LG G5 teased with an always on display

If you don’t wear a watch, it is likely you rely on your smartphone to tell the time. Now LG has teased a new feature that will help make time telling easier than ever. The new LG G5 flagship will be having an always-on display that will show the clock plus your notifications even when the phone is asleep.

From the official teaser, the always-on display is shown as a tiny square box, which is similar to what you see on a typical MiFi display. Instead of a dedicated secondary ticker display like the LG V10, LG will be showing everything on a single screen.

Having an always-on display isn’t entirely new as Nokia have done with its with AMOLED equipped Lumia smartphones using Glance. What’s fascinating is if LG can pull it off on a standard IPS display. Using an AMOLED would make more sense as each individual pixels can be turned off completely to save on power. On the other end, Samsung is said to be introducing a similar feature of their own with the Galaxy S7.

The LG G5 and Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 edge will be announced on 21st February, a day before MWC 2016 officially opens. Which flagship smartphone are you more excited about? Let us know in the comments below.
