Have any other questions about the Always-On Display feature of the EMUI 10? The following contents may help you.

Does the Always-On Display on EMUI 10 drain battery?

For AMOLED screen, the Always On Display only consumes a small percentage of battery life, especially when it only displays time and weather, so you don’t need to worry much about the fast power consumption.

However, compared to normal mode, the AOD mode consumes more power.

Does the Always On Display on EMUI 10 increase the risk of screen burn-in?

The disadvantage of the OLED screen is that if a pixel shows the same color for a long time (except black), it will cause the area to age (there are shadows that affect the display effect), that is also called screen burn-in.

In order to better extend the service life of the OLED screen, Huawei specially moves and changes the location of the display content in time to prevent the screen burn-in under AOD mode.

Why does the Always on display clock moves around in standby mode?

After you enable the Always-On display feature on your Huawei phone, the clock position will move around irregularly. This will not only enhance the dynamic effect, but will avoid the screen burn-in.
