Das LG G5 verfügt über ein sogenanntes Always On Display (kurz: AOD), mit dem man die Uhrzeit auf einen Blick sehen kann, ohne das Handy einschalten zu müssen. Das Unternehmen stellte sein AOD zur gleichen Zeit vor, als Samsung sein eigenes AOD für das Galaxy S7 ankündigte. Der Vorteil des Always On Display auf dem LG G5 im Gegensatz zu dem des Galaxy S7 ist, dass man nicht nur die Uhrzeit, den Wochentag und das genaue Datum sehen kann, sondern auch Benachrichtigungen wie Gmail, Telegram, App-Updates, Slack, Google+, Facebook und so weiter.
So, since the LG G5 offers a slight advantage with regard to its notifications on the Always On Display, it may appeal to some to use this feature that they’d otherwise turn off to save battery. To turn on the Always On Display for the LG G5, perform the following steps:
- First, visit your phone settings, which you can find by way of the “wheel” icon at the top right of the drop-down notification window.
- While in settings, select “Display.”
- In your Basic Display settings, you’ll see a feature called “Always On Display.” Press the toggle and watch it go to the right with a “green” button on the left side. If the button is “green,” then the feature is on. If it’s gray, the feature is disabled.
You can tap on “Always On Display” and customize your AOD apart from someone else’s by choosing either a 1) Time or 2) Signature. There isn’t much customization outside of this, though, but it adds a little personal touch to your LG G5.
The LG G5 is LG’s latest take on the smartphone market and where the company intends to take its customer base and technology for yet another year, and the Always On Display is one feature we know you won’t want to disable after enabling it. At the same time, the AOD of the LG G5 is extremely dim and we hope LG will brighten it for customers in the future, though we think it’s dim to cut down on and conserve battery.
