Face id
I’d bet on IR Time Of Flight not ultrasonic, which would match with the light seen.
My k20 pro doesn’t have any such constant light (i checked using camera on another phone)
I’m guessing is checking for your face so if you’re reading something for a long time it won’t dim your screen when you’re still reading
The light sensor does not emit IR, it is passive.
This is a IR illuminator for face unlock or proximity.
It maybe for you. But for me it’s not. Notches and lcd displays are deal breakers for me
That’s the ultrasonic detector. It… Detects.
No it does not. Cover that light during a call and the screen goes dark…put an object 5cm from the phone while the phone is on the table and the screen will go dark
Quite normal, human’s eyes can’t see IR lights. But camera’s eyes can ! And in the screen it’s convert into white light… Test it with your tv remote and your cellphone camera, it’s amazing 😉
That is not the ir blaster it sits on top of the phone the light we see is from the top bezel of the screen wich is the ambient light sensor.
It’s not I.R! It’s a proximity sensor!
No, I’m talking about the ir dot on your face so you can unlock your phone in low light. I’m not talking about the camera.
Scanning your face and body building a clone of you. By now youve been replaced. Your memories implanted into the clone version of you. The real you is no longer. This was the dividing line. Remember it. Things will taste different, people will seem different but its all in you head. Everything is in your head.
I had an old samsung and it always did this while using it. I’ve also seen some iPhones that do this
It doesn’t? That’s a deal breaker for me.
Yes. I did debloat it with that Xiaomidebloater tools.
Is MIUI still having problems with the notifications?
I think it’s approximating proximity.
Close! Not device but something disguised as a device. Owner must be alerted all the time as it can transform into…

But not this one IR diode. You need an IR camera to do that. This, on the phone is just like a normal LED
They do. They can use the front camera, but it’s not safe, because it does not scan the depth of the face like to iPhone 11 for example. You could hold a picture of you in front of the phone and it would unlock. Also the 9t pop up cam shouldnt be used for face unlock
I just mentioned it because IR can be used to help face unlock, not just to control your TV.
I think this is the exact reason why it’s blasting so much. The potential danger of it opening whilst in a pocket etc. As to all the people saying you cannot see it etc, it will be invisible to naked eye but use another phone camera and you will most likely seen the IR. IR can be dangerous to the eye at high power as it does not activate blink reflex, but at these most likely very low powers I’m sure you will be safe. I do not think other phones use the IR proximity sensor quite to this level (as much) whilst not in a call?
Underrated comment
Wait isn’t that phone the mix 3 or mi 9t , those don’t have it face unlock
Also because of it’s proximity sensor: it doesn’t really exist.
What it has is an ultrasonic sensor and guessing user’s actions based on data from the gyroscope.
And face unlock
I understand pocket mode, but how does the ir light help adjuat auto brightness ?
Same, I’ve never seen it.
Chinese intel scanning your iris bro.
China is trying to id you
Goddamit, did you develop his app? He even wrote on his head “do not develop my app”
that looks like the proximity sensor. probable some kind of pocket detection something like that is turned on.
Chinese are aliens
Same design, but the Mi9 T Pro has a better processor, 4K 60fps video, gorilla glass 5, a super AMOLED screen, and supports fast charging at 27W.
Quite the difference if you ask me.
Same model and even the same background!
Regular mi 9t doesn’t have the snapdragon 855 and laser AF though
Indeed.
damn that would be cool
What’s that hahaha
Aliens Bro, What else could it be?
I mean you can cook things with visible light if there’s enough of it.
Well if your screen is turned off it also don’t need to check if it’s in a pocket.
i checked mine, sensor only works when you open the screen, when the screen is off, sensor does not work.
IR is just light. You don’t get cancer or anything like that from a little light.
I mean in terms of wavelength. Even if you were blasted with IR, you would get hot but you can’t get cancer or other illnesses, even with a constant, ultra-powerful blast
Sorry, English ain’t my mother tongue, I thought you meant that UV has shorter wavelength than X-ray, my bad
Xray has a higher frequency than UV so its higher
I’ve never said it does. Just pointed out general fact. X-ray is under UV. Is not safe though
Can you uninstall that app without bricking the device? So far, I think I’ve stopped it.
Not all the time though. I wouldn’t be sticking my head into a microwave that’s switched on.
Sadly we haven’t achieved absolute zero yet, but we’re getting there.
Do all phone have inferred blaster?
I doesn’t scale linearly. Once you get past visible light you get harmful ionizing radiation. Everything under UV is safe though.
Ya you’re right
Sorry you’re right. I’m a chemist, not a physicist.
Not true whatsoever. IR has longer waves than visible light. UV and X-Ray have shorter wavelength and both can be harmful. The shorter the wavelength – the more harm. The longer – the less
I second this. Firstly: IR has longer wavelength than visible light. And second, UV and X-Ray both have shorter wavelength than visible light. Both can be very harmful though. Longer wavelength is not known to cause harm though
Wavelength doesn’t mean energy. You can cook things with IR blasted at enough power.
That LED has much less power than the screen below it, though, agreed.
Ir doesn’t, that’s the proximity sensor
what youre seing there is the proximity sensor, normal ir light is used for controoling tv etc
My bet is on proximity sensor.
Probably to prevent opening the front camera when inside a pocket.
Most phoned have it as a feature, but it’s needed for devices like mi 9t
nope, on mi9t face unlock is only camera
I think it has it
That is probably a part of proximity sensing equipment.
Edit: grammar.
I second this
Mi 9t pro doesn’t have IR Blaster, does it?
IT can’t bother you though you don’t See ist wirhout the camera
Infrared is quite litterally less powerful than visible light, you have no reason to worry about it
IR has less a lower wavelength than visible light lol. You’re getting more “blasted” by the light from your phone screen.
Might be for face unlock…
Its trying to find a spy satellite because you uninstalled the MSA analytics system app.
Auto brightness and pocket mode are the reason
Thanks man, chears
Mi9t pro
What model is that? Looks good
It’s just light man, nothing to worry. Otherwise your phone will wake up when the buttons are pressed and that happens accidentally in your pocket. Also, every phone does this.
This is so the phone can detect if it’s in a pocket
I know all phones have proximity senzor but they work only when you make a call
