OnePlus teases Always on Display feature with Android 11 update

OnePlus is working on launching a highly requested feature to OxygenOS in future updates. The company CEO and founder Pete Lau just posted a teaser on his Twitter account confirming the feature. Taking a closer look at the teaser, we are certain that Lau is referring to the “Always on Display” (AoD). Lau shared an image with a clock symbol at 11 o’clock with a OnePlus symbol on the bottom left corner. In addition to the image, the teaser tweet also comes with a caption with the text: 11 “on display.” ;). We are not sure if the 11 here hints at OxygenOS 11 or Android 11. However, both of the aspects are likely co-related. Let’s check out the details around the AoD feature for OnePlus devices here. Also Read – OnePlus Nord fails bend test, cracks under pressure

However, days after the OnePlus 6 launch, the company removed the feature after a software update. The company revealed that it took the call to remove the feature due to concerns around battery savings. OnePlus introduced an “Ambient display” feature as a possible replacement for the lack of AoD. This feature showcased important information to users on tap or picking up the phone. Also Read – Vivo V19 prices now cheaper by up to Rs 4,000 after OnePlus Nord launch
