iFixit shows off what’s powering the Pixel 8 Pro in its latest teardown video, offering a look at the temperature sensing tech that’s exclusive to the device.
We’ve already seen a teardown of the standard Pixel 8 model, but now iFixit has taken apart the $999 Pixel 8 Pro, offering a close look at the new temperature sensing tech that lives beneath the phone’s display. iFixit’s Shahram Mokhtari starts by removing the Pixel 8 Pro’s screen using a heating mat, a clamp, and a pick. After disconnecting the display from the device, Mokhtari folds back the 5G mmWave antenna cable and unscrews the main frame.
Finally, we get a look at the built-in thermometer that’s exclusive to the Pixel 8 Pro. Mokhtari offers a super zoomed-in look at the component... but it doesn’t look like much other than four circular sensors. When the phone is actually put together, you can find the temperature sensor within the camera bar on the back of the device. It’s supposed to provide you with accurate temperature readings of surfaces, with body temperature readings awaiting FDA approval.
