New smartphone can detect strawberry sweetness

A new sensor called the SCiO can detect the sweetness of strawberries before you even eat them. It does this by using a miniaturized near-infrared spectrometer, which detects the molecular signature of things. The sensor is included in the new smartphone, the Changhong H2, that offers developers the tools to create different apps with one even detecting body fat.

The sensor was crowd-funded on Kickstarter a few years ago and is now heading into full retail, now that it has shrunk enough to fit into smartphones. A writer at the Verge had the chance to test the new smartphone sensor and while skeptical at first he found that it had accurately detected the sweetest strawberries out of the bunch. The phone will see release first in China and a release in the United states is planned to follow.
