Why does the Xiaomi 15T Pro register accidental touches when placed in a pocket?

Thank you for your support of Xiaomi. The Xiaomi 15T Pro uses an under-display proximity sensor to maximize the screen-to-body ratio while maintaining accurate touch detection. Placing the device in a pocket, particularly against dark clothing such as black pants, can absorb infrared signals from the sensor.
This absorption can cause the sensor to misinterpret the distance as being far from the face or hand, resulting in accidental screen touches. The phenomenon occurs because the sensor relies on infrared reflection to detect nearby objects, and certain materials can interfere with this detection.
To ensure an optimal experience, please refer to the following information:
  1. Place the phone with the screen facing outward in your pocket to reduce accidental touches.
  2. Future system updates will further optimize the pocket scenario using gesture recognition.
