We tested the Pixel 8 Pro's temperature sensor to see if it can hold its own against a dedicated IR thermometer.

Accuracy in cell testing can be affected by temperature, thus the need for temp-measurement sensors. And the positioning of that sensor is a sometimes overlooked, but essential, factor.

How Testing MEMS, Sensors Is Different These devices require more than an electrical input and output.

Activating the temperature and humidity sensors isn't the only thing Apple delivered with this software update. HomePod mini owners get lots of new functionality that we wanted to put to the test.

Sensors from left to right, top to bottom: EMF, Radiation, Humidity/Temp, Organicity. In turn, the UI (which we’re currently unable to test) approaches each measurement at two levels.
