They are capable of anything, even replacing our good old mercury thermometers! Smartphones, which were already accompanying us in adjusting the heating of the house, opening the car or even underwater, to film our aquatic adventures, are now used to take our body temperature! In times of the fight against the coronavirus, useful or gadget?
The initiative comes from the subsidiary of Huawei, which produces the Honor phones. The Honor Play 4 Pro has just come out with this new (and very trendy) feature. Useful, when we see that many airports have put in place, since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, a test to find out if travelers entering the territory have a fever.

What does not prevent them from being contagious… On the other hand, if fever is one of the symptoms of Covid-19, not all patients have it.
Conclusion? The fever sensor of this smartphone will be talked about. Corn may have rather limited utility in the fight against the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic.
