Samsung has been using AMOLED displays on its flagships since the first Galaxy S, but it took the company seven years to introduce a feature like Always On Display, which shows the time and notifications when a device is sitting idle. OLED displays are most suited to such a feature, as these displays only power up the pixels needed and turn off everything else. Since Always On Display is essentially a bit of information with the screen mostly black, it doesn’t consume much power despite keeping the screen active at all times.
Always On Display is a bit limited and can slightly increase battery drain, but it’s still a nice feature that can turn your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge into a clock and/or calendar when you’re not actively using the phone. You can also customize its look with third-party themes available from Samsung’s Theme Store. To prevent unnecessary battery usage, Always On Display even turns off when the phone is in a pocket, bag or lying face down on a surface.
Here at SamMobile, the team is divided into the “love this feature” and the “I’ll take battery life over constant on-screen information”, and we decided to put the question to our readers: Do you use Always On Display on your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge? Do you like the feature, or do you think you can do without a bit of additional information when your smartphone is lying idle?
