What do you do on the phone? Browsing? Aren't all the drivers out of date including the android version? My impression is that, the security primarily is completely lacking because of dated drivers and the android version

    Messaging, web browser, podcasts, navigation, a couple services that require a phone to access. I tend to not install apps that could be websites.

    Hardware drivers are surely dated. Android, on the other hand is 15, and I assume getting updated to 16 soon. I think I'm pretty good with regard to the sort of zero-click exploits I've heard of used for targeted attacks. If somebody slipped a trojan into a software update, I could have a problem, especially if it was a privileged app like AccA or Adaway. Of course, updated drivers wouldn't protect me from that.
