LG teases "Always On" display on G5 flagship smartphone

PanARMENIAN.Net - While the G5 teaser GIF LG's mobile division posted on Twitter doesn't say much, it has enough info to inform that the device will have an "Always On" display, Engadget reports.

According to Android Authority's sources, the flagship phone will have a screen that is literally always on. Other phones with ambient screens like the Moto X and the Nexus 6P only show pertinent info on screen when you perform specific gestures.

The publication says the G5 won't have an AMOLED display and will instead have a full screen version of the LG V10's second, smaller screen. The V10 has a small strip of display on top with app shortcuts. It's unclear what elements the Always On screen will have, but it does have the time, date and can show if you have calls, emails or texts.

Another interesting thing is the device's battery life, since the screen would obviously consume energy all the time. More information will emerge when it launches on February 21.
