Anonymous, 22 Aug 2021Oh, they dont know what the issue is? What BS.
They use ... morethey use an ultrasonic proximity sensor, just like the name, they use ultrasonic sound as the proximity sensor, you can try blocking the top mic / top speaker and it will trigger the proximity sensor, they also use that in combination with gyro also, tho i dont know if the light sensor is used or not. i believe that the problem lies in the algorithm they used, and also some 3rd party cases that blocks the mic/speakers too much.
the lates cn beta on the poco f3 solves most of my proximity issues.

And all of them are super slow to adapt to light, and don't adapt that well.
Sometime, when I get annoyed that the auto-brightness make the display impossibly dim, I put it under my desk lamp, so it reacts quickly, otherwise it can sit there for a while before adapting to any changes...
Proximity and ambient light were perfectly fine outside the display, there are more than enough space available in modern bezeless devices to still put them.
They are just more expensive and less effective under the display.

Not hating on Xiaomi, but this kind of things are something not even LG/HTC would do.
Why wouldnt they use a proper sensor? I'm pretty sure they are cheap to buy and use.

They use virtual proximity, which probably uses the help of gyroscope and brightness sensor and no dedicated proximity. What happens is that, if you try to attend the call when lying down or try to bend your head to attend the phone, the gyroscope doesnt register the change in axis and fails to address that as a proximity event. Use a effing dedicated proximity sensor xiaomi or atleast come half way like realme does which uses a shitty infrared sensor and a dual sensor approach.

From my experience with Xiaomi, they will fix the bug, but with each new update they will add new bugs.
