Always on display was introduced by Samsung on their latest flagship, and LG introduced this feature on their LG G5. Always-on displays eliminate the need for a smartwatch or just a regular watch, which you always have with you to keep a check on the time. It is a convenient feature. You don’t have to continuously press the button to wake the phone up from sleep to check the time. Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5 display time on the lock screen forever, so you don’t have to press the button or unlock the screen to check the time.
