Pardon my ignorance but, although I do think Faraday bags or any Faraday container is certainly a good idea, don't the devices catch up with all missed calls and messages after you take them back out?
They might dial your number to blow you up but if your phone is in a Faraday bag it won't go through but the call doesn't just disappear. When you remove it from the bag you'll get the alert for missed messages and I don't know if you need to respond to it or not but won't the device receive the command to detonate once the signal is good again?
I would like to be proven wrong about this notion.
Faraday bags work just like this. i have a few. but phones don't just explode without a bomb planted in it, and the batteries aren't like high capacity ones.. so even if they explode the damage is limited.
From what I understand the devices were stuffed with small amounts of plastic explosives, smartphones generally don't have much room in them to stuff a meaningful amount of anything in them, but it's not impossible they could cause your device to catch fire somehow

Hopefully not. Invest in Faraday bags, ASAP.

If you are lucky you would hear the news and not take it out.

The videos i've seen of the device explosions look as if explosives were planted in the devices beforehand.
I tried to find lithium ion battery explosions that exploded similarly, and all I found were leaking/catching fire scenarios.
correct.
So essentially, don't get a new phone then to lower your risk 😉
Good plan. My current cell phone is a used 10 year old former android phone that gets no apps or updates.

Cell phone protection from this is software based.

Worked for me. But I also left the X link.
