Redmi Note 12S which proximity sensor does it use?

May 19, 2023

It was to be expected that Xiaomi would use the same again this year proximity sensor of past years on its latest generation devices. We have seen previous series of smartphones integrate a virtual proximity sensor created by Elliptic Labs. Unfortunately, as we know, this sensor is not a symptom of exceptional quality no matter how advanced the technology is. The problems are many and we will also find them on the Redmi Note 12S model. Indeed, the Norwegian giant has announced that AI Virtual Proximity Sensor it is also present on this series.

What proximity sensor does Redmi Note 12S have? The virtual one, like all the other previous Redmis. Here's how it works

Redmi Note 12S has the proximity sensor of Elliptic Labs, the same that also integrate other mid-range and top-of-the-range devices of the Chinese company. Elliptic Labs, a Norwegian artificial intelligence software company and world leader in Virtual Smart Sensors, announced than its virtual proximity sensor AI Virtual Proximity Sensor is equipped on Redmi Note 12S. Apparently the Chinese giant has signed a contract of conspicuous dimensions as regards the supply of proximity sensors for its smartphones.

The virtual proximity sensor AI from Elliptic Labs turns off the smartphone display and disables the touch screen functionality when users hold the device close to their ear during a phone call. Without this ability to detect proximity, a user's ear or cheek could accidentally trigger unwanted actions during a call , such as hanging up or dialing while the call is in progress. Automatic screen shutdown also helps preserve battery life. Proximity sensing is a fundamental feature used in all smartphones in today's market.

Elliptic Labs' AI Virtual Proximity Sensor offers proximity sensing without the need for a dedicated hardware sensor. By replacing hardware sensors with software sensors, the virtual proximity sensor AI decreases the costs of the device and eliminates procurement risk. As far as we know though, Redmi Notes 12S it is the only model in the series to mount this proximity sensor. It is unclear whether the other models have the same as well.
