The Samsung Galaxy S8 comes with plethora of changes, hardware and software-wise. It has a completely different design with a bezelless and beautiful Super AMOLED display, the latest 10nm chip, one of the best smartphone cameras and much more. It is one of the best looking and fastest phones you can now buy.
But the Galaxy S8 doesn’t have hardware changes only. The software has changed quite a lot. One of those changes has to do with the Always On display feature. Announced for the first time on the Galaxy S7, Always On is a useful feature which keeps the screen on at all times displaying important updates such as time, notifications and other aspects that you choose to enable.
The Always On feature on the Galaxy S8 has gotten an upgrade compared to the last year’s flagship. You can choose to display digital or analog clock, calendar, image or an edge clock.
