It's hard to compare the security of systems. Also how is IOS number2!? Theres a lot of research put into finding holes in hardware and software since they are so popular, also they have backdoors for the government baked in along their walled garden.
Speaking about privacy, there are alot of gains from passing from a closed source ROM to a open sourced one. Or even better to an open sourced phone running Linux(yes I know very few can daily drive them).
On security it's complicated and depends on many factors.
