I’m currently cold-weather camping, and I’m worried my phone will freeze.
EDIT: Felt like I needed to clarify this, it’s about 35° F, or 1.6° C.

Kind of.
The battery will be the first to die in cold weather. The chemistry in batteries does not like cold weather.
Depending on how cold we’re talking your camera may fail. Specifically any shutters/focussing mechanisms it has. They can be mechanical and can freeze.
Actual electronics will not be impacted too much. Older screen technology would play up a bit, but I doubt it bothers new ones. If you get super, super cold then the electronics will perform unusually which would likely cause it to be non functional, but those kind of temperatures would probably kill you first!
