All unsecured networks may be safe or not safe, because some people dont know how to keep a secured network and some knows but they might hack your smartphone data if they are professionals in hacking.

If you are on unsecured network browse at your own risk one more thing is that you mush have installed a good antivirus in smartphone if you are on unsecured network you will safe. Moreover totally depends on what you are browsing and downloading, say you are downloading any files from mail that's quite natural or you are copying the shared file that might be risk because the file is network may or may not contain virus.

If your device is loaded with antivirus it will safe for you and you can access any type of file or website, it warns you if that is an inappropriate file. One more important thing is you need to update the virus definitions atleat once in a week.

Tip :- dont list your passwords, userid's and credit card numbers and other credentials in you smartphone or in email or in any cloud storage
