Today, let's get to know the various features that today's smartphones come bundled with.
- Proximity Sensor
- A Proximity Sensor is a sensor that is able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact. This is possible through emission of an electromagnetic radiation while looking for change in the field or return signal. In some of the HTC phones, proximity sensor is being used very well. When the phone rings and you turn the phone over, it automatically goes into a silent mode. The other famous application of ‘Proximity Sensor’ is in car bumpers where the distance to nearby cars is sensed in order to facilitate parking.
- Accelerometer
- In the context of mobile phones, accelerometer was primarily used as a tilt-sensor for tagging the orientation of photos taken with the built-in camera. Thankfully, it has been extended to other applications like messaging where tilting the phone changes the layout of the keyboard from either landscape to portrait orientation or portrait to landscape orientation. The presence of an accelerometer also allows people to play games with amazing ease especially in racing games where tilting the mobile phone can make cars move from right to left or left to the right.
- HDMI Mirroring
- Most smartphones today come with an HDMI port or mini-HDMI port or a micro-USB port. An HDMI cable is used to connect the smartphone and the HDTV (Most of the HDTVs being manufactured today also come inbuilt with an HDMI port). After successfully connecting the smartphone you can view content (like games, video) that is being played on the smartphone on the big-screen TV. This feature is called HDMI Mirroring. If the phone has a micro-USB port and doesn't have an HDMI port, an MHL (Mobile High-definition Link) adapter can be used to connect the smartphone and the HDTV.
Stay Tuned..!!
