There are no smart phone which are suitable for crypto because phones are frequently connected to Internet and also it is frequently using for shearing data.
A computer is always connected to the Internet and is used for sharing data as well, doesn't make it not suitable for crypto. Smiley

The comparison of safety between computer and smart phones do make sense albeit, does it really have to be just Samsung? There are other brands that are smart phones too, right? I do have LG and thank goodness, so far, I have not encountered any security issues yet on my digital transactions.
And they are essentially the same thing too. It's just a matter of hyping their products. It's not just Samsung in specific where we can apply the explanation.

It honestly is not about what device that you have. Others believe that Apple can never have a virus since you can't download just any file from the Web using that phone. Does anyone really know someone who got their Smartphone hacked? I have friends who click every Ads and pop-up prompts but they never got their phone hacked. In a computer, these people have tons of virus what does those virus do? The most troublesome I encountered was a virus that auto-downloads and installs apps without your knowledge. Other than that? Nope.

It's all about the gullibility/negligence of people. And that's where we should focus on. People sometimes mistakingly uploads their private key instead of their bitcoin address. There are also some who uploads their private keys on their facebook messenger. They send a message to themselves. Once their facebook account is hacked, so is their bitcoin addresses. Was that caused by which Smartphone were you using? No. We have to focus on educating people so we don't get tons of virus in our computers (not because they take our bitcoins away but because they are annoying) and how to avoid being taken advantage of by someone from the Internet.
