Always-On Display (AOD) is one feature I initially dismissed as a battery-draining gimmick. Now, I genuinely can’t imagine using a smartphone without it. Being able to glance at the time, notifications, battery level, or music controls without waking the phone feels incredibly efficient. It reduces unnecessary screen interactions and subtly improves daily productivity. Once you get used to that constant, low-power stream of information, phones without AOD feel less smart and oddly incomplete.
