One of the things that users find difficult to digest in Xiaomi, Redmi and smartphones POCO is the sensor di proximity. This, for reasons related to savings and long-term contracts, is a virtual proximity sensor which unfortunately users do not like as much as it should. The new smartphone POCO X6 Pro (presented for a few days) has mounted the same as Redmi Note 13, Redmi Note 12 and 11. Let's see the details.
The virtual proximity sensor of POCO X6 Pro
This sensor, manufactured by Elliptic Labs, is known as AI INNER BEAUTY. An advanced technology based on a virtual proximity sensor, developed with artificial intelligence. Elliptic Labs, with its headquarters in Oslo, Norway, has already collaborated with Xiaomi for previous models, thus confirming a technological partnership of great importance.
The main functionality of this sensor also mounted on POCO X6 Pro is to turn off the screen and disable touch when the user brings the phone to his ear during a call. Not only this technological solution prevents involuntary actions, like hanging up or dialing numbers by mistake, but it's also essential for preserving your smartphone's battery life.

Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs, highlighted the importance of the collaboration with Xiaomi, underlining the company's role as a technological leader in the field of AI, ultrasound and sensor fusion. The partnership between Elliptic Labs and Xiaomi is not only a confirmation of the quality of Elliptic Labs' sensors, but also a demonstration of how software innovation can bring significant improvements in the smartphone industry.
Xiaomi's choice to keep the same proximity sensor in its latest models, including the POCO X6 Pro reflects an approach aimed at efficiency and technological continuity. Users can expect the same level of reliability and ease of use which they have already experimented with in previous models, benefiting from a technology that has proven (not always) effective and functional. Which many won't be too happy about.
