The Honor Play 4 is bringing back the relatively uncommon IR sensor (infrared) technology. This IR sensor is capable of measuring the temperature around the device, which isn’t exactly a new feature but is still quite rare.
This feature had also been hinted at a recent teaser for the upcoming handset. In the promotional poster image, a temperature checking infrared machine can be observed, which is used to measure a person’s temperature. So, we can expect such functionality to make its way to the Honor Play 4.

Recently, the Product Manager of Honor Play, Wei Xiaolong, revealed a few key features of its upcoming device. This included a quad camera setup on the rear, the Kirin 990 5G SoC, and an infrared sensor. While the latter two arrive as no surprise, the inclusion of the IR sensor adds a degree of additional functionality to a smartphone. One can use it to control home products like TVs, ACs, and more.
Although, the Honor Play 4’s infrared sensor also serves another special function. It can measure the temperature. During this time of crisis, with the Coronavirus pandemic being a cause for global concern, this feature can be especially useful. Many public spaces like malls, shopping complexes, and more will measure the temperatures of a person to determine if they are sick or not. Thus, the Honor Play 4 being able to measure temperatures of a person could make it quite useful, especially for general consumers.
