S7 Edge - Always on - just for notifications?

[tshirttan408]

Hi Guys,

Probably a hard question to answer but is there going to be an option for the only on screen to come on when you have a notification? I like the idea of being able to see that without having to turn the screen on, but having a clock constantly on and taking 1% battery an hour seems like a bit too much for me as sometimes I have to go a long time between charges!

Cheers

Interesting question. Hopefully someone who has early access can help. Otherwise I will check when I get mine.

I believe the notifications will show up with the always on screen along with the clock. Without the clock, I'm not too sure about.

There is a setting in the always on display that says "Content To Show", so I believe you could remove the clock if you desire.

You can turn off the always on display, but notifications will only be visible when you turn on the screen. I've seen conflicting information on battery drain for this, some report 1% per hour and others just 1% without specifying over what period of time. Will likely need some real world testing to see what the actual battery hit is for this feature.

What Ive read says you can turn it off. Windows phone has had it for years...its a very nice feature.
