Did you know that the average smartphone has at least 10 sensors in them? To name a few:
- Camera
- Pedometer – tracking your steps daily
- Light sensor – the ability to reference the light in the room and adjust the screen brightness accordingly
- Thermometer – the internal operating system monitors temperature and will shut off if the system gets too hot
- Fingerprint sensor – provides added security to the phone
- Microphone – allows others to hear what you are saying
- Proximity sensor – tracks how close you are to the phone so that buttons aren’t pushed during calls
- Magnetometer – monitors the magnetic field to determine the direction the phone is moving
- Accelerometer – able to determine if you are holding the phone vertical or horizontal and adjust the screen accordingly
- Gyroscope – helps keep photos from being blurry from a camera shake
The phone also has a location tracker on the phone that pings local sensors and will push incentives or product information from nearby businesses (if this functionality is turned on).
