I deleted a post that included a link to a chinese made phone.
There did not appear to be any link to the question you raised.
What makes you think that cell phones are subject to damage/deterioration from anything other than the most viiolent and extreme cold weather situations? Where is your evidence?

This question bothers me greatly, is it widespread problem or only my cell phone works badly when it is frosty outside?
