Child: Can I watch in your cellphone?

Parent: That's not how you say it. Say this: Can I watch videos on your cellphone?

The corrected phrase is correct, correct?

Yes, in AmE. It's becoming redundant to include cell, and if you do, you should write cell phone as two words.

Yes, you've got it right. (How many times can you use "correct" in the same sentence?)

The same is true of mobile phone in BrE as fewer and fewer people use anything else.
