Accelerometer
Capacitive typehardware sensor
Measures the acceleration force in m/s2 that is applied to a device on all three
physical axes
Common uses like motion detection (shake, tilt, etc.)
Gyroscope
Measures angularrate using Coriolis effect
Similar to accelerometer
Measures a device's rate of rotation in rad/s around each of the three physical
axes (x, y, and z)
Common uses like rotation detection (spin, turn, etc.)
Obstacle SensingCircuit or IR Sensor Circuit
common use phone position during a call

Common uses ofother sensors
Ambient light sensors used for Controlling screen brightness.
The digital compass that's usually based on a sensor called magnetometer
provides mobile phones with a simple orientation in relation to the Earth's
magnetic field.
As a result, your phone always knows which way is North so it can auto rotate
your digital maps depending on your physical orientation.
Fingerprint sensor changed the smartphone security
