The change is meant to bring the legislation up to date with smartphones. As drawn years ago it covered interactive communication; talking or texting. The change now is to catch using it as a camera, playing games, using it as a handheld 'remote' to manage playlists etc and hopefully watching videos etc.
No change to current rules if it's on a clamp etc. Same if it's stowed or, as mine is clipped to my belt, and it's integrated with the car. Since the Covid App needs me to have Bluetooth on 24/7 I've discovered it integrates with the Fabia and I can make/receive calls using its touchscreen. It also uses the speakers and a mic somewhere in the cabin to allow hands free.
