This isn’t necessarily true for your smartphone, because some ARM CPUs don’t do the speculative execution that Spectre/Meltdown exploit. For example, CPU in the raspberry pi 3 didn’t have these vulnerabilities which I assume is why the parent was asking this question.

Most modern smartphones have Arm based chips with speculative execution which are vulnerable without software patches.
