Phones w. Environment Sensors

[Gongalong]

Hi folks,

 

I see the Galaxy S4 has environment sensors (temperature/pressure/humidity), plus there's Thermodo (at some point), but are there any other phones with environment sensors?

 

TIA

It does? Haven't realized it on my phone lol

Yes, apparently S Health can access them. Presumably other apps will follow.

I think the Nexus before this one had a barometer, most have battery and CPU thermometers but these are no use for ambient. Should be good long run for distributed climate data.
