Sadly I can confirm this. I am studying ethical hacking at university and the amount of android exploits developed are unreal.

However Google aren't slouches at patching these though so reporting is your friend!

In terms of apps, Google use an automated checking facility which i believe scans through an app submitted to the play store. However the apps DO NOT go through a manual checking phase (as implemented by apple).

But hey the pros and cons of being open source XD.

The ironic thing is "non smart phones" are run on a much more closed off platform
