Elliptic Labs (OSE: ELABS), a renowned global AI software company and a pioneer in AI Virtual Smart Sensors™, has unveiled its latest milestone with the integration of its AI Virtual Proximity Sensor™, INNER BEAUTY®, in Xiaomi’s newest smartphone release, the Redmi Turbo 3. Xiaomi, a longstanding partner and the third largest smartphone manufacturer worldwide, is introducing the Redmi Turbo 3 specifically tailored for the Chinese market, powered by Elliptic Labs’ cutting-edge technology and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. This collaboration builds upon Elliptic Labs’ previous announcement of its partnership with Xiaomi for this launch.
Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs, expressed the company’s pride in its position as a leading AI software provider in the smartphone industry, highlighting the enduring partnership with Xiaomi, having shipped nearly 60 devices since 2016. She emphasized Elliptic Labs’ commitment to delivering innovative solutions that enhance user experience and environmental sustainability. With its expertise in AI/ML, ultrasound, and sensor fusion technologies, Elliptic Labs continues to be the preferred choice for major smartphone OEMs, enabling the creation of greener, smarter, and more user-friendly products.
The AI Virtual Proximity Sensor INNER BEAUTY™ developed by Elliptic Labs offers advanced functionality by accurately detecting when a user brings the phone close to their ear during a call. This triggers the smartphone to automatically deactivate its display and disable touch functionality, preventing inadvertent actions such as hanging up or dialing numbers. Additionally, the screen deactivation contributes to prolonged battery life, enhancing overall user convenience.
While proximity detection is a standard feature in smartphones, Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual Proximity Sensor stands out as a software-only solution, eliminating the need for dedicated hardware sensors. By leveraging software-based sensors, it not only reduces device costs but also mitigates sourcing risks associated with hardware components.
