Default Could ZTE work in ice temperatures?

Hi, I was wondering if my ZTE BLADE would work for days in temperatures of -20C/-4F. Would that be possible?

I thinks yes because i have already used it in montain during skiing and one time i have putted it at the fridge () because it was very hot (50°c) and it was working good even after 10 min at the fridge

It did work fine at -18C here at Lithuania. So -20 should'nt be a problem. But you'll have to take the gloves off to use it, which is bad at such temperatures lol.

I won't be using it. I will leave it there with some solar panels and a 12V battery and make it to upload to FTP pictures from my favorite mountain.

Depending on the setup that may or may not work at all.

That kind of temperature on a constant basis is going to wreak havoc on the battery not to mention that condensation is inevitable since charging creates heat.

It will be dead within a week without proper shielding and protection.

Yes you are right. I will put it in an insulated box, insulated as much as it can be. Anyway it's an experiment and we will see what happens.
I will keep you informed
