Regarding proximity sensor

[GojoSatorou]

I own a S20 FE 5G and got to know that there is a virtual proximity sensor. Due to this the screen does not permanently remain off when on a call. Display only turns off when the front camera is completely covered. Any plans of improving the sensitivity area via a future software update?

I think it means that the sensor works better providing good range. Randomly ?? Can you show us some recording?

Not randomly, when I am on the call.

Virtual proximity sensor is 💩
Its even present on Galaxy M01 so you can take a guess its used for cost cutting

Yes virtual proximity sensor is worst move in mobile phone. The phone behaves weird in pitch dark or under direct sun light. As a consumer we have to avoid these mobiles. So that manufacturer will avoid these kind of moves
