Always-On Display: Does It Really Drain Your Battery?

Various testing conducted by sites such as DXOMARK have revealed that the always-on display feature does consume more battery power. This is due to the illumination of the pixels on the screen required to display information.

To conserve battery life on your Android phone, you can customize the always-on display to only activate when you receive a new notification. This will help reduce battery usage while still having the feature enabled. Additionally, minimizing the number of items displayed on the screen can also help conserve resources and further reduce battery usage. If you want to completely turn off the always-on display, you can easily do so by accessing the same page in your phone's Settings app where you initially turned it on. Look for the option labeled “Always-On Display” and toggle it off to deactivate the feature on your device.
