The increased complexity /functionality of mobile phones / mobile handsets


Explanation:
I think the idea behind the term is how much the features of mobile phones have increased over the years. Previously they were simple devices to place and receive calls. Then, address book features were added, mail, messaging, web browsing, mobile cameras, PC synchronization, color screens, and more.
I believe the term is attempting to capture this. Therefore I would choose the term "increasing complexity" .
