Third-party app brings Always On Display to the Samsung Z3

12 March, 2016
Always on displays are definitely not a novice concept, but rather one of those ideas that is making a comeback as the tech world is reevaluating its appeal.(Remember how elegantly old STN displays used to handle the task) This year it seems many of the new flagship offers, like the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the LG G5 are rekindling the functionality, the latter even going to great lengths to do it with an LCD screen, so, always on is back in style.

        ”Welcome to 2010 Samsung & LG” said Nokia N8.
        "Welcome to 2006 Samsung & LG" said Nokia 1110.

            MarkusLeto, 13 Mar 2016Symbian and Lumia phones had this feature a few years back.... moreAgree

              Trooper, 13 Mar 2016The Samsung Z3 runs Tizen, not Android.Was there really a need for the smart*ss comment? I obv meant always on display on S7 and G5 which are both running Marshmallow.

                Symbian and Lumia phones had this feature a few years back. Android Always On definitely adds functionality. Really convenient.

                          What if you don't have a watch, your both hands are full, your phone is lying on the table and you need the time? I know a lot of ifs but still useful.

                          But I do have a question about this, in case any one has any idea, how will this work alongside Doze? Wouldn't this just render doze useless?

It's useless bro why do you need to check the time on your phone if you have watch? why you need to reach your pocket to get your phone and check time if you can check your watch? why not pressing the lock button if you already holding your cellphone in your hands? FYI! this feature will consume battery so why you need it in the first place?
