Explanation: Germans used to (apparently only in my bubble) call cellphones “Handy” and many people still do that. My friends from america found that quite hilarious.

Well you have basically three options in my bubble.
Handy
Wischkästla (translates roughly to swipe box)
Mobiltelefon (mobile phone) this one needs to be pronounced very precisely in order to get the sarkasm of using the old correct German word.
What kind of demonic incantation is this?

We frankonians just like to call things differently.
