Smombie
someone so absorbed in their smartphone they barely notice their surroundings
Origin
'Smombie' is a portmanteau of 'Smartphone' and 'Zombie' and refers to a smartphone addict who, with their gaze unavoidably fixed on the phone, wanders around as if absent-minded. The term has been in use in German since 2015 and was chosen that year by a Langenscheidt jury as Jugendwort des Jahres (youth word of the year).
