It will become easier to buy a smartphone with a thermal imager and MIL-STD-810H
Military smartphones are beginning to gain popularity among ordinary users. Everyone dreams of plunging into the world of military subjects in order to be imbued with all modern technologies. Naturally, from the list of allowed. Several interesting solutions from very famous world brands appeared on the market at once. In particular, smartphones with thermal imagers and in a secure case - AGM Glory G1S and Blackview BL8800. These are new, technically advanced devices that are destined to oust all competitors in the market in this small but very popular Military segment.
Thermal imager in a smartphone - how it works
A thermal imager is, in fact, an infrared camera that can detect the thermal radiation of objects at a distance. In a smartphone, this is implemented through several infrared emitters and a microcircuit capable of translating the information received into a visual image on the phone's display.
The quality of the picture is not as important as the distance for measurement. The more powerful the optics, the farther the measuring infrared emitter works. Accordingly, a smartphone with a thermal imager, designed for domestic purposes, is a priori not capable of making long-range measurements with high detail of objects. But for home or rest in the forest, the device will fit.
As for the use of smartphones for military purposes, the question is more rhetorical. The optics are not powerful enough to see the outlines of the enemy in the night at a distance of more than 20 meters. And note that the most budget thermal imaging device costs about 1 US dollars. That is, the electronics in the smartphone is more entertaining. But it's worth paying for it - it's up to the buyer to decide.
