Ever wondered why your phone's screen turns off when you bring your phone close to the ear during the call? But it does not turn off when you cover it with palm or finger.
This happens due to the improved proximity sensor. The proximity sensor is installed under the display, on all latest Galaxy Smartphones. It is now capable of detecting the angle of the device
How does the proximity sensor work?
Step 1: Make a call and bring the phone close to your ear
Step 2: The screen will turn off
Step 3: As you move the phone away, the screen will wake up
This eliminates accidental touch inputs during the call
And also saves the battery power
