i am looking to buy a new mobile smartphone (Android) under 30k.
currently only exploring options like Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, pixel, lava.
in the same price range, there are chinese brands like oppo, vivo, redmi, realme, xiaomi, oneplus, nothing, etc that give a huge number of features compared to the brands I'm looking for.
my only concern is that my banking is now mostly done on my mobile banking apps, so i am scared about chinese brands and my banking data security (fingerprint, password, mpin, otp, etc). there have also been some instances where chinese mobile brands and apps were banned by our govt.
political reasons aside, can anyone explain if my fears are justified?
i download strictly from Play Store and keep disabled the download option from 3rd party app stores. i also don't download any apks.
