The Google Pixel 8 Pro launched last year with a built-in thermometer. With COVID all but over, Google adding a thermometer to its new flagship Pixel phone was an odd move. Worse, you could only use the sensor for measuring the temperature of food and other objects. You could not use it on humans, as the company still awaited FDA clearance. With the surprise January Pixel Feature Drop, the Pixel 8 Pro's temperature measuring capability was updated to work on humans. And if you were doubting this feature and passing it off as a gimmick, think again. Google says the Pixel 8's body temperature feature is more accurate than forehead thermometers.
