The APDS-9960 sensor was used in Samsung Galaxy phones to provide a number of functions. Primary use is for gesture recognition of swiping UP, DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT. It can also provide proximity sensing which was used to detect when the phone was placed near the ear. It also has ambient light and RGB color detection. These last two were used to adjust the brightness and color balance of the backlight depending on lighting conditions.
Though these are fairly complicated little devices, excellent library support makes them easy to use.
