In triumph, one smashes cells, perhaps (6)

I believe the answer is:

phones

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cells perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'in triumph one smashes' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'PHONES' is hidden within 'triumph one smashes'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for phones that I've seen is " 'Calls, rings (6)'".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
