I was learning about sensors. I was confused about the Hall Sensors and Magnetoresistive Sensors. They both seem to be same.

Magnetoresistive effect:
As the name 'magnetoresistive' says, the resistance of a special material is changed by a magnetic field.
Hall-effect:
In Hall-effect, however, a voltage is generated perpendictular to the direction of current flow and direction of magnetic field. No change of resistance happens here.
