Answer 1

CodigosTutoriales said, "The distance between ear and phone is not detected by IR, it's detected by a proximity sensor"

In fact, IR sensors ARE commonly used in smartphones as the proximity sensor according to wirelessdesignmag and android.stackexchange (search internet for additional confirmation)

This doesn't mean other sensors are not used for that same purpose in some smartphones.
