"Google Pixel 8 Pro to Feature Temperature Sensor for Health Monitoring"
The upcoming Google Pixel 8 Pro is rumored to feature a dedicated IR thermometer sensor located on the rear camera housing, which can measure the temperature of external objects and a person's skin. The sensor requires access to bare skin and will not work correctly with any obstructions. While this feature is not new, it could find some niche uses as an external IR thermometer or be repurposed for other applications.
