Your sensor shows the temperature of the phone's battery. Because it's the phone's most sensitive component.

The Li-Ion battery's temperature operating range is:
for discharging -20C (-4F) to +60C (+140F).
for charging 0C (+32F) to +45C (+113F).

Note, the battery heats up while discharging and charging.
But the main heat comes from the processor ... and that heat additionally increases the battery's temperature.
