Magnet in Inspiron 5379?

Just realized there are two magnets along the edges of the keyboard.

My question  is, Occasionally I have my phone resting on the palm rest. Can this cause any harm to my phone?

Welcome to the Dell Community  @futurefunk 

They should not cause any damage but they and the laptop may interfere with reception.

By the way there may also be a magnet around the LCD bezel. "Lower Left or Right hand corner."

When the lid is closed the magnet trips a reed switch that turns off the display.

Best regards,
