Original Note:
Nearly all modern smartphones are outfitted with proximity sensors or use the front camera to allow the device to detect when the phone is being obstructed/being close to the face and turn off the screen to prevent accidental touch or unnecessary waste of battery life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_sensor
