Huawei’s new phone can now take your temperature

With coronavirus an ongoing pandemic, checking fever when you feel ill is one of the first thing,now you can check using your phone, if you buy Huawei‘s new Honor Play 4 Pro, it has a temperature sensor built-in.

To use the temperature sensor, you open up the app and apply the phone directly to your forehead, as shown in this Weibo video. The infrared sensor supports temperatures from -20°C (-4°F) to 100°C (212°F)

The device is currently only available in China, where the version with an infrared sensor is retailing for 2,999 yuan or about $420 USD. In any case, with more phones adding IR cameras by the year, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a similar feature show up on more devices in the future.
