I do not. I can tell you that a Xiaomi device I tested was not affected. All Samsung devices I tested as well as Realme (and therefore I assume also Oneplus and Oppo) are affected.

This issues also hints that at least 4 years ago it was an Android issue and therefore all phones were affected. A lot of users still use phones from 4 years ago that have not been updated to the latest Android version by the manufacturer.

Also, in the issue comments some commenters say that it still happens in Android 11 and Android 10 which at this point are the Android versions that the majority of users have on their phones.

So, to answer your questions in short: all brands who released phones 4 years ago and have not updated the OS with an Android version with the fix can be considered "affected brands". It is a "best case scenario" because it appears also devices with the latest updates still show the same bug (the Realme and Samsung devices I tested were all running on at least Android 10).



One of the major advantages of Apple is how they can get all their users to update OS in a timely fashion, whereas Android users tend to lag behind
