AMOLED Display is better than the IPS LCD Display in terms of screen brightness, vibrant colour production, punchy black colour and a bit of less battery consumption. Another cool feature of the AMOLED Panel is the Always On Display feature. The Always On Display feature shows Date & Time, Notifications and more information when the phone is locked. It is a very helpful and practical feature. Almost all the smartphones with an AMOLED display have this feature. Xiaomi or Redmi has added cool new clock designs and customization options for the Ambient Display in the latest beta update.
Ambient Display
Xiaomi added Ambient Display option in MIUI 10 which lets you choose different clock style for the Always On Display. Now, the latest MIUI 10 Beta update brings new clock styles for the Always On Display of Xiaomi and Redmi Smartphones. This feature is still in beta ROM and it will be added in the future stable MIUI updates.
A senior XDA Member kacskrz shared few screenshots of the new Always-On-Display app. You can turn on/off battery status and notifications from the settings. There are many themes available to apply. This time not only Digital Clock but you can also choose Analog Clock in the Ambient Display. A short description of the particular theme is added. You can select a gradient colour for the clock and icons which looks very nice. There’s also an option to change the font size.
As we mentioned above this updated Ambient Display is only available in the MIUI Beta ROM, however, the future stable updates will bring these cool Clock Styles to all Xiaomi or Redmi smartphone which has an AMOLED Display.
