They aren't necessarily silly, but these options were definitely quirky, especially LG Wing.

Wait there is a phone with a temperature sensor? That actually seems pretty useful. I'd love for phones to start adding more sensors you can access.

There's several companies that make phones with built in thermal cameras.

I might have to look those up before the next phone change

My pixel 8 pro has one. It's kinda helpful when determining when to open the windows of my home

They should all have two, one for battery and one for the CPU.

There’s a lot more than just two temperature sensors inside your phone. Your screen has sensors, there’s a few chassis sensors, your CPU has probably 30+ inside of it etc.

The pixels is external which is unique I guess.
