According to David Sheffield, having two phones may be linked with anxiety or neuroticism: 'If you are more neurotic you might be using your phone more and may be more concerned about battery life, so two phones provide a safety net.' This reflects a tendency to manage personal and professional lives separately, which can provide comfort to those who may feel overwhelmed by constant connectivity.
Dr Zaheer Hussain notes that having two phones could signify 'FOMO'—the fear of missing out. 'People do not want to miss out news and notifications,' he states, indicating that the need for constant connectivity can lead to increased phone usage, thus underlying a psychological tendency to remain informed and engaged through multiple devices.
Another perspective offered is that dual-smartphone users manage work-life balance efficiently: 'Carrying two phones is often just a way to separate work-based communications from personal ones during the week.' This strategy helps users disconnect from work-related responsibilities and enhances their ability to enjoy leisure time.
