My cousin in Canada was complaining about how his iPhone simply refuses to work for 3 months a year when the temperature is -15 or lower.

So I went through some options and eventually asked him if he had checked out the Galaxy S4 or S5 Active, as it should be much more rugged and you can use it with gloves too, etc.

However I can't find any information online as to whether either phone actually does work at those kind of temperatures.

Does anyone have real world use of these, or other smartphones that can stand skiing/constant freezing etc?
