The device contains sensors that monitor movement, orientation, and ambient light.
  • Gyroscope - Measures angular rotational velocity to detect rotation of the device.
  • Accelerometer - Measures the linear acceleration of movement to detect the orientation of the device.
  • Light Sensor - Detects ambient light and adjusts the screen brightness.
  • Proximity Sensor - Detects the presence of nearby objects without physical contact. The sensor detects when the device is close to your face during a call and turns off the screen, preventing unintentional screen touches.
