What is Galaxy S8 always-on display (AOD)?

In most Android phones, when screen times out, the display will be turned off to save battery.

But sometimes, you may want to see a screen with a clock or other info when the phone is seat on your desk next to you.

Galaxy S8 always-on display (AOD) can serve you on this.

Actually, Samsung first introduced always-on display (AOD) in Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge.

Galaxy S8 always-on display (AOD) is a special lock screen that can be turned on all the time or turned on based on your schedule.

With always-on display in Galaxy S8 and S8+, you can show some relevant info in the screen without waking up the phone.

You may wonder whether using AOD drains Galaxy S8 battery significantly.

The answer is Galaxy S8 always-on display (AOD) does drain battery, but not significantly due to the Super AMOLED display used in Galaxy S8 and S8+.  Super AMOLED is very power efficient especially when displaying black colors.

The additional battery drain of Galaxy S8 always-on display should be less than 0.5% per hour.

For example, if you leave always-on display on overnight, it may drain additional about 4-5% battery.

Without AOD, Galaxy S8 0r S8+ normally drains about 2%-5% battery in one night depending on mobile signal quality and background  sync processes.

So, battery drain of Galaxy S8 always-on display (AOD) is only noticeable, not significant.

How to use Galaxy S8 always-on display (AOD) in Galaxy S8 and S8+?

You will only get Galaxy S8 always-on display after screen times out.

So, always-on display is different from normal lock screen in Galaxy S8 or S8+.

As shown in the screenshot below, Galaxy S8 and S8+ actually try to show you how to use Galaxy S8 always-on display (AOD) in Galaxy S8 and S8+ when you access the AOD screen first time.

By default, a clock (you can change it, read on) is shown in the center of the screen. As shown below, you can double tap the clock to see FaceWidgets.

Once you see any of the FaceWidgets, you can swipe left or write to access other FaceWidgets.  The FaceWidget will show only about 5 seconds, then switch back to  the default clock or photo.

You can also tap the FaceWidget to show more info of the widget.

Please note, FaceWidgets are shared among Galaxy S8 lock screen, always-on display, and Galaxy S8 clear view cover. You can setup FaceWidgets through any of them.

Also shown in the screenshot, there are some notification icons in always-on display screen in Galaxy S8 and S8+.  You can double tap (not single tap)  to icon to view the notification if lock screen security is none or swipe. Otherwise, you need to unlock the screen.

      If you turn on the option for the clear cover option, it should show the default clock are screen times out if the cover is closed.

      If you turn off this option, it should show nothing after screen times out if the cover is closed.

    Can we change the format of the digital clock? Can i customise it to the usual horizontal way, instead of the vertical type. It’s kinda hideous~

      You can only choose from the predefined clock face. But some AOD themes may have additional options.

    When i try to use the image AOD, the photo selection page only shows “display folders” but my gallery doesn’t show up.
    i.e. no photos to choose from.

      You may share more detail. When you tap the +, what did you get exactly? By default, it should open Gallery app. However, if you change the default app, it may open other apps.

      If you open Gallery app separately, can you see any pictures?
