As you already know, Xiaomi presented its new Redmi Note 13 family on September 21, a new generation made up of the Redmi Note 13 Pro+, Redmi Note 13 Pro and Redmi Note 13 5G, which offer a lot for a fairly moderate price. However, even though we are talking about one of the most successful series in the world of smartphones, it has been dragging a quite important problem over the last few years.
This has to do with the proximity sensor that Xiaomi has been introducing for quite some time in some of its equipment, and it is an element that It is giving problems to many users when they use it on a daily basis.. And if you were thinking that this generation was going to be different, everything seems to indicate that we will continue with a new chapter in this worrying story.
Elliptic Labs is still in charge of supplying the proximity sensor in the new Redmi Note 13
We saw it in the Redmi Note 11 and Redmi Note 12, and Xiaomi has confirmed that in these new Redmi Note 13 everything will remain the same. We talk about the virtual proximity sensor called AI INNER BEAUTY and supplied by the Norwegian company Elliptic Labs which, as you already know, is responsible for turning off the screen automatically when we bring the phone to our ear, although it is not as precise as we would like.
The main advantage of using this component is that it allows eliminate dedicated hardware that can be used to add other elements such as greater battery capacity. The theory sounds great, but in practice we are talking about a system that is not performing very well in daily use, and it is something that users continue to suffer from today.
Of course, we must also highlight that Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs, has assured that This tool continues to improve over time thanks to artificial intelligencewhich is capable of analyzing in a much more effective way the ultrasounds necessary for the sensor to function correctly.
However, experience tells us that it is better to be cautious and wait to see how this component works within the new Redmi Note 13, since history does not play much less in their favor. We will see what ends up happening in the end, but it is clear that Xiaomi is still determined to incorporate a tool that does not quite fit the needs of its users.
