The study showed an important advantage of Android smartphones over the iPhone

Android protects against scammers and spam better than iOS / photo The SunThree security studies show that Android-based smartphones offer better protection against scam calls and SMS spam than iPhones. Especially if they are Google Pixel devices.

Google, along with YouGov, surveyed 5,000 people from the US, Brazil and India about how often they encounter spam. iPhone owners are 65% more likely to report receiving three or more spam or phishing SMS messages per week than Android smartphone owners, Forbes reports.

Special attention in the study was paid to Google Pixel owners: they are 96% more likely than iPhone users to report the absence of fraudulent SMS. In particular, the Pixel 10 Pro was recognized as the most secure modern smartphone thanks to call filtering and fraud detection in the Messages and Gmail applications.

Experts write that Android’s open architecture allows third-party apps to be installed, increasing security capabilities, while Apple’s closed ecosystem can limit the effectiveness of anti-fraud efforts.

Artificial intelligence also plays a big role in this: with its help, Android phones can fight spam much more effectively. In particular, the new “Scam Detection” system uses AI to report a potential scam call in real time.

Another study found that Android is easier to learn than iPhone. To do this, the authors estimated the number of requests for specific keywords, such as “how to take a screenshot” or “how to block a number.”

UNIAN reported that Samsung again surpassed Apple in terms of smartphone sales, but the most successful brand in 2025 unexpectedly became the Chinese Transsion.
