News & Reviews:   Always-On-display

The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are the first smartphones in Apple’s lineup to feature Always-On Display - a feature that has been on Android devices for years now. However, like other ‘common’ features adopted by Apple, the Always-On Display on the iPhone 14 Pro lineup has some notable refinements, including how it can automatically turn off if the user is no longer within the device’s vicinity.

The upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max may feature LTPO panels capable of dropping to as low as 1Hz, hence paving the way for always-on display elements. This is according to tech insider and display analyst Ross Young who is ‘expecting’ for Apple to make such a move with the upcoming iPhone Pro lineup.

Other than the foldable display, the secondary display is also one of the innovative designs that smartphone manufacturers can explore further. Earlier, we have seen smartphones like the Meizu Pro 7, Yotaphone and Nubia X being launched with the feature. Now, it looks like Huawei might have a new smartphone with a secondary display as well after a patent filed by the company is spotted.
