Oslo, Norway -- Elliptic Labs (EuroNext Growth: ELABS.OL), a global AI software
company and the world leader in Virtual Smart SensorsTM, has announced that
Xiaomi (HKSE: 1810.HK) has chosen Elliptic Labs' INNER BEAUTY® AI Virtual
Proximity Sensor as its proximity solution for the upcoming global launch of its
Redmi Note series. Xiaomi continues to expand with Elliptic Labs and includes
the AI Virtual Proximity Sensor into four smartphone models: Redmi Note 11, Note
11S, Note 11 Pro, and Note 11 Pro 5G. Elliptic Labs has collaborated with
Xiaomi, the third largest smartphone maker in the world, and Elliptic Labs'
partners Qualcomm and MediaTek again to bring the most successful Redmi brand to
market. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 680 chipset will power the Note 11 while
MediaTek's Helio G96 chipset will run the Note 11S. The Note 11 Pro will be
driven by MediaTek's Helio G96 chipset and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 695 5G chipset
manages the  Note 11 Pro 5G. These design-win launches fall under the Enterprise
License Agreement announced September, 2021, by Elliptic Labs.
 
"Xiaomi has deployed and trusted Elliptic Labs' solid technology since 2016,"
says Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs. "We are excited that Xiaomi kicks
off this year by adopting our AI Virtual Proximity Sensor into four smartphone
models.  Replacing hardware sensors with Elliptic Labs software-only AI Virtual
Smart Sensor Platform delivers cost-optimized innovation and human and
eco-friendly solutions, while eliminating continued supply chain risk. This
makes Elliptic Labs the ideal partner for global smartphone manufacturers like
Xiaomi."
 
Elliptic Labs' AI Virtual Proximity Sensor turns off the smartphone's display
and disables the screen's touch functionality when users hold the device up to
their ear during a phone call. Without that capability to detect proximity, a
user's ear or cheek could accidentally trigger unwanted actions during a call,
such as hanging up or dialing numbers while the call is ongoing. Turning off the
screen automatically also helps conserve battery life. Proximity detection is a
core capability that is used in all smartphones across today's market. Elliptic
Labs' AI Virtual Proximity Sensor delivers robust proximity detection without
the need for a dedicated hardware sensor. By replacing hardware sensors with
software sensors, the AI Virtual Proximity Sensor reduces device cost and
eliminates sourcing risk.
