Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
1.It is permissible to recite the Quraan without wudhu.
(Badaa’I us Sanaa’I Vol. 1. Pg. 141 Darul Kutub Deoband)
2.It will be permissible to touch the mobile phone without wudhu, however it will not be permissible to touch the actual text that appears on the screen of the mobile phone without wudhu.
(Durrul Mukhtaar Vol. 1. Pg. 173 H M Saeed)
And Allah knows best
