Google worked on its Pixel series for a long time, which made it the leader in Android smartphones. This device is known for clean software, excellent cameras, and Google’s ecosystem. Pixel Pro models are now also going to get a new capability that allows users to measure the temperature of an object.
Pixel Thermometer App Auto Detect Materials
In a report of Android authority This feature will be seen in the Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro, and there is also a temperature sensor on the back of the device. This unique contactless sensor lets the user measure the temperature of an object using the phone. To measure the temperature with the sensor, first open the installed thermometer app and then select the type of material to be scanned.
Finally, keep the phone about two inches away from the object and click on the ‘tap to measure’ button. After this, the user will get the temperature measurement of that object. Google is also going to add material auto-detection to the Pixel Thermometer app soon.
The Pixel Thermometer app v1.0.676362763 was spotted via the string. It seems like Google is constantly pushing the limits in terms of feature, functionality, and innovation. The Pixel Pro could make the device even more powerful and versatile for everyday use when it comes to easily checking the temperature of objects.
Over the past few years, many smartphones have incorporated environmental sensors like a barometer, humidity detector, and ambient light sensor, but this could be the first device to use this contactless sensor. Pixel Pro devices could easily take temperature readings of cups of coffee, computers, bodies, etc via Pixel Thermometer app.
On the other hand, some other smartphones and wearables have tried this temperature sensing feature, but Google has succeeded. An accurate, reliable temperature sensor could also give a competitive edge to the Pixel Pro. In the future, this feature could be integrated with Google Assistant, allowing users to ask their phone the temperature of an object and get a voice response.
