I came across an app (CPUZ for Android in the Google store) which I wanted for another reason. I was rather surprised that there's a barometer in my Samsung S3 giving hPa to one decimal place. I have no idea how many phones have this sensor, but the app is free.


Us it as an altimeter. 37 mb per thousand feet.
