      I prefer Android devices that were NOT manufactured in China. Chinese vendors will embed a lot of BS onto chips that you can’t even get out of a rooted device. The reason why I favor Android is because it’s much more conducive to the open-source ecosystem and you can readily get apps, like firewall apps and such, that will block all of the BS Google traffic. I am actually a developer, so I even do custom builds of open-source apps myself for mission-critical functions just to be extra cautious. But really, good network security is multi-factor/multi-layered. So, it’s securing everything from your browser itself, your operating system, and then securing the network you’re connected to, as well.
