Q: iPhone 7 black front. Extra sensor??

I was looking at my new iPhone 7 with the black front and noticed an extra sensor to the right of the light sensor. But I can not see it on my wife's white front iPhone 7 at all.

Does the black front have an extra proximity or light sensor?

iPhone 7, iOS 10.0.2

    The sensors are the same regardless of color.

    You might have miss understood me.  The sensor I mentioned was not even listed in that link. The light sensor is above the speakeR. On the white front it is clear present. On the black face phone it is still visible just harder to see. Now on the black faced phone just to the left of that there is a smaller circle much like the light sensor above the speaker. This is not present on the white front phone. If you do not have the iPhone 7 black front and a white front then you mught not be able to answer this question because you have not seen this yet. Thanks for the effort.
