‘Smartphone Sensor’-the general public has very
little idea about it. But without these sensors, your smartphone is completely
useless. They are used not only for conversations but also for watching videos
and playing games or clicking on photos and so on.
Not only that but these devices are also provided with smartphone
sensors that help them to work smoothly. Today in this article we will tell you
about some important smartphone sensors, which are used in all types of
handsets.
What is a ‘Smartphone Sensor’?
A smartphone sensor is a device that collects data
for a variety of purposes from any of the different sensing devices installed
on the user's phone. Several smartphone sensors have collectively modernized
our smartphones. Like
Proximity sensor
This is a very important smartphone sensor.
Whenever something comes near the smartphone, this sensor detects it instantly.
This sensor is present near the front camera of the phone. For some reason,
when the hand falls on this part, the red light comes on and the hand is
instructed to be removed. This sensor automatically turns off the screen light
when users call and talk to someone.
Accelerometer sensor
This smartphone sensor helps to fix the
orientation of the smartphone. The main purpose of this sensor on the
smartphone is to detect whether the smartphone is being put in portrait or
landscape mode and to optimize the content on the screen accordingly. The best
example of this is when we watch a video on YouTube or a picture in the
gallery, it automatically makes the picture or video responsive in portrait or
landscape mode by realizing the condition of the phone.
Gyroscope sensor
This smartphone sensor works with the
accelerometer sensor on the smartphone. This provides an extra level of
movement for better speed detection such as rotation or twisting. This sensor
is behind the 360-degree image seen on the phone. In addition to this, these
sensors help users to play motion-sensitive games.
Biometric sensor
Nowadays biometric sensors are offered in all types of
devices. These include fingerprint and face unlock sensors. With these sensors,
you can keep your device and personal information safe. This sensor scans the
user's thumb and mouth. The second time the user scans the thumb or face to
unlock the phone, these sensors collect the collected information and unlock
the phone by identifying the correct thumb or face.
NFC sensor
NFC stands for Near-Field Communication. With this smartphone
sensor, two devices within a radius of up to 10 cm can be connected together.
With this sensor, online payment can be made from data transfer. There are also
some more sensors. Such as -
A light sensor detects data about the amount of
light in the environment to adapt to the display according to the light
exposure in the environment.
A magnetometer detects the direction of the magnetic
north and determines the user's position in conjunction with GPS.
An infrared sensor can be used to detect the
user's movements for gesture recognition.
