Existing Galaxy phones won't get the Galaxy S7's Always On feature

22 February, 2016
Rumors that Samsung's newest flagships - the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge - will come with the Always On feature turned out to be true when the devices were unveiled yesterday. However, if already you own a Galaxy phone and are hoping that your device will get the feature, you're sadly out of luck.

            Everyone copying Windows features now. (well, Nokia features actually)
            It's nice to see others trying to catch up. Microsoft (and the old Nokia) should feel flattered. (and file a patent infringement on this)
