Is the Heartbleed bug in your Android? 80 phones/tablets that could be vulnerable

The Web has largely fixed itself from the major Heartbleed OpenSSL bug discovered on April 7, 2014. From the reports we’ve seen, few major websites are still vulnerable to the bug, and many of the apps and services we use have been patched as well. Unfortunately, there’s one festering Heartbleed wound that isn’t fixed, and won’t get patched anytime soon. As Google admitted on its own blog, phones and tablets running Android 4.1.1 are vulnerable to Heartbleed bug hack attacks.

We’ve tried but can’t find a good listing of what phones and tablets might be vulnerable, so we decided to make one ourselves. Below you’ll find a near-complete list of devices we think could potentially have the Heartbleed bug. This is based on information from Wikipedia, wireless carrier websites, and all over. We’ll continue to update and fix this list as readers, manufacturers, and carriers respond to our requests for info. We’ve included any devices we believe could possibly have Android 4.1.1 on them. Recent estimates pin the number of vulnerable devices at about 50 million.

IF YOUR DEVICE IS LISTED AS VULNERABLE:

  • Go to Settings > About phone to see if you’re running version 4.1.1.
  • Run the Lookout Mobile Security app
  • If you’re vulnerable, check for updates
  • If there are no updates, take the phone offline and remove all sensitive information from it
  • Avoid browsing the Web, using email, or doing anything serious on the device until a fix is issued. “If you have a vulnerable device and there’s no fix available for you, I would be very cautious about using that device for sensitive data,” Lookout’s Marc Rogers told Ars Technica. “So I would be cautious about using it for banking or sending personal messages.”

Most likely, an attacker might try to lure you into an infected website via email or some other method, trying to use the Hearbleed vulnerability to extract information from Web browser tabs. We recommend you use the Google Chrome browser, if it’s available on your device, and update it. Be sure to download the Lookout Mobile Security app to see if your device is vulnerable.

Android 16 could give your phone a big redesign
Someone holding the Google Pixel 9 with the screen on.

Google is set to release Android 15 to the general public soon, so attention is slowly turning to Android 16, which is expected to launch toward the end of next year. Android Authority recently discovered intriguing information about this update from the Android 15 QPR1 beta.

In the beta, the site discovered that Google plans a "complete redesign" for Android's Notifications and Quick Settings panels. The current design dates back to Android 12 when Google introduced its Material You design language. It provides a uniform appearance, including the initial four Quick Setting tiles and the entire notifications panel.

How to restore deleted or missing contacts on your iPhone
Illustration of a Contact Poster on an iPhone

It seems that no one can remember more than a couple of phone numbers (at best) these days. I don't remember any, and can you even remember your closest family member's phone number at this point? Probably not. That's when you starting thinking about the iPhone contacts feature being a godsend. Despite the tech, however, there can be times -- like installing iOS 18 beta -- when your contacts go missing or get deleted. Fortunately, there are a few ways to recover your old contacts via your iPhone and other devices. We'll guide you through each technique so you can get back to functioning as normal quickly.

The OnePlus Nord 4 does one thing better than any other Android phone
OnePlus Nord 4 Midnight black with metal back held in hand.

Other than a few deviations, OnePlus has a penchant for value products. The premium OnePlus 12 offers a (mostly) superior set of features and a refined experience over similarly-priced flagships such as the Galaxy S24 Plus or the Pixel 8 Pro. Similarly, the $500 OnePlus 12R offers exceptional performance and a flagship-like experience for its price. The OnePlus Nord 4, which sits in a price bracket right under the 12R, has its own benefits, but one that stands out is its metal back.

The OnePlus Nord 4 is the first and currently the only 5G phone to feature a metal back panel. Not only is it a striking design but it also has another trait that perceivably makes it more exciting than other phones: Its metal body potentially helps improve performance.
