Weird requirements for a smartphone :D

Rappelin

So, as you can see to the left I'm from Finland. In Finland we go in the sauna almost every day, or atleast I do. When i go in the sauna my preferred temperature is about 80 degrees Celsius, or 176 degrees Fahrenheit, or possibly even 353 Kelvin for the nerds out there. Also it's very humid in the sauna, because you throw water on the hot stones, to create steam. You're probably seeing where I'm going with this.
I need a phone that can take 80 degrees of heat and that doesn't get ruined by steam. Also it would be nice if i could bring it in the shower after the sauna.
Why do you need to bring your phone in the sauna, you might ask. Well, I don't. But i want to. 
So if the phone that can handle all of this is in existence I would appreciate it if someone gave me a name.

Samsung S5 was dunked into boiling hot water and still left functioning afterwards. However, phones are not meant to run in high heat. If you're going to be running anything intensive, it will go into thermal cool down mode and be unusable until it cools off. But otherwise, the S5 comes waterproof. The S5 and S6 active would also work as they are water proof as well.

first off, the phone wont get that hot, because your not getting up to 80*C correct? but it will still get very hot. id check out samsungs active series. as my samsung s4 handles 68*C everyday and still works fine

Sony Xperia Z3. Waterproof completely, can handle the steam and water. As for temperature, it will handle it as well as any other phone, I suggest not doing anything intensive like playing demanding games.

80°c is too high, when i leave my phone in my car on a hot summer day and i come back to find it burning to the touch it's usually at 70°c, also it refuses to work until it cools down (S5 btw)

@Rappelin What are you going to be doing in the sauna? If it's just non-demanding stuff, I'd go with the CAT B15 that @Frankie suggested. It's one of the few waterproof smartphones that still work properly when wet, and it's relatively inexpensive enough to be easily replaceable if the heat wears it out.
