It is said that if the device is not in use, it will automatically turn off the screen. It is unclear if this feature is exclusive to Pixel smartphones. While the details of how it works are unclear, the report claims that the adaptive timeout feature can use the front-facing camera and proximity sensor to detect whether a Pixel smartphone is being used.
