It depends on the device, I guess, but no, I'm saying your phone is better off in that scenario than any of your other devices.

Why would a fully-encrypted smartphone be better off than a fully-encrypted laptop? I'm not following here.
depends on the software installed on both and the adversary you have in mind

if we're talking defending from suits; your phone is probably turned on a lot larger percentage of the time than your laptop so it's more susceptible to a cold boot attack

if we're talking defending from some thug who jacked your phone; it probably doesnt matter
