• Proximity/gesture sensor—Detects when you place your Galaxy Note 5
against your head to talk, which causes it to turn off the screen so that your ear
doesn't inadvertently activate any onscreen items. This sensor also allows you
to use gestures (in conjunction with the accelerometer). Gestures are covered
later in the chapter.
• Light sensor —Adjusts the brightness of your Galaxy Note 5's screen based on
the brightness of the ambient light.
• Earpiece —The part you hold against your ear while on a call.
• Indicator light —Indicates new events (such as missed calls, new Facebook
messages, and new emails).
• Front camera—A 5-megapixel front-facing camera that you use for video chat,
taking self- portraits, and even unlocking your Galaxy Note 5 using your face.
