Samsung has carried part of the Galaxy Note7 to its two remaining flagships. The Galaxy S7 and S7 edge both get the always-on display feature of the Note. It was done perhaps to make the experience a bit more comfortable for the former Note7 owners. It also helps keep the legacy of the Note device, which might not be a brand Samsung would (or should) retain. Users will be able to customize what’s being displayed on the screen—whether it be a photo, a digital or analogue clock, or notifications. Of course, you can’t expect the S Pen-reliant features to show up. Some users have reported, though, that notifications from Samsung’s email app aren’t showing up.
