Smartphone has different lens array design, so that calculator probably doesn't apply to smartphone cameras.
This is the correct answer
The focal length is the distance of the film plan and the nodal point of the lens. The field of view is the angle you can see with a certain lens focal (nodal point distance) with a given observation surface (could be analog, digital, biological) Whether it’s celluloid, digital, stills video or phone or your eyes. All have the same physics and optics. This applies to any and all cameras.
