HONOR, one of the two signature smartphone brands of Huawei Technologies Co., unveiled its latest 5G smartphone that can take users’ temperatures via infrared ray. This can help consumers better keep track of their health amid the COVID-19 outbreak. The smartphone includes an IR temperature sensor in its rear camera block that’s able to “measure the surface temperature of people and objects.” “Just aim the phone at someone’s forehead, tap through the app, and the phone will give you a temperature reading,” Huawei’s website says of the functionality. The temperature check does not substitute for a coronavirus test, but it can test for a fever, which can present as a symptom for the virus. The Honor Play 4 Pro has a 6.57-inch screen. Honor, created in 2013 to complement the Huawei brand, focuses primarily on its target audience of millennials and people pursuing young fashionable lifestyles.(SD-Agencies) |
