I'm not sure if this is strictly privacy or more security related but it does affect iOS and Android and could have privacy implications. It was enough to make me to turn off 2G anyway.

Doesn't look to be a way to turn off 2G on Samsung phones.

Samsung in terms of security, privacy and hardware is a total mess. I would avoid Samsung products at all costs.
