Currently, it is estimated that the Android world is represented by more than 4000 different models spread over 400 brands, totaling approximately 1.4 billion Android devices worldwide.
This diversity causes that have many differences between them, since the adoption of new operating system versions to their own safety equipment through figures where in this vast ecosystem are encrypted less than 10% of them.
on the one hand Apple is keen to have a mobile operating system controlled total, in the case of Google the idea it is to provide a system that can be modified by any programmer.
This “little” difference has made many Android manufacturers do not choose to create ways to encrypt the data of its users under penalty of performance become impaired.
Android Marshmallow is the the only one that requires that smartphones are encrypted
If you currently buy an Android with Marshmallow version of origin, will have the sure that your information will be protected by a figure, but this only occurs in a universe of 2% of all Android devices.
Not that this is a novelty in the world of Android. Earlier versions already had figures, including the Google Nexus, and this option could already be activated by users on some equipment from version 4.0, but that tends to worsen the performance of equipment.
in the case of Apple, from the iOS 8 released in 2014, all iPhones are encrypted automatically without requiring any activation by the users. Therefore, it is estimated that only 5% of all iOS are not encrypted, namely the running version 7 or less iOS.
