I wonder what sensors could eventually be shrunk down to fit onto a smart phone.
You could also use them as a network to record various information across the globe

Perhaps

I wonder how long before the Chinese government decides that microphones must always be on to record the populace in real time for a glorious victory over subversion.

Yes it could be misused I imagine it wouldn’t be impossible to subvert the networks and have them as the eyes, ears and location of millions of people.
GPS is another one

They could possibly be able to do basic medical tests, blood sample analysis perhaps or sensor that analysis sweat
Or monitor a whole range of health parameters
This is interesting
Here is a plugin sensor pack for a phone lacking sensors
https://stacksocial.com/sales/sensordrone-11-sensors-for-your-smartphone
Sensordrone is here to turn your smartphone into the world’s first mobile, wearable, programmable, sensing computer. Packing more than 11 sensors into one tiny package, Sensordrone turns your smartphone into a carbon monoxide detector, non-contact thermometer, gas leak detector, lux meter, weather station, diagnostic tool & more. And if that’s not enough, Sensordrone is an open platform for all kinds of sensor and Bluetooth peripheral device apps, so you can connect external sensors for whatever project you’re working on. Currently, there are 11 Android apps available for free, and more are being developed every day – like data sharing apps so you can combine sensor data with smartphone capabilities and share on Twitter, Google+, Facebook, etc.Tau.Neutrino said:

The CCP do in fact have an extensive sound surveillance system, though, not using phones…apparently.

I’d definitely buy the Theranos sensors, they’re the grouse.
Why did flip phones lose popularity. Seem to me a perfect way to double your screen real estate but portable.

Yes some are around now
some are still in development
some are being miniaturised

That’s almost redundant funny enough.
I wonder if it’s actually declined when they can do so much more.

An K1 to K12 app could be developed foe schools to use all those sensors but within a classroom environment
also
a school phone could be developed which only uses those sensors and K1 to 12 sensor apps and locks out the distractions

This article discusses using sensors on Android phones, the sensor manager ADK, internal and external sensors and using a arduino .
The mobile phone thing is easy to sort out
An android OS dressed to Dept Ed specs locking out 3,4,5,G etc
Only Dept approved apps run on it
a K1 to K12 sensor science app, a calculator etc
maybe a school news bulletin
no internet browsing, no social media bullying, no game distractions etc
Schools can then brand their own phones with their school logo etc

Examples are telecom companies using the android OS but with their own in house front end running on top of the OS
So Education Department software running on android devices locking out certain features on a chosen device and enabling other features.
One way to get more science into schools.
Some more thoughts
smartphones could be designed and made without 3G, 4G 5G network for schools
or a similar model that has 3G, 4G 5G but can automatically switch to the schools network
Not a smart phone user, but:
FrogID is an app that identifies frog calls recorded on smartphone and tags them with GPS coordinates.
Australian Backyard Bird Survey is an app for smartphones.
I would love to find an app (or any software) that allows me to process a video to subtract one frame from the next in real time. This could be used for:
