Smartphones are not safe

I’ve edited my previous post: Read ‘edit’ about Titan. It is black box containing whatever Google wants. It could contain all kinds of back doors, as evidenced by the unencrypted data vulnerability I’ve described. In my view, the only reason Google has decided to design firmware for processors (for which it has little to no experience), is the ability to hide spyware and malware in firmware. Designing chips requires not only multi billion $$$ for Research & Development, but also 20, 30, 40 and 50 years of experience like Intel, AMD, Qualcomm and even Samsung, and Google totally lacks that. So, no matter how good (or bad) your favorite custom Android distribution is, it is futile on Pixels. On Pixels, it’ll be a house with a good front door and no back side.
