I really wish this was how the thermometer on the pixel phones worked, I'd actually use it then.
I mean it's nice not having to keep track of a dedicated thermometer, but it's such a hastle to use.

Fun fact: the heat measured is just infrared light, which tell you the objects temperature with the principles of Black Body Radiation, so if an object is reflective, it most likely also reflects infrared and you will see the reflected objects temperature.
If your first thought was "wait, infrared like tv remotes?" Yes! Point the tv remote at your camera to see how "hot" it gets (it's not hot but it's sending a lot of infrared through other means)

My go to is to upside-down spray canned air at the PCB. once the canned air boils off, it leaves a layer of frost and you can immediately tell what is hot because it melts the frost.

Cool! Or, warm, I guess I should say..

Are you sure you're dull? This is thrilling

Looking for a phone with this, a Geiger counter, and a light spectrum analyzer
