Always On Display to support wallpapers in Android 9.0 Pie

09 August 2018
A source code reveals that one of the future updates will bring the new feature.

Symbian did that on 2011 / 2012 … My N8 and after that my 808 had a feature that acted like that.

It's a phone

                      OLED consumes 0.30 watts on black and 0.70 watts on white.

                      dont be a hater of tech if you dont know anything.

                        Really, Google? Why not rather give us the option of customising which notification icons are available, like on Windows Phone 8?

                          bring up some better features instead of setting pixelated black & white wallpaper on always on display. doesn't even look good on my nokia 925, or is it any different on android?

                            That's what happens if you do not research your own phone!!!

The other day there was this Sony guy who didn't know what night light is and was going on that if you need night light you should turn on the screen of your phone while it's charging at night. I literally rolled on the floor laughing haha go check out Jeepers Creepers post on gsmarenas topic called "ANATEL certification suggests that the Sony Xperia XZ3 will come with smaller battery" what a newb.

                                I loved the always on display of my old Nokia N8. You could change the images and it would break down any image for the low power display automatically. I had a gif of Mecha Sonic from Sonic 3 & Knuckles charging on the Master Emerald when I had my phone charging.

                                  Great for Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus and all phones with OLED screen
                                  Bad for all Xperia smartphones lol
                                  Incoming all LCD boys with weird justifications on how bad and useless this feature is and how it drains their puny 3060mah batteries :D

                                    Pointless and useless for LCD screen smartphones.
                                    Goooooogle....

                                      That's just pointless when it'll just drain your battery even more
