I would have posted the source but like clockwork the same mistakes were made when people leak the pixel phones. They showed their own info, then deleted everything.

The temperature sensor is a weird choice. It's better than no weird sensors, but I can't see myself using it very often.

This was in development during the pandemic. So, it makes sense why they put it in. But still a weird choice in 2023. I think it will get replaced by lidar or something in 2024/25.

That makes sense. I guess it goes to show how long hardware development cycles are.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

yeah its insane. I won't be surprised if we will start seeing three-year dev cycles soon.

Didn't they do lidar in the P4?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don't believe it was lidar. Soli used something else.

As a parent I can say for sure the temperature sensor will be used a lot.
