Moving now to the Personal Electronics market. In Q3, there was a strong restart of consumer demand for smartphones, combined by steady growth in wearables, tablets, hearables and game consoles. This was driven in part by the stay-at-home effect and by consumer demand for health and fitness devices. In Personal Electronics, we have 2 strategic objectives. First, to lead in selected high-volume smartphone applications with differentiated products or custom solutions. Here, we continue to have success with multiple wins in flagship devices with time-of-flight ranging sensor, motion sensor for image stabilization, wireless charging products, touch display controllers and secure solution such as ESIB and CQ in AMS with near-field communication.
I would like to give you more detail on one win I mentioned last quarter. I can now confirm it is Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra smartphone, which use ST multi-zone direct time-of-flight sensor. Also, both the Note20 and the Note20 Ultra include our MEMS for pressure sensor, inertial measurement units and EEPROMs.
