Elliptic Labs Launching Its AI Virtual Proximity Sensor on the New HONOR Magic V Flip Smartphones

Oslo, Norway --- Elliptic Labs (OSE: ELABS), a global AI software company and the world leader in AI Virtual Smart Sensors™ currently deployed in over 500 million devices, is shipping its AI Virtual Proximity Sensor™ INNER BEAUTY® on HONOR’s Magic V Flip smartphone. This Magic V Flip device is a modern innovative smartphone with full screen clamshell foldable design, a first for HONOR. Elliptic Labs’ partner Qualcomm will drive the Magic V Flip with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. Elliptic Labs signed the contract for this shipment in March 2024.

AI Virtual Proximity Sensor INNER BEAUTY
Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual Proximity Sensor detects when a user holds their phone up to their ear during a call, allowing the smartphone to turn off its display and disable its screen’s touch functionality. This keeps the user’s ear or cheek from triggering unwanted actions during the call, such as hanging up or dialing numbers. Turning off the screen also helps conserve battery life.

Proximity detection is a core capability that is used in all smartphones, but Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual Proximity Sensor is a unique, software-only solution that delivers robust proximity detection without the need for a dedicated hardware sensor. By replacing hardware sensors with software sensors, the AI Virtual Proximity Sensor reduces device cost and eliminates sourcing risk.
