Just a heads up, the thermometer does work on humans, but Google needs to get FDA clearance as usage as a potential diagnostic device could turn the unit into a medical device. As I understand, they're going through the clearance process right now, so hopefully we'll have an update on a couple months with a setting for people

[@vcscharan6112]

How can smart watches measures hearteate and spo2 ... Does this smart watches have FDA clearence ? I don't think so ... Google could able to make thermometer to test on human body by write caution like "Not for medical purpose "

[@TheTransitmtl]

​@@vcscharan6112Which is exactly what they write when you activate it. What do you think would happen if they have this warning and someone uses it for a fever and dies.

[@AtomicSymphonic]

​@@vcscharan6112The watches do, indeed, have FDA clearance. The Pixel Watch design was handled by FitBit, which is now a Google/Alphabet subsidiary. They've been dealing with FDA-cleared devices for a long while. And Apple's smartwatches have that clearance, too. There was a big fuss in tech media about their ECG functionality a few years ago when it first came out and the FDA asked Apple to disable it until it passes their certification tests.

[@OhPhuckYou]

​@@vcscharan6112Smart watches don't offer all of their capabilities in the US because they're required to have FDA approval for several functions. Samsung Galaxy Watches can check blood pressure in Asia, but cannot in the USA.

[@P_double_H]

Headphones Jack and SD Card slot is a dead technology in flagship phones. The jack adds weight and could lower IP ratings, plus it occupies space used for other things. The ad card slot slows down the storage speed, that's why they are going with fast SSD technology.

[@adityapathak2046]

@MrXhandsome SD Cards are Used in Handheld Consoles for Loading and Playing Games same with Samsung Phone (which have SD Card Slot) SD Cards have Read Speeds upto 200MB/s and upto 90MB/s of Write Speed Enough for 4K Recording in Phones and GoPro, Insta360 Action Camera. Headphone Jack is still Relevant in Music, Film Industry and for majority of time when You lose Headphone Jack You Lose FM Radio (which is Useful in Condition of Natural Calamity and when Internet is not available) Headphone Jack has DAC and Hi-Res Lossless Audio Files Transfer support with no latency which Bluetooth could never had These two things are Still Relevant + They are no Burden in IP Ratings of Phones Examples Sony Xperia Phones, Samsung Galaxy S5 (with Removable Battery too) If the Brand wants they can do anything but they don't Provide SD Card Slots and Headphone Jacks for Selling 100-250$ of TWS and Cloud Storage Subscription which should be an option not forced.

So I instantly had to go walk into the thick Aussie bush which was fairly overgrown at this time of year, found it in bits, clipped it back together and it was literally fine.

You should also do small drop tests.

During 7 years, this would definitely happen (obviously not as often as burning the screen with a flame torch, keep doing this useful test !)
