OnePlus 6 removed the Always On Display feature just before launch

28 May 2018
It used up too much battery for OnePlus' liking. The feature was present in pre-launch software but was promptly removed.

        I bet if they do not include the notch, smaller display panel.. they will save enuff power for that always on feature.

            Hahaha, even Samsung offers this feature and it drains battery just like it would on a OnePlus, but unlike them they warn you about this and give you the choice

              Good.

                Here's a revolutionary idea for a change: make a bigger battery!

                      I can almost guarantee it was more due to burn in concerns than battery. The phones software must constantly communicate with the display and move pixels around in a way that is invisible to the naked eye to prevent burn in on OLED panels. I'm sure it looks better as a company to cute battery concerns until a more reasonable fix is developed in a future update.

Even on IPS display. That because they had a display memory. But Nokia Lumia 930 didnt have it even tho it featured OLED.

                            That's nonsense. On an S7, on the very first version of AOD, the AOD uses about 1% of the battery in an hour. AOD was ported on many devices like Moto Z phones and Pixels and all... So no, they just don't know how to code it.

                              Too much battery drain is a poor excuse for taking away an option. More likely that they couldn't figure out an efficient way of programming it, so didn't want to send out half-baked sh*t. If it were merely battery concern, simply living it off by default and warning users when they're turning it on solves that.

                                So anyone still thinking AMOLED/OLED is more efficient than regular IPS-LCD at displaying colour ???
                                In reality, it's the contrary.

                                  They already settle since one plus one..

                                    Too much battery drain... Nothing special with this feature.

Notification light can tell you about time, type of notifications, let you change songs without turning on the display, and did I forget to tell you that it can show exact time. Amazing!
