The times they Are a changing. Our needs, too. The pandemic that we are experiencing in 2020 has caused numerous changes in our routines and our concerns. One of them is the  temperature control  as a measure to detect a possible case of covid-19. In some establishments and public places we already begin to see arches to measure the temperature, but the really curious thing is when news about smartphones that would have this function begin to reach us  . An example is the  Honor Play 4 , a device that would equip an  IR sensor  with this capacity.

Measuring the temperature with the mobile: the possible great novelty of the Honor Play 4: Honor Play 4 could incorporate an effective measure against covid-19

It should be noted that, for now, these are rumors and as always you have to take them with tweezers until their official presentation arrives. But if these leaks finally turn out to be true, it is a feature that we could get a lot out of.

The news has come as a result of the image of a promotional poster of the device in which an infrared machine with a temperature meter is seen  . And, in view of current events, it would not be unreasonable for mobile manufacturers to begin to introduce it in their novelties. Of course it is not essential or the only reason why we should choose (or not) this terminal. It remains to be seen its effectiveness and its margin of error; in any case, it would not give us different information than a traditional pocket thermometer.

However, the  new Honor Play 4  would have features that would make it attractive on its own, such as a  quad rear camera or a  Kirin 990 5G processor . These features have already been revealed by Wei Xiaolong, Honor Play Product Manager.

Honor’s new “mobile thermometer” could hit the market this summer. We will stay tuned.
