OEM phones are the bigger problem because they're the affordable devices; Google has been promising a solution for - well, I stopped going to IO in 2011, so at least 7 years and more like a decade - but it would stop them having so many sensor probes

I don't think Google has chosen not to make the Pixel safe. It's one of the very few Android devices I feel comfortable using. "System X had a vulnerability" is never a good argument for X being insecure. X *not* *handling* a vulnerability, however...

If you read the paper (https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurity18/sec18-tian.pdf …), you’ll notice that the severity of the issues on Google phones is low. The really bad issues were all OEM phones. I’m frequently a big Google critic, but IMO you’re being unfair.

As
@matthew_d_green points out, the lock screen is functionally the last line of defense on an Android phone, so "it's almost not broken" is not a reassuring consolation. I agree that the phones Google makes are the safest, but they are not safe enough, and that is on Google - Show replies
