For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

aid what?

Typo: aod feature. Always on display.

If the screen has 60hz or higher refresh, I’m pretty sure it will.

It's supposed to drop down to 1hz. The CPU refreshing a pixel of an OLED screen or a notification led is the same power usage. That is even if you have a notification led, the CPU could still be stuck refreshing it at 60 hz.

    AH ok that makes a lot more sense. ;) As I understand it, it's only the newest top displays that can go down to 1 Hz. Or maybe it's just when in use they can't for some reason. I find the 1Hz capability to be extremely cool, so it would be great if it's a more general feature of AOD.
