The Google Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro are expected to launch in October this year. The CAD renders of the Pro model, which appeared in March, gave the first look at its design. The images revealed that it will feature a new sensor aside from the triple camera unit and an LED flash in its rear-facing camera bar. According to a report by 91mobiles, which cites tipster Wojciechowski as a source, the new sensor is nothing but a built-in thermometer that can be used to measure body temperature.
The report also carried a video that demonstrated how the Pixel 8 Pro can be used to measure body temperature. However, the video has been removed. It states that the thermometer available on the Pixel 8 Pro can also be used to measure the temperature of objects.
As per the report, the thermometer that is placed just below the LED flash on the camera needs to be held very close to the forehead or skin. One needs to ensure that it does not touch the screen or that there are no accessories on the forehead or skin.
After pressing the start button on the screen, one needs to move the phone towards the temple within five seconds. The measured temperature will show on the screen of the Pixel 8 Pro.
Rumors surrounding the Pixel 8 Pro have revealed that it will be equipped with a 6.7-inch flat OLED panel. The Google Tensor G3 chipset, which is reportedly based on Samsung’s unannounced Exynos 2300 chipset, will power the Pixel 8 Pro. The rear camera setup of the phone will be headlined by Samsung’s ISOCELL GN2 camera sensor. It is a 1/1.12-inch sensor with a 50-megapixel resolution.
