for(Account a:acc)
{

for(Contact c:a.contacts)

I can't figure out why your code is not working consistently. Try this version: 
trigger UpdateAccount2 on Account (before update) {

    List<Contact> contacts=[select id, Accountid, phone  from contact where Accountid in: trigger.newmap.keyset()];
    
        for(Contact c : contacts)
        {
            c.phone=trigger.newmap.get(c.Accountid).phone;
            system.debug(c.phone);
        }   
    update contacts;                    
}

Hi Pradeep,
 You are not able to update because of the SOQL doing on Account inside the Account trigger only.  In that case your code has not yet committed in DB, so that you will get old account values only.

Try this code it will work for you.
Trigger: 
trigger UpdateAccountContactPh on Account (before update) {

    if(Trigger.isBefore && Trigger.isAfter) {
		UpdateAccountContactPhHandler.UpdateAccountContactPhHandler(Trigger.oldMap, Trigger.newMap);
	}                 
}
Handler Class: 
public class UpdateAccountContactPhHandler {
    
    public void UpdateAccountContactPh(Map<Id, Account> oldAccountMap, Map<Id, Account> newAccountMap) {
        List<Contact> contactList = [SELECT AccountId, Phone  FROM Contact WHERE AccountId In: newAccountMap.keySet()];
    
        for(Contact objCon : contactList) {
            if(oldAccountMap.get(objCon.AccountId).Phone != newAccountMap.get(objCon.AccountId).Phone) {
                objCon.phone = newAccountMap.get(objCon.AccountId).Phone;
            }
        }
        try{
            if(!contactList.isEmpty())
                update contactList;
        }catch(DMLException dmlEx) {
            system.debug('----dmlException----' + dmlEx);
        }
    }
}

And Mark your ans if it works
Thanks

Hi Pradeep,

Try below code. It's working fine. 
----------------Helper Class--------------------

public class Update_Contact_Phone {
    public static void contactPhone(map<Id,Account> newAccMap){
        set <id> IdCollect = newAccMap.keySet();
        List<Contact> toUpdateconList = new List<Contact>();
        if(IdCollect.size() > 0){
            List <Contact> conList = [SELECT Phone,AccountId From Contact WHERE AccountId IN :IdCollect];
            if(conList.size() > 0){                
                for(Contact c : conList){
                    
                        c.Phone = newAccMap.get(c.AccountId).Phone;
                        toUpdateconList.add(c);
                    
                }
            }
            if(toUpdateconList.size() > 0){
                Update toUpdateconList;
            }
        }
    }
}

------------Trigger Class---------------------
trigger UpdateContacttPhoneNumberTrigger on Account (before update) {
    Update_Contact_Phone.contactPhone(Trigger.newMap);
    }
