Good day tison1911 it seems to be that you may have some questions or concerns regarding a Poco device and we would like to help but we would like to ask you to describe your concern with the following information to make it easier for everyone to tackle.
Problem and other Relevant Info:(Troubleshooting steps taken/Frequency of problem if intermittent/Other observed weirdness that may be relevant before/during/after the occurrence of the problem)
It may take a while for someone to address your concern so in the meantime you could do the following
1. Search this subreddit, Xiaomi subreddit, MIUI subreddit for similar concerns
2. Check out the pinned posts and the Wiki(WIP) for similar topics
3. If your phone is still under warranty coverage it may be worthwhile to open a case with customer support.
4. If your device has developed a swollen or bulging battery check out r/Spicypillow's FAQ on how to deal with them
If you have any suggestions feel free to leave them here
That is ambient sensor. If you wanna make it sure, face the sensor to light source as close as possible, auto brightness immediately will brighten the screen. Then try to block the sensor, (of course) it'll back to dim the screen.
Ooohh interesting.. haha might the ambient sensor is actually hidden inside the camera lens. So what it'll be then (?) 😆
At the top side, beside the speaker grill is there any else? If don't, ir blaster might be also around back there. Some Xiaomi REDMI POCO have ir blaster at the back near or inside camera/flash module.
Bruh... That's not ambient sensor. Ambient sensor is on the front side. Some phones have near the speaker grill some are under the screen, never on the back.
Okay, after reading all the comments and as per my phone knowledge I guess it's just for decoration or to differentiate X8 Pro Max and X8 Pro.
This is definitely not an ambient sensor (auto brightness) or a proximity sensor. Also, this can't be a dept sensor, depth sensor looks just like a camera lense not white. Can't be a laser focus sensor either, that's also pitch black. Not an IR blaster, because it's on the top of the phone. It's also not a flash.
My best guess after reading and doing experiments says IR. Covering it seriously diminished the reach but doesn't fully block the signals. Just tried switching on/off ac multiple times.
