To contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic is still a major concern in 2021. A fever can be an early indicator of infection so you can see temperature measurement everywhere. To meet people’s need in daily life and make temperature-taking more convenient, the Chinese tech brand UMIDIGI integrates a new sensor, an infrared thermometer, into its smartphones, and provides them to the global market.
Since the launch of the world’s first entry-level smartphone with infrared thermometer UMIDIGI A7S, to fight against COVID-19, now UMIDIGI has 3 entry-level smartphones already featuring this feature, UMIDIGI A9, A9 Pro, and A7S. Of course, a smartphone’s infrared thermometer sensor might not be as accurate as conventional thermometers, but they can take the temperature of many people at a time. And UMIDIGI claims the minimum division value of its phone thermometer is accurate to 0.2 ℃, making it very close to conventional thermometers
In a YouTube video, UMIDIGI demonstrates how the temperature measurement feature works. Just aim the phone at someone’s forehead, tap through the app, and the phone will give you a temperature reading.
