Elliptic Labs Signs Contract Expansion with Current Top-5 Global Smartphone Manufacturer

Elliptic Labs Signs Contract Expansion with Current Top-5 Global Smartphone Manufacturer

Oslo, Norway --- Elliptic Labs (OSE: ELABS) today announced it has signed a

new license agreement with an existing Top-5 global smartphone manufacturer,

covering an expected 20 smartphone models or more scheduled to be launched

over 2026 and into 2027.

The agreement broadens the manufacturer's use of Elliptic Labs' AI Virtual

Proximity SensorTM INNER BEAUTY® --- a software-only sensor that replaces

legacy proximity sensing hardware components. The solution delivers reliable

proximity detection while enabling simpler device design, fewer physical

components, and more flexibility in how phones are designed.

AI is rapidly reshaping smartphones --- not only through user-facing features,

but also through how devices are engineered. AI Virtual Smart Sensors are a

practical example: efficient AI-based embedded software from a global

world-leader in smart sensors that outperform legacy hardware, reducing

complexity and helping OEMs build more streamlined products at scale.

"This agreement reflects long-term confidence in our technology and our

ability to deliver consistently in high-volume smartphone programs," said Ola

Sandstad, CEO of Elliptic Labs. "The shift toward AI in devices is real, but

it needs to be dependable. Our embedded software-defined sensors are mature,

they work in all user environments, and they help customers improve their

phone design --- model after model."

The agreement includes a guaranteed minimum license fee per model.

AI Virtual Proximity Sensor INNER BEAUTY

Elliptic Labs' AI Virtual Proximity Sensor detects when a user holds their

phone up to their ear during a call, allowing the smartphone to turn off its

display and disable its screen's touch functionality. This keeps the user's

ear or cheek from triggering unwanted actions during the call, such as hanging

up or dialing numbers. Turning off the screen also helps conserve battery

life.

Proximity detection is a core capability that is used in all smartphones, but

Elliptic Labs' AI Virtual Proximity Sensor is a unique, software-only solution

that delivers robust proximity detection without the need for a dedicated

hardware sensor. By replacing hardware sensors with software sensors, the AI

Virtual Proximity Sensor reduces device cost and eliminates sourcing risk.
