Five phones that come with heart rate sensor

With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, people have become a lot more conscious about their health. Seeing an opportunity here, Lava Mobiles has launched a new feature phone, dubbed Lava Pulse, which comes with a heart rate sensor. While this sounds interesting for a mobile phone, it is not the first phone to do so.

To recall, Samsung first introduced a heart rate sensor on its smartphone back in 2014 with the Galaxy S5. Since then, the South Korean giant added the feature to every subsequent flagship model and finally let it go with the Galaxy S10. While a lot of smartphone manufacturers tend to copy each other, this was a feature that never really took off.

Lenovo did launch its ZUK Z2 Pro smartphone with one, but that phone never made it to the Indian shores.
