Original smartphone designs are well – otherwise they would not be original, duh. Other than BlackBerry KEYone and a few no-names, I cannot come up with a recently-released phone that was more than marginally different from its peers.

Kaspersky Lab issues warning against LokiBot, a very dangerous trojan that attacks Android-based smartphones. After infecting the device it tries to obtain the user’s bank account information.
