I wondered if you can use the thermometer to check how hot the phone is getting because if it’s anything like the last model on the 7 pro it’s going to need it. I’ve always loved my pixels but once I got the s23 ultra I have basically had my pixel 7 pro sitting in my drawer in my bedroom it’s almost unusable

As a handyman and parent I was actually excited for the temp sensor. There are many times that I am troubleshooting something and wish I could verify the temp read outs I am seeing without having to track down my other tool bag for a thermal imager or temp gun (its always in the other tool bag, lol) . And once it’s approved for forehead temp checks it will be so easy to check my kid for a fever. Not gonna lie though would have been awesome if it was lidar for 3d scanning.

Yes lidar would be super useful, hope they add it soon

You realize it has to be 2 inches or closer right? Lol. It won’t replace a temp gun. A laser temp gun is what 10 bucks? Depending on what your temping like computer etc that sensor on the phone aint gonna cut it

I love nice stuff like the temperature sensor—it’s not necessarily a “needed” feature, but it’s one of those things that can get sincerely handy, especially once they get clearance to read human temps. Thermometers aren’t usually in pocket like your phone is; it could be nice in case your child starts feeling under the weather while you’re out somewhere.
Hopefully this is well-received and we can start getting more little features (fingers crossed for IR blaster).
I love the flat screen on the Pixels. They, in my opinion, look a lot better than curved. And this is coming from someone who was once a curved screen truther. I always felt the Pixel 6 and 7 were too slick because of the curved screen, and screen protectors were a pain to install.
Overall, aesthetically, I think this looks like the best Pixel to date. Now, we still gotta see how it works in the hands of consumers, given the Tensor chip’s sometimes wonky performance, with overheating, modem issues etc. Hopefully G3 performs a lot better. I’ll definitely be interested in getting a 8 Pro.

I am sitting here just pissed off google still doesn’t have a small pro device these phablets are horrible! I went from a 7 pro to regular 8 because I cant stand these huge phones I am pissed I have to sacrifice features just because I dont want a tablet in my pocket
Yellow

Then don’t buy pixel phones
Tony P
October 4, 2023 at 5:24 pm
@Yellow whats wrong with wanting the company that makes the best phones to do better? If google was to copy one thing from apple it would be the whole pro and pro max thing so if people want a stupid large phone like idiots they can have it, but the every day person isn’t screwed over. phones should be easy to use in one hand if you want a tablet buy a tablet

I love the way that Google has come up with real world uses for the cell phone. Anyone with a young kid trying to gauge the temperature on the bottle or someone like me that’s dealing with liquids and experiments all the time. This is going to be a great tool to use. Bravo Google!

Its a spyware phone, its gonna record your temperature gonna see your videos in the name of “video booster” and sell your data to companies
