Do you specifically want Android?

It takes a lot of work to have a secure device when you're using a carrier-subsidized Android device.

More than a lack up updates, personal choices like which apps you install/behavior like what websites and extensions you use/uses of the device like what type of network you connect to has more potential for security risks than the immediate lack of updates.

Request a copy of your data from Samsung via the account data request, open it in Excel, and tell me if you want to use anything they make for your personal confidential communication. I loved my Samsung device but a single request of my data export made me close my account and get rid of all the Samsung devices I owned.

My device is not locked and I don't have a Samsung account, but I generally agree with your assessment of the risk profiles of those activities.

Without a Samsung account, there is still a shocking amount of data collected but I'm not sure how you'd go about getting a copy to inspect.

I don't enjoy iOS, but Android felt like an unreasonable risk considering the way it's put together by vendors and distributed.
