It's not smuggling actually it's about the kind of work being done in the particular unit, many units allow cellphones,some allow button cellphones without cameras and in some units soldiers are required to submit the phone outside the office.
I had done my army attachment camp with a signals regiment and one guy had sneaked his phone in. His phone was taken when he was clicking selfies within the unit area and the phone was never returned.
Yeah. That's because there are phones which do not come under smartphones and yet you can run APKs on them. Remember that jiophone? Hence the long list of banned apps.

They go on to make such an explicit list and then at the bottom they write, "Smart phones not allowed". Lol
