The smartphone Digivice (スマホ型デジヴァイス Sumaho-gata dejivaisu) is a model of Digivice that is used by the Chosen Children in Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna and Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning. It is a replacement for the Chosen Children's original Digivices and D-3s. Izumi Kōshirō developed these Digivices himself.[1]
Overview[edit]
Design[edit]
The smartphone Digivice resembles a conventional smartphone. The back of the chassis is colored white, and is partially covered by a grip case consisting of an outermost layer which is usually colored to match the color of the Chosen Child's activated Digivice or D-3, on top of a black inner layer. There are two slightly different styles of case: one with a triangular pattern on which one Crest is printed (used by the majority of Chosen Children), and one with a slightly different parallelogram pattern on which multiple Crests are printed (used by Motomiya Daisuke, Inoue Miyako, and Hida Iori).[1]
Unlike original Digivices or D-3s, smartphone Digivices do not change color when a partner Digimon undergoes evolution to the Perfect level or higher. However, like D-3s, Jogress Evolving two Adult Digimon into a Perfect Digimon still causes both participating Chosen Children's smartphone Digivices to enter an "activated" state where their colors change into an identical color scheme featuring colors associated with the two Chosen Children.[2]
Smartphone Digivices have a user interface similar to a contemporary early-2010s smartphone, with a touchscreen, one large face button, and a side-mounted power button. When the phone is turned, off, a splash screen for Kōshirō's company, Izumi, is displayed.
Functions[edit]
Smartphone Digivices are said to have all the same functionality as the Digivices that they replace.[1] They also integrate the features of a conventional smartphone. Known features include:
- Channeling the emotional energy of the Chosen Child to:
- Evolve a Child Digimon into an Adult Digimon[3]
- Super Evolve an Adult Digimon into a Perfect Digimon, using the energy of a Crest[3]
- Ultimate Evolve a Perfect Digimon into an Ultimate Digimon[2]
- Fuse/Jogress Evolve two Digimon into a Perfect[2] or Ultimate Digimon[3]
- Tracking positions of other Digivices[1]
- Tracking the position, and time until opening, of Digital Gates[3]
- Regular smartphone features, including:
- Transporting humans and Digimon into alternate universes[5]
The home screen of Yagami Taichi's smartphone Digivice features an icon that reads de (short for 「デジモン Dejimon」, "Digimon") in Digimoji.
When the countdown to the end of a Chosen Child's time with their Digimon begins, both original Digivices and smartphone Digivices project an identical, synchronized countdown ring.

Digimon Adventure 20th Anniversary Memorial Story Project[edit]
In "To Sora", Takenouchi Sora has adopted a smartphone Digivice as her regular phone. Piyomon tries to alert her to the messages that she is receiving from the other Chosen Children as they face a Digimon who has appeared in Tokyo, but she is too focused on perfecting her ikebana to engage in time. She also has a video call with Tachikawa Mimi (who is calling from her laptop).
Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna[edit]
As of the start of the film, all twelve of the core group of Japanese Chosen Child are regularly using smartphone Digivices as both their main phones and as a day-to-day replacement for their original Digivices. Izumi Kōshirō uses them to help coordinate the Chosen Children's efforts to stop Digimon who have appeared in Tokyo, sending live information and updates to the Digivices. They still keep their original Digivices in safe places.
During their initial battle with Eosmon, the countdown rings appear on the backs of Yagami Taichi and Ishida Yamato's smartphone Digivices, as well as their original Digivices in storage.
After Tachikawa Mimi is hospitalized with an Eosmon-induced coma (Eosmon having tracked and attacked her through her smartphone Digivice), Yamato advises the team that he puts together to help investigate Menoa Bellucci and Yamada Kyotaro (Taichi, Kōshirō, Motomiya Daisuke, Ichijouji Ken, Inoue Miyako, and Hida Iori) to discontinue use of their smartphone Digivices in order to avoid being attacked by Eosmon. Instead, these Chosen Children start using their original Digivices again, and use burner phones and public payphones as less traceable alternatives for phone communication.
Digimon Adventure 02: The Beginning[edit]
Smartphone Digivices remain in use by Motomiya Daisuke's group of Chosen Children, although they choose to use their original D-3s instead when they gather for their mission to help Ohwada Lui with Ukkomon's Digitama.
