Elliptic Labs Launches with Vivo S18 and S18 Pro Smartphones

OSLO, Norway–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AIVirtualProximitySensor—Elliptic Labs (OSE: ELABS), a global AI software company and the world leader in AI Virtual Smart Sensors™ currently deployed in over 500 million devices, has launched its AI Virtual Proximity Sensor™ INNER BEAUTY^® on Vivo’s S18 and S18 Pro smartphones. The Vivo S18 and S18 Pro smartphones, both offered for the Chinese market, are driven by both Elliptic Labs’ partners Qualcomm and MediaTek. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 chipset runs the Vivo S18 while MediaTek’s Dimensity 9200+ drives the Vivo S18 Pro. The contract for this launch was previously announced by Elliptic Labs.

“We are proud that Vivo has chosen our AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform™ as their preferred AI solution for their smartphones,” said Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs. “This decision reaffirms our leadership in the fields of AI/ML, ultrasound, and sensor fusion technologies. Vivo’s adoption of our platform is a clear demonstration of our commitment to innovation and delivering exceptional value. This collaboration has paved the way for the launch of highly advanced yet cost-effective smartphones like the Vivo S18 and S18 Pro. Remain focused on providing solutions that promote products that are greener, smarter, and more human-friendly.”

AI Virtual Proximity Sensor INNER BEAUTY

Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual Proximity Sensor detects when a user holds their phone up to their ear during a call, allowing the smartphone to turn off its display and disable its screen’s touch functionality. This keeps the user’s ear or cheek from triggering unwanted actions during the call, such as hanging up or dialing numbers. Turning off the screen also helps conserve battery life.

Proximity detection is a core capability that is used in all smartphones, but Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual Proximity Sensor is a unique, software-only solution that 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.
