Photos: Five of the most secure Android smartphones

Android has managed to get a bad reputation when it comes to security -- but that's perhaps more to do with the vast array of versions of the mobile operating system used across more than a billion devices and the slow pace at which many are updated. But a small set of companies have taken Android and fitted it out to be much more secure in order to hold snoopers at bay.

Sirin Labs claims its Solarin handset, seen above, is the "most secure phone ever made". Featuring end-to-end encrypted VoIP calls and messages using military-grade encryption, it's probably one of the most expensive smartphones too, starting at £9,500/$14,800.
