What is always displayed?
Weak, fast-discharging batteries are the main problem of modern smartphones. The solution to this problem was the Always On Display function. This is a function that constantly displays the most important information on the locked display. This can be a list of missed calls and unread SMS, date and time, and others, depending on the preferences of the user. The function works only on smartphones with OLED and AMOLED displays. This is because they have disabled the black parts of the screen. Therefore, power consumption on a black screen with Always On Display is very low.
Which phones does Always On Display work on?
Samsung Galaxy S7 pioneered the use of Always On Display. Later, Xiaomi and Redmi also implemented this idea in their phones. Now it can be found in models of slightly more expensive brands: LG, Sony, Motorola, Huawei, Nokia, OnePlus, Oppo and Vivo. To use this feature, the smartphone must have an OLED screen and Android 9 Pie or later, as well as an MIUI version 11 overlay. Download the MIUI Themes program from the APKMirror store.
