I believe if you use it ( cell phone or laptop ) for personal uses it is fine. There is no tax.
If customs see a NEW cell phone or a NEW laptop with a box or you have several cell phones or laptops, you will get taxed. Customs will think you are planning to give it away or sell it in China. They will think the item will NOT leave China when you leave. I believe this is true for any electronic goods.
I have been stop by China's customs officials ONLY once during Chinese New Year. I think It was because they saw a small computer box that I was using for luggage. Most of the time they don't care and use the X-Ray machine to do all the work. They are more cautions about drugs, guns and explosives etc.
