Wait there is a phone with a temperature sensor? That actually seems pretty useful. I’d love for phones to start adding more sensors you can access.

There’s several companies that make phones with built in thermal cameras.

My pixel 8 pro has one. It’s kinda helpful when determining when to open the windows of my home

They should all have two, one for battery and one for the CPU.

There’s a lot more than just two temperature sensors inside your phone. Your screen has sensors, there’s a few chassis sensors, your CPU has probably 30+ inside of it etc.

The pixels is external which is unique I guess.
