Elliptic Labs Shipping with Xiaomi Across Redmi Turbo 5 Series and Redmi Note 15 Series Smartphones

Oslo, Norway – February 27, 2026 – Elliptic Labs' AI Virtual Proximity Sensor INNER BEAUTY® is shipping on multiple Xiaomi smartphone models, including the Redmi Turbo 5, Redmi Turbo 5 Max, Redmi Note 15, and Redmi Note 15 Pro — bringing reliable AI-powered proximity performance while enabling cleaner front-facing designs and reduced hardware complexity.

The Redmi Turbo 5 is shipping in both China and global markets, while the Redmi Turbo 5 Max is initially targeted for the Chinese market. The Redmi Note 15 and Redmi Note 15 Pro are available globally.

To deliver this experience, Xiaomi is running Elliptic Labs’ AI software on its partner MediaTek’s chipsets. The Redmi Turbo 5 is powered by the Dimensity 8500 Ultra chipset, while the Redmi Turbo 5 Max is powered by the Dimensity 9500s chipset. The Redmi Note 15 and Redmi Note 15 Pro are powered by MediaTek’s Helio G99 chipset.

By replacing traditional hardware sensors with a software-only approach, Xiaomi gains greater flexibility in industrial design and the ability to streamline internal components — while maintaining robust proximity performance for calls and everyday use.

Elliptic Labs announced the contract for these deployments in April 2025, and shipments are now underway.

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.
