Anything else I should check?
I want a phone with a thermal imager but I'm worried it would be a shit phone if I did because it'll be a 10 year old industrial affair

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

How important is it to have it built in? Could just get a FLIR add-on module
Yeah. There's also separate cameras you can get that plug in with usb-c to the side of your phone.
Check your ceiling and walls.
That's a really neat idea for a horror device. You can see evidence of the creature(s) in your walls, but it's very blurry (heat signature spreads out when moving through the drywall), and also delayed (takes time to radiate from warm spots, and also to form new spots).
I'd love to try making a horror game with that angle, but ADHD has me by the balls 😞
About 70% of your pizza is 70° hot!
I bought one just to check equipment after I've run it all day. Checking the baler and combine for bad bearings periodically will hopefully prevent an expensive fire.
I found an uninsulated stud space in my friend's house using one of these. He couldn't figure out why the room was always cold, they are neat
I have a FLIR camera too and my gas range runs at 250°C confirm?
I’ve seen FLIR thermal cam attachments for your phone not but a phone itself. Is that what you mean?
No, it's a CAT s62 phone with built in FLIR
$300 for a phone with flir sounds like a good deal considering flir cameras are 300 and up

Great way to check for roof leaks after a rain
I have 3 glassbottles in my fridge, that I use for filling up my water bottle I carry around. I have a pixel 8 pro with a thermometer. And I use it to check which bottle have the coldest water if Iam I doubt.
I would have endless amounts of fun with this
The water coming out of the shower head or faucet when it’s warm enough to be comfortable, but not so hot that it’s scalding.
