Curious bionic features

[rocketsaucev2]

Ok, so I've been curious for awhile now, but can't find much by goggling. I am wondering about all the stuff on the top of the DROID bionic.

So the thing on the left of Motorola logo is the front facing camera, but to the right there are 3 objects. The far right one is the notification light. But what are those other two camera looking things? Curiosity really has gotten the best of me

one is likely the proximity sensor...

Like for the in pocket detection?

or for when you're talking and it's up to your face

I thought there was an accelerometer to detect when it is being moved

The accelerometer is inside I believe. I think those are a proximity sensor and a light sensor for autobrightness and to know when to turn the lights on the capacitive buttons. If you put your finger over them the capacitive buttons will light up.

So no one is watching me through them...?

The one to the right of the speaker is the light sensor, for the auto brightness function.

Yep. Put your finger over it and watch the buttons on the bottom all light up.
