To all in the cryptocurrency space, whether you are a long or short-term trading expert in spot contracts, a big player in project investments, or friends chasing airdrops and white lists.
What phones and configurations does everyone use? Which phone do you think is more convenient and safer in the cryptocurrency space?
Let's take a look at the sharing from experienced users:
A:
Two Apple phones are sufficient.
1. Why use Apple? Mainly because Xiaomi, Huawei, and other phones are said to have anti-Z software built-in at the factory, which can track what you're doing. You might not believe it, but I used to use Xiaomi, and my OKX and Binance apps were often automatically deleted. So, if you can use an Apple, go for it. However, if you're a student and your funds in the cryptocurrency space are only a few thousand to tens of thousands, using Android is fine. Switch to Apple when your funds grow larger.
2. Using two phones for operations and verification. In cryptocurrency operations, safety is one of the most important considerations. I recommend using two phones: one for regular operations and the other for verification, which can enhance security. This way, the risks are dispersed; even if one phone has security issues (like being robbed or lost), it won't affect the security of the other phone.
3. The configuration of the phone is not important. I don't know if you've heard this saying: the more screens you have, the faster you lose. This means that stock traders with more screens to watch the market lose money faster. Similarly, for cryptocurrency operations, the phone's configuration doesn't matter.
As long as the software doesn't lag when in use, it's fine. Just like playing soccer, even if Messi plays barefoot instead of wearing soccer shoes, he can still easily outplay the national team. So, to make money, you need solid skills; the equipment doesn't matter.

Android-based Huawei is the least friendly to the cryptocurrency space. I use a Xiaomi, but it's said that the new MIUI has big brother built-in... by the way, you don't need a VPN for certain apps on Android now, while on iPhone you need to set it up separately, otherwise it always lags behind. However, it supports little fox (MetaMask) quite well. Many overseas tools and communication apps work well—there are too many fakes on Android, especially wallet apps. Be cautious about downloading unknown source APKs! It is recommended to have at least one device for each system to handle common tasks.
For safety, you must use an iPhone.
All fake apps in the cryptocurrency space, including wallets and exchanges, are basically used to scam through Android devices. There are also some garbage software that copy and paste in the background, all of which are Android. New users may accidentally copy their private keys or mnemonic phrases, and their wallets get stolen shortly after; this is very common. However, when using an iPhone, it's crucial to ensure that all software is downloaded from the App Store. Avoid using beta versions, especially wallets. In short, when navigating the cryptocurrency space, the safety of your funds is paramount.

All my devices related to cryptocurrency are Xiaomi phones.
Huawei phones are safe, but many apps can't be downloaded, such as wallets, market information, exchanges, etc. Apple phones are even more troublesome with too many restrictions, so they are not an option for me.
The verification feature on Xiaomi can be turned off, allowing normal installations. I often buy several phones at once because I personally prefer categorization, such as having wallets that only receive funds and interactive wallets on different phones, with exchanges, market information, and scientific internet access also separated.
D:
It's advisable to prepare one Apple phone and one Android phone! To be fair, because of the protection of the iOS system, your wallet is relatively safer on an Apple device than on an Android device, reducing the risk of information leakage! However, downloading many cryptocurrency apps on Apple has restrictions and requires overseas IDs, which is a bit troublesome. In contrast, Android devices do not face these issues!
Therefore, it is recommended to store wallets on the Apple phone and daily market software on the Android phone, with verification and operations on two different phones!
