Accelerometer Sensor
Accelerometer Sensor serves to identify the accuracy of the direction of a device. This sensor is required in some games such as Asphalt, Raging Thunder, etc. Thanks to this sensor we simply tilt the phone when we want to turn right or left.

Gyroscope Sensor
Serves to detect the angle of the tilt and measure the angular velocity commonly required in navigation. Gyro Sensor is somewhat similar to Accelerometer Sensor. What distinguishes the Accelerometer is affected by gravity, while the Gyro Sensor is not affected by gravity.

Ambient Light Sensor
Serves to detect the intensity of light / strong lighting around the smartphone. Play a role in Brightness changes. Thanks to this sensor if you are outdoors under the sun, then the screen will automatically increase the full brightness so the screen tetep plasticity, If you are in the house / at night or in the closet, the screen will lower the brightness to be more power efficient and not dazzle the eyes.

Orientation Sensor
This sensor serves to determine the orientation of the phone and detect the position of the smartphone whether in landscape or portrait mode. This sensor is used to rotate the screen automatically.

Proximity Sensor
Serves to detect the existence of an object without physical contact within a certain distance. This sensor acts when there is a call. Maybe you guys once when nelpon screen itself dead? Yes, that is the work of Proximity Sensor. When calling, of course our Android Smartphone will be attached to the ear and at that moment the sensor is working.

Compass Sensor
Serves to determine the direction of the wind. then you do not have to worry about getting lost in travel, forest, or other areas.

Magnetometer Sensor
Serves to detect magnetic field and measure magnetic field intensity around Smartphone. With this sensor, you can know which objects emit strong, weak, or weak magnetic fields.

Sound Sensor
Serves to measure the level of intensity / levels of sound around the smartphone. Useful when calling or receiving calls in crowded places, as these sensors will measure the level of noise or surrounding noise and adjust the volume of the speakers or mic.

Barometer Sensor
Serves to measure air pressure. This sensor is required in navigation, eg you are adventuring to a certain area, then with this sensor, you can know the air pressure in the area you visit. This sensor can also predict whether the weather is good or bad.

Temperature Sensor
As the name implies, this sensor serves to measure the temperature of the smartphone temperature. nah thanks to this sensor you know if your hp already hot and rest. Usually this heat generated by cell phone batteries due to excessive gadget activity, such as charging while playing games or surfing ria. In some specific gadgets, these sensors can also detect ambient temperature.
