Why Do Smartphones Feel So Cold When You Put Them in the Fridge?

Smartphones feel cold when you put them in the fridge because they give off heat. Just like how your hand feels warm after holding a hot cup of soup, your phone gives off warmth, and that makes it feel colder in the fridge. The fridge is already cool, so when your phone starts cooling down, it feels even more chilly to you.
