Pixel 8 Pro's gets a temperature sensor - here it is in use
9To5Google
The thermometer app in the Pixel 8 Pro has multiple materials that it can take a reading of: Food & organic, Beverages & water, Cast iron, Ceramic & glass, Matte metal, Shiny metal, Plastic & rubber, Fabric, Wood, and Walls & windows.
After picking one, you point the sensor within 5cm of the object to quickly get a temperature reading.
In the future, after FDA review and certification, you will be able to measure your body temperature which can be saved in the Fitbit app.

The Pixel 8’s generative AI wallpaper feature is SO COOL!
You can create brand new wallpapers that nobody else has ever seen just by choosing a few topics and colors from some preset options. While you can’t go wild with custom prompts, you still have a ton of choice!
After you create and apply a wallpaper, it’s saved to your device so you can change to it at any time. You can also tap the pencil icon to modify the prompt used to generate it.
The wallpapers you generate have metadata added to them that lists the AI wallpaper version, the prompt used to generate it, the transform matrix, and a “credit” line that says “AI-generated with Google.”
Under the hood, Google’s generative AI wallpaper app uses an AI-generated text-to-image diffusion model to create wallpapers. (I believe at one point it used Parti, but that may have changed.) All the processing is done server-side, so it takes a few seconds for it to work.
The generative AI wallpaper feature is coming first to the Pixel 8. Since it works entirely server-side, there’s no reason it can’t come to other Pixels in a future update, like the upcoming December 2023 Pixel Feature Drop. (It’s being tested on the Pixel 6 & Pixel 7, in fact.)

The Google Clock app on the Pixel 8 can show weather info for different cities on the home screen! You have to go to settings to enable “local weather on clock” after which you’ll see weather info in the Clock tab as well as when using the “World” clock widget.
Note that the weather information is actually provided by a separate app called “Weather” (package name
This feature might come to the Pixel 5a and later in the December 2023 Pixel Feature Drop, but right now it’s only available on the Pixel 8 series.

com.google.android.apps.weather) and not from the Google Clock app itself.
