Help Cell standby and phone idle

Settings > about phone > battery > battery use.

What's the difference between cell standby and phone idle?

I cant work it out :(

Cell standby is when you are not using your phone for calls or texts phone idle is when you are not using your phone for anything at all.
You can watch videos, music, play games etc & you are using your phone but the cell is in standby mode.
