All user data was deleted through the factory reset option in the 20 sets used in that test. But even then, Avast was able to recover old data from them.
Avast has recovered / recovered more than 40,000 images from these factory reset (wiped / wiped) Android phones using various data recovery software available in the market. These pictures were in many cases extremely personal.
