When you type "google.com" into your web browser, your phone sends a request to your DNS server, asking for the IP address of google. The DNS server returns the IP address of google.com to your phone.
When you type "gmail.com", your phone doesn't have to send a request to the DNS server to find out the IP address of gmail. It already knows. It's the same with most websites. When you type "facebook.com", your phone doesn't send a request to the DNS server to get the IP address of facebook.
Why do we need a DNS server on our phone? To get the correct IP address of a website, we have to send a request to the DNS server. This DNS server returns an IP address.
