LG teases Always On display for upcoming LG G5

LG is preparing its latest flagship, the LG G5 and one of the features it is teasing is an always on display that can show missed calls, notifications, emails and calendar events at all times. This feels like a throwback to the days when flip-phones displayed this information on a small screen when closed but should be a welcome feature for anyone who hates having to use an unlock code just to see what they've missed. Samsung, similarly, is expected to offer an always on feature on its Galaxy S7 flagship but no cohesive details are available right now.
Always On technology, while welcome on smartphones and tablets, should be a standard feature on smartwatches whose primary function it is to tell time as well as mirror notifications and alerts. Hopefully we will see this made a key feature for wearables sooner rather than later.
