I literally said I became aware of the issue after xiaomi launched phones like the redmi note 10 pro, I can see people having issues with it, Im just making sure to say that not every phone has promixity sensor problems, especially 2-3 year old ones.

For those unaware. There is no physical proximity sensor present in the phones. They are using software to mimic the proximity sensor, which sometimes works many time doesn't. I have mi 11x and its gets really irritating me always, especially at night time when AI can't recognize that I'm putting out my phone on my ear its just shutdown screen if i rotate it 90degree,make me too much disappointed, this is not a good thing kindly fix it, waiting for the solution

I bought redmi note 9 pro and it's a bad phone. Low voice and the software has bugs and randomly starts opening various applications. Phone goes on hold by itself during a call. It's a bad bad phone

First... moreIm having exactly the same issue on my redmi note 8T with the proximity sensor.Its so annoying.On top of that they are always late with their updates to their redmi smarthphones and leave them behind.Another thing is that their phone's screen and camera get scratched really easily.I will not be looking for this brand anymore (chinese trash).Never had any problems with samsung devices.

Certain screen protectors especially those tempered glass with black edge can affect the proximity sensor. Samsung's ultrasonic FPS also not working well with tempered glass and Samsung recommends film and plastic type protectors.

I bought new mi 10 t 5g and o up of the box I facing awkward issue of proximity sensor which I reported on Xiaomi community then researched myself that Xiaomi mi 10 t 5g doesn't even have proximity sensor . And that's the main reason they are using mic for the placement of proximity sensor and that thing was made just for cost saving purposes . I tried changing protectors and cases but no I was still facing issues during calls my phone screen never goes black during calls and sometimes it goes black and never gets light up again . Final solution was either use it with the problem or sold to some one who only uses it for gaming and multimedia purposes .

I am sick and tired of heari... moreSamsung and Apple, over the past decade, have tricked many others to pay more for phones they think are more durable when it's not. The Samsung phones are build in the same way as many chinese manufacturers including Xiaomi. They are even made in same areas and same factories with the same materials. To be fair, the consumers across the globe have paid too much for phones manufactured in China but with a Samsung or Apple label.

I'll forgive missing or lesser features in a flagship killer like a lesser camera, or even a lesser screen - but there is no excuse for a broken feature, even if it is sold for $50 with very few features.
They all need to work, and this is a core functionality critical bug. This is not something like not being able to change a ringtone, or a poorly colour-calibrated screen, or issues with sound output level over the dongle (as I also had on my F3 until he most recent update) etc.
unintentionally hanging up a call to the emergency services, or to your boss, or to a person that is important to you can have far-reaching real world implications that also can impact other people.
Sorry, but I don't accept that excuse - and I also work in R&D.
