  1. Proximity/Ambient light sensor Senses proximity toward other objects (such as your head) so that tap commands are not accidentally activated during a call or when carried inside a pocket. It also employs an ambient sensor which measures the surrounding light and adjusts the LCD brightness to provide a vivid screen.

NOTE

Don't block the sensor or near the sensor to avoid problems with the touch screen.

  1. Front camera Use to take pictures and record videos of yourself. You can also use this for video chatting. Keep it clean for optimal performance.
  2. Back button Returns to the previous screen. Also closes pop-up items, such as menus, dialog boxes and the on-screen keyboard.
  3. Earpiece Lets you hear callers and automated prompts.
  4. Recent apps button Displays recently used applications and your open website tabs. If you touch and hold this button while viewing an app, it activates the Multi-Window feature.

NOTE

The Multi-Window feature cannot be activated from the Home screen, the Recent apps screen, or the Camera app.
