Lightbulb [Q] What the hell is an RGB sensor?

Someone has a link or something? Does it track your eyes with the camera or is the RGB sensor somehow used? Thanks.

I think you're referring to the RGB LED on the front which is the notification light. It means the light can change to practically any color to have different colors for different notifications.

As for the software features that utilize face tracking, I'm sure it uses the front facing camera to do it.

Ah. I see it. I'm pretty certain they're referring to the notification light which is an RGB LED.

I would be surprised if it were used for something more than just setting the backlight.

At most it handles screen color temperature... I think nothing more.

The RGB sensor is the notification led, probably the word "sensor" is a translation errror. and yes R stands for red, G for green and B for blue so you can expect the led can display a rainbow of colors and using the right apps you can adjust the color for each type of notification to your liking.
