Xiaomi has proven over the past few years that its smartphones are on a par with the rest of the options we can find on the market. By constantly striving to include new features, thanks to MIUI updates, as well as incorporating technologies from mid-range/high-end phones into mid-range/low-end devices, Xiaomi has managed to carve out a small place for itself among the big brands .
The clearest example of this is the inclusion of AMOLED panels in most of the mobile devices that have been launched on the market (regardless of the price range in which they are found). Although the advantages offered by this type of screen are many, there is one that stands out above the rest: the famous Always on Display .
Generating mixed opinions, as many claim that activating this function increases energy consumption, it is a fact that the Always on Display tool offers more advantages than disadvantages . One of them is the possibility of viewing content without having to unlock the mobile.
This is how you can activate Always on Display on your Xiaomi mobile
If your Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO mobile device has an AMOLED panel, you can activate the Always on Display function in a simple, fast and free way . This setting is within the screen section, and the MIUI customization layer allows you to configure various parameters to adjust the tool according to your needs.
To activate this mode on any Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO mobile device, you will have to carry out all these steps :
- The first thing you will have to do is access the settings of your Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO mobile device.
- Once inside your terminal’s settings, you must click on the option that says Always-on display and Lock screen .
- Therefore, you will have to enter the section called Always-on display .
And finally, you’ll need to turn on the Always-on Display feature (the button on the right should be blue).
As we mentioned above in the article, and just like when activating Always on Display on Samsung phones , the feature can be customized from top to bottom . These customization settings will not affect power consumption, as no change will cause the tool to consume more battery.
Should you enable Always on Display mode on a Xiaomi phone?
The answer to this question depends on the taste of each user. The reality is that displaying important data such as time, date or notifications is without a doubt an advantage that should not be wasted under any circumstances.
On the other hand, if the mobile device has battery life problems and needs an urgent battery change , it is best not to activate this function, since Always on Display increases energy consumption by 1% or 2%.
Likewise, prolonged use of the Always on Display mode could cause burns on the mobile panel . It is true that this does not happen most of the time, but it is always good to keep it in mind to avoid “headaches” in the future.
