Is there a quick way to find if a smartphone's being owned by a guy or a lady? What signs you'll for when you are asked to solve this puzzle?

I'd use the phone to call someone in the phone history list and ask them.

Constraint: You should find it by yourself without asking anybody.

Dang.
Then I would look for husband/wife/girlfriend/boyfriend or similar in the contact list. Also check the age of the phone, phone history and casing to gather enough information to make a guess using my knowledge on stereotypes.
If need check through a lot of sms for further clues.

In my case it is age...I replace my phone every 5-8 years, where my wife does it every 2 years...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

 8 Years! is so much time for a smartphone. By the end of 3rd year, the phone itself would be shying away from being called a "smart"phone when the contemporary peers start show off what it really means to be smart
I'd think about this only I can own iPhone-18S & Nexus-20 right today.

My current phone is my ever first 'smart' phone - it is less than one year old...Before that I had a simple flip-phone from Samsung...
My phones are smart because I use them in a smart way - if not these are only a piece of metal does not matter what version number sticked to it...

I still use one of those Samsung flip phones. The screen and buttons are protected, unlike the smart phones that can place calls without your knowledge or crack under the weight of my fat ass. My provider keeps trying to convince me that I would be better off with a new phone on a plan that costs 1200%-1800% over the cost of my existing plan. For that amount, I could fly to Japan and buy a new flip phone off the shelf.
The difficult may take time, the impossible a little longer.

You can use a smart phone and still get by cheaply. I've got a Moto E and use a pay-as-you-go plan with Page Plus Cellular (an MVNO on Verizons network). I turned off cellular data since I have almost no need to try to view the web on such a small screen. I spent around $65 bucks total for last years cell service (yeah, I don't like to talk/text much). I probably get more usage of the calculator App I installed then actually talking on the phone.

I still have you beat. I have $32 remaining on my $20/year Motormouth pay-as-you-go plan from Vodafone. At my current rate of usage, my next top up will leave me with a $38 balance. Latest offerings from all local providers keep pushing carryover data which I don't need at a cheap $19/MONTH.
My Samsung came with a calculator app onboard plus a Sudoku app to use while waiting for others to get off their phones. One of my few complaints is the smallish screen size, but I can live with that.

Never heard of them. Are they America based? What network is it? I like Verizon for the great coverage.
My first year was only $45, but last year I took a number of motorcycle trips and was required by the wifey to call at least twice a day!
The default calculator app on my phone isn't very good, I needed something with more power as an accessory when doing DSP work.

Vodafone is international, Europe-based (I think). They are one of the few providers we have down here in New Zealand. Verizon does do business in NZ, but mostly dealing with heavy IT networks. They give Cisco a fairly good run for the money.
As far as the trips, it's cheaper here to call cellphone-to-cellphone than cellphone-to-landline. Most of my calls are to the City Council raising an issue regarding maintenance in the city parks. It's always to a landline, and I make sure they never put me on hold.

Is it pink? If yes, then there you go. If not -
Does it have any feminine extensions, perhaps an attached mirror or a heart sticker glued on - then there you go.
See text messages - do they have a lot of "Aww", "Cute", {other feminine adjectives here}? - then there you go.
See if it has any feminine apps (CandyCrush, the one with a jumping unicorn, etc) installed - then there you go.
These distinctions should suffice the purpose.

What if it's a male that acts in a stereotypical gay way. Recently I've met a lot of people who acts like they where straight out of some tv show.
I think this is the way to guess the gender of the owner with a high probability of success but we have to consider these edge cases.

Does the name start with an i?

Look at the case - if it's predominantly pink, or has pictures of kittens, kids or other cute animals, it is likely to belong to a lady

If I may tweak your algorithm a bit the gender ratio (gr) can be defined as such
gr = (df \ dp)
the more the gr exceeds 200 the more you can be sure the owner is female, the more the gr drops below 0.2 the more sure you can be the owner is male. In the gr equation "df" is the number of "Duck Face" selfies in the gallery and "dp" is the number of dick pics.

"dp" is the number of what?

Your formula is more accurate but advanced  . Mine is catered to lowest common denominator

If it is an iPhone then it is owned by a woman, a homosexual, or a celebrity.
Easiest way, check the browser / twitter history for images of gentleman's literature.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

So... you are stalking someone and you still don't know if it's a guy or a girl... um....

I am curious as to where you're seeing all these phones that are owned by someones but are not currently in their possession (since the person holding the thing would presumably be a bit of a giveaway)? Are you fencing stolen phones? Got a job in Lost and Found? What?
