Glance Screen actually saved me a few more seconds each time check. I now see the convenience and importance of AOD in our daily lives.

Wonder what happened to all those thousands of Nexus 6P' which were bricked by Google's Oreo Dev update huh?? Lucky the place where I bought my 6P from gave me a replacement (Mate 9)

It only consumes ... moreThe concept of AOD is to show you notification, time and battery when you phone is sitting on table while conserving battery. If you check you phone every 10 mins it will drain more battery than display being always on cause always on display doesnt exit deepsleep mode while turning on display will and brightness is lower and if you own OLED phone its even better cause your lockscreen will turn on more pixels compared to AOD because of lockscreen wallpapers icons and other stuff and it looks cool and smartwatches are pretty expensive

LG superfan, 14 Nov 2017Just download an app there are alot available on playstoreOr just don't use this always on display. It only consumes battery. If you want to check the time and notifications, take it out of your pocket and turn it on, I think it's not that difficult to do this extra step and turn it on. You can of course also buy a smartwatch so that you don't even have to take it out.
