6 Senses of Every Smart Phone

Just like our Sense Organs, Even our phones have digital sense.

Proximity Sensor :

Ever noticed how your display goes off when  you place the handset to your ear during a call ?
It is because of proximity sensor placed near the earpiece of a phone. When you bring the device close to the cheek this sensor turns off the screen to avoid inadvertent touches. It also conserves battery.

Barometer :

Higher-End phones  come with a built-in barometer-a-sensor that can measure atmospheric pressure.
Data measured by it is used to determine the altitude, Which in turn results in improved GPS accuracy.
Some of the other sensors used are thermometer(Used to monitor the temperature inside the device and its battery), air humidity sensor, Pedometer (to count the number of steps taken), heart rate monitor and fingerprint sensors that lock/unlock the device.

Gyrosecope:

The Gyroscope adds an additional dimension to the info supplied by the accelerometer  by tracking rotation or twist. Some of the cool shortcuts in out phones like "Double karate chop to turn the torch On/Off" or "Twist to open the camera" are possible because of gyroscope.

Ambient Light Sensor:

This sensor automatically optimizes the phone's display brightness depending on t he environment.
So, in a dimly-light surrounding, the ambient light sensor jack up the brightness level. This enhances the overall user experience and save power. but in most devices, it is either too bright or too dim-nothing in-between.

Compass :

Like a compass, the function of this sensor is to give right direction but not with the help of a magnet. compass functionality in phones is enabled by a megnetometer magnetic field. As a result your phone can display accurate directions no matter what's its orientation.

Accelerometer :

This tiny piece of equipment is built into the circuitry of a phone. its function is to adjust the orientation of a phone according to the viewing angle of the user. For Example, Smart Phone rotate their display between portrait and landscape depending on how you title it we all use this feature while watching videos, Playing games or clicking pictures.
