Just wondering about security features on modern Android phones, from 2017+, running Android 7+ pre-installed.

Does Android have good security, comparable to iOS?

Well android issue is the device maker usually is slow to roll out O/S updates to their users and will only do it for a year or 2 unlike Apple who makes iOS and the devices so they get updated without lag and for years

Can thieves brute force a pin / pattern lock to steal data? Could this be dependent on brand / model of phone?

Any security tips for keep data away from thieves?

Thanks for any information.
