your device can easily be attacked by malicious applications.<\/p>\n<p>To come to their conclusion, the researchers for the University of Cambridge have collected data by asking around 20,000 users download and run an app called Device Analyzer. The result collected by the test will help researchers rank different Android OEMs on the percentage of devices safe from security risks. This will also show the number of vulnerabilities each smartphone producers have NOT fix on their devices.<\/p>\n<h3>Android devices lack of security &#8211; call for the solutions?<\/h3>\n<p>87% is such a huge number that could make any of us Android users worry. Yes, both me and you are very possible to be a &#8220;victim&#8221; also. And also in the research this time, Google have pointed out which smartphone producers tend to be the &#8220;safest&#8221; available.<\/p>\n<p>According to that, Google Nexus is the best OEM in terms of regular providing of security updates for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/android-flagships-beat-apple-iphone-6s-at-mobile-camera-ranking\/\" target=\"_blank\">Android devices<\/a>, with 5.2 out of 10 score. Following Nexus are LG with 4 out of 10 and Motorola with 3.1. Unfortunately, Samsung, Sony, HTC and Asus (all of the most popular brands) have been left far behind with just 2.7 to 2.4 points.<\/p><div style=\"float: none; display: block; margin: 0 -10px; text-align: center;\"><!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_1 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"7528541080\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<!-- ph_pricepony_article_incontent_2 -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4796993490224996\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2964262507\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div><\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/alcatel.webp 480w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/alcatel-300x167.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/alcatel-80x45.webp 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/alcatel.jpg\" height=\"267\" width=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/alcatel.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/alcatel-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/alcatel-80x45.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10320 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Android devices\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<p>This is absolutely not a good piece of news for any user.
