The Pixel 8 Pro debuts a new temperature sensor, but it's so useless that I keep forgetting it's even installed on my phone.

    It’s not just that temperature sensors really aren’t things people use daily. It’s that this temperature sensor also really sucks.

    It’s slow, inconvenient, inaccurate, and short range. If you actually needed to measure temperature, a $15 IR gun does the job far, far better.

      Yeah i was surprised that it’s so bad, you have no indicator if the measurement was even done properly, you just get countless different results.

      How that left their factory is beyond me
