Alternatively, click "Enable Ambient Light Sensor to Optimize Battery Savings." This option will enable ALS, but it uses a unmodifiable, preset brightness range.

The Galaxy View2 also provided easy access to the light sensor. MIT researcher Liu said iOS devices and light sensor-embedded TVs from a host of manufacturers are also likely vulnerable.

The solar cell ambient light sensor is attached to a transparent cover layer, a color filter layer, or any other layer of the display.

Apple is researching an ambient light sensor that could be embedded underneath an iPhone display, a development that could aid in removing or reducing the screen notch. Current Apple smartphones ...
