Top 10 Smartphone's sensors - Explain

There are lots of smartphones that come with higher technology and day-by-day upgrades. And many smartphones are packed with unique and useful sensors to make our work. So friends, did you know how many sensors are in your smartphones? And what does that use?


Top 10 Smartphone's sensors - Explain

Here, we learn about smartphone sensors, how many types, their use, and more. So let's start learning to explore smartphone's sensor information.

1. Accelerometer 

2. Ambient Light sensor 

3. Proximity sensor

4. Gyroscope sensor 

5. Compass sensor 

6. Fingerprint sensor

7. IR blaster

8. Barometer

9. Thermometer

10. GPS 

1. Accelerometer

A sensor that can detect any Acceleration, Vibration X-Axis, Y-Axis, or Z-Axis movements. It can be helpful whether your Phone is in portrait (vertical)or landscape mode. The Accelerometer can also detect how Fast your Phone is moving forward in any line or direction. 

2. Ambient light sensor

This sensor can detect the level of lighting in the Vicinity and adjust the display brightness. The Auto brightness feature works based on the Ambient light sensor.

The Gyroscope can also detect directions like up/down and left/light with greater precision. It cannot detect the device speed measure that determines how much your device is titled. 


The Most popular game PUBG Mobile (BGMI) also uses a Gyroscope sensor to show an in-game camera view. And many other apps and games also use Gyroscope to give a realistic gameplay experience.

5. Compass 

Our smartphone is also equipped with a compass that is also known as a magnetometer. So it can detect our planet Earth's magnetic field. To find out the right direction. Mainly we used this sensor in Maps like Google Maps and Apple Maps, the sensor always points at the North Pole.

7. IR blaster 

The IR blaster is a very useful sensor because it helps us to control only remote control devices. Like A/C, TV, smart fan, smart light, IoT devices, and more, just need an app and internet connection for a short time.


IR blaster mainly comes in some flagship smartphones, but Xiaomi provides it in its cheaper phones as well.


Fun Fact:– There are millions of Xiaomi users but very few people know about the IR blaster.

8. Barometer 

Many High-end flagship smartphones come with a Barometer like Google Pixel, Samsung, and iPhone. The Barometer is useful for measuring Air pressure levels. It is quite useful for detecting weather changes. And also useful for calculating your area's altitude.

9. Thermometer

The majority of smartphones come with in-built Thermometers to monitor the CPU and battery temperatures. In case hardware or battery prevents overheating then the system will automatically shut down.


The Thermometer sensor can also detect your room temperature with the help of such an application. 

10. GPS 

The Global positioning system (GPS) is a connection between satellites and your device to navigate and it determines our location. The GPS technology is free for all to use in day-to-day life and also for businesses likeOLA and Uber.


Fun Fact: The GPS Technology doesn't need proper internet, that required is only for loading map details.

Conclusion

Here are the Top Ten most useful and also commonly used in all types of smartphone details. Some sensors are unique and only used in high-end flagship smartphones. And what do you think about the IR blaster in almost every Xiaomi smartphone?
