Apps Is encryption a bad idea for app developer?

[Sven Hedlund]

I have just bought a Samsung Galaxy S6 and I plan to use it for future Android app development.

I am also thinking of encrypting the phone for increased security. Is that a bad idea if I want to develop apps on it? Will encryption slow down the process of transferring and test running my own apps on it?

Grateful for insight,
Sven

Welcome to our AndroidForums, Sven .

You shouldn't notice any issues with your development device being encrypted.

The SG S6 should be pretty beefy / fast and you won't even know that the encryption/decryption process is going on in the background (I've experienced no issues on my Nexus 6P and it is encrypted).

Cheers!
