Sensors in smartphones


  • The world is full of technology..Smartphones,Smart watches,and various other Gadgets and appliances
  • But how many of us know about this technology.for instance,How many sensors are in our phone?How are smartphones made?,somethings about phone's battery?etc.etc
  • Ask yourself,how much you know about the questions i asked,don't have the answer,right? but don't worry we are here to help you guide in the latest technology
  • Today i will talk about the types of Sensors used in the latest Smartphones.
What are sensors? How many Sensors are there in a Smartphone,and their uses in the smartphones are the Topic of discussion now...

  • First of all the answer of the question about What are sensors,A sensor in the Smartphone get's activated with the surrounding environment made by us,specifically,and pass this information to the CPU of the mobile system.
  •  sensors such as,

  1. Proximity sensor

  • It is a 'important feature in touchscreen smartphones.It can sense how far is our smartphone from our ears,or face.
  • The display light in our smartphone automatically turns off when we are on a call or our phone is near the sensor during a call,and this feature saves a lot of battery life.
  • The proximity sensor location on Samsung galaxy S III phone,
2.Accelerometer
  • It is a prime Feature in new smartphones,it is responsible for portrait and landscape movement of the phone.
  • The orientation of the phone is detected by the accelerometer,When you rotate the phone in landscape mode the display or the screen also rotates,this is due to accelerometer sensor.
3.Gyroscope
  • Gyroscope is particularly famous due to its use in the gaming business
  • Due to gyroscope,all the 3 axis(X,Y&Z)are tracked by rotation/pitch ratio. 
4.Ambient Light Sensor
  • Automatic Screen brightness Adjustment on  latest smartphones is due to the Ambient Light sensor.
  • Battery life is improved by this useful smart feature of smartphone's.








5.Barometer
  • Barometer in smartphones determine how high you are in the maps application
  • This is particularly useful for the Mountain climber's.
  • Normal maps application in a smartphone is 2D but because of barometer sensor the 3D positioning of an individual is known.






The future for the sensor is seems to be more Vibrant,don't get surprised if in future sensors control our heart,brain or our whole body...
