Mate 10 Pro, always on display?

[dpham00]

Just saw a video review by Jared Busch on YouTube and it looks like it does have the always on display... 1m 15 seconds in

You got a link to that video?

Interesting. Did it use a lot of batteries?

I currently have a G6 , been using it as my primary phone and AOD is always on on full brightness, serves as an alarm clock, was hoping Mate 10 would have this as it may be a deal breaker I know it sounds dumb...

Sorry and it never really hampered the battery life still would get a full day of average use.

Nokia and Microsoft Lumia's had AOD/Glance screen on both AMOLED and LCD and it never affected battery life on either. I think it was much brighter on AMOLED than on LCD though.

My aod drains a lil battery over time with less than half the brightness lvl. I can't imagine what will happen if it's set on full brightness

 

[Aljean Thein]

Would aod be considered in phone idle in as battery usage ?

Glad to hear that.

That's good to hear. Manufacturer implemented aod should be fine.

I think the blacker the blacks on the amoled screen made the aod stand out more.

Probably. Another feature that Glance had was that you could set it to "peek" and it would only come on when you pull it out of a pocket or purse, or when you wave your hand over it (I guess some Moto's have a feature like this now?). Nokia was doing this even in the days of Symbian OS. I think the new Android Nokias RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THIS, TOO.

Ah I don't think I turned that feature on in my phone. I like my aod on all the time. Does that feature works every time you pull it out of your pocket ?

Plus easier to control battery consumption

Motos had that for years. Probably because they were using LCD

It should if set up that way

Features don't work everytime. Like lift to wake up phone doesn't work 100% of the time

Oh yah. That's true

Can please someone confirm that clock is not being updated on the Always On (Always Display Information) screen?
It ONLY updates time for a minute or two, then it stops. Touch proximity sensor and it will update again, but for a minute or two ONLY.
Please someone confirm this!

Of course. There are always going to be those cases
