Both platforms have good and bad. Android is definitely less secure because it is more open but the biggest issue is the fact that Google doesn't control when your phone gets security updates (unless you have a Google phone). Your wireless carriers actually control that (not Samsung, LG, or any other manufacturer). Since the carriers don't have any incentive to push these updates in a timely manner, you get screwed.

iOS is much more secure because it is closed off, but then no platform is 100% hack proof and since iOS is seen as the more profitable platform, there are many more people trying to hack it.
