Both Google Nexus and Motorola phones have a good track record for security upgrades. I'm on my 2nd Motorola phone and I think it's a great device. Don't buy a phone from your carrier, it will be saddled with bloatwear and you will receive many updates on the carrier's slower update schecual. With over 14 billion Android devices, it's pretty easy to be one of the 70% or 10 billion that can and do recive security upgrades. Every device is insecure to some extent, the only way to avoid it is to compleatly unplug. I almost never buy anything with my phone and I don't use it for banking. I don't make purchases over open wifi either. Might not matter but it makes me less paranoid.
