Nothing really, except in the first example it is not clear why you left your phone at home. But in the second sentence we know immediately why, you forgot it. That makes it clearer right away.

They mean the same thing but if you just say I left my phone at home it could also mean that you left it because you didnāt want to bring it with you. But if you only say I forgot my phone at home it is understood that it was an accident.
āI left my bag at homeā. Could mean you didnāt want to bring it with you. If you add, I realized it when I got to the office. Then it means you didnāt mean to leave it.
āI forgot my bag at home.ā makes it clear without adding āI realized it as soon as I got to the officeā that you didnāt mean to leave it at home.
