On the Aquaris E4.5 it's located in the upper left corner, about half a
centimeter on the left of the camera. You can see it if you hold the
device towards the light so that it reflects on the surface. Not exactly
sure how it works, probably either sound or light waves, something that
is reflected up to a distance of some 20 centimers. If that is covered
(for example when you hold the phone towards your ear), the display will
turn off to prevent accidental touches on the display. It is active
while a phone call is ongoing and when the display has been woken up by
a notification and hasn't been unlocked yet.
