However, if your handset uses any of these chips launched in the last three years, it could leave you vulnerable to hackers due to a critical flaw in those modems, as Google’s Project Zero team revealed 18 unpatched vulnerabilities in Samsung’s Exynos modems.

• Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge
• Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+
• Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+
• Samsung Galaxy S10, S10+, and S10e

Security researchers have found problems in the Exynos modems powering recent flagship phones from Google, such as the Pixel 7 and Pixel 6 lineups, as well as last year’s Samsung phones, including the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy A53, and older models. The flaws expose those devices to internet-to-baseband remote code execution. Some of Vivo’s recent models in the flagship and mid-range categories, including the Vivo X60, X70, and S15, are also at risk.
