Elliptic Labs Shipping On Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro Smartphone

OSLO, Norway--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AIVirtualProximitySensor--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 announcing the launch of its AI Virtual Proximity Sensor™ INNER BEAUTY^® with long-time customer Xiaomi, the third largest smartphone maker globally, on the new Civi 4 Pro smartphone. The Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro, released for the global market, is driven by Elliptic Labs’ partner Qualcomm’s newly announced Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset. The contract for this launch was previously announced by Elliptic Labs.

"Elliptic Labs’ relationship with Xiaomi has now reached eight years, an impressive amount of time in the smartphone industry to continue working together,” said Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs. “The fact that we have shipped (57) devices with Xiaomi over these eight years is a testament on how valuable our AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform™ continues to be for the biggest and brightest smartphone makers. This partnership with Xiaomi has led to iconic devices like the Xiaomi Mix I and Mix II phones, both of which were first-of-their-kind bezel-less full-screen designs. By leveraging our leadership role in AI/ML, ultrasound, and sensor fusion technologies, customers like Xiaomi will continue to design products that are greener, smarter, and more human-friendly."

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.
