All Android phones, with the exception of the first Android phones, are equipped with proximity sensors to turn off the screen when you are in communication or to leave the device in your pocket. Despite all the high-end features of the new Samsung Galaxy S10 family, they do not seem to use the proximity sensor properly. Internet owners complain of accidental contact while the phone is in a pocket, which should not happen with a budget phone, not to mention a phone that costs $ 1,000.

On most phones, the proximity sensor knows when something is pressing on the phone, whether it's your ear during a call or the fabric in your pocket. The GS10 seems to use the proximity sensor only when you are in communication. Thus, it is easy for your leg to trigger the faucet so that it wakes through the fabric of your pocket. Users report that their phone's battery is depleted and that they activate the lock screen buttons when they are in their pocket.

Using the lower sensitivity mode of the screen does not seem to have any effect, the phone always wakes up. The only way to avoid this is to turn off the tap to activate the alarm clock and ambient display, which makes the phone harder to wake up with the power button located at the very top. Hope that it 's a software bug or an oversight that Samsung will fix in the near future.
