Both the phones and smart speakers start listening on wake words. I haven't seen any thing to suggest the smart speakers are constantly listening and sending everything to Amazon/Google/Apple. But both clearly could be constantly recording, not just when you're making a phone call. They're the same threat model, in my opinion. Plus the phone goes with you to places the speaker doesn't.
