Hello,

a phone operating system is programmed a little different to your computer operating system. Therefore, just like Apple Mac OS, hardily anyone is prepared to create viruses or malicious code for them which makes them less vulnerable than a Windows computer.

However, i am not saying you're phone is 100% safe. I'm stating that it is highly unlikely.

Sorry, i am no salesman so i won't be able to help you.

Also, i once had a HTC phone (Android) and moved on to Apple iPhone shortly after and i've only ever had an iPhone since.

Maybe other users can advise you more.
