Placing a heavy object on the phone or sitting on it can damage the LCD and touchscreen functions.
Front Camera Lens Use to take pictures and record videos of yourself. You can also use this for video chatting. Keep it clean for optimal performance.
Proximity Sensor Senses proximity toward other objects. When making and receiving calls, it automatically turns the backlight off and locks the touchscreen by sensing when the phone is near your ear. This extends battery life and prevents you from unintentionally activating the touchscreen during calls.
Do not block the sensor or near the sensor to avoid problems with the touchscreen.
