When we buy a high-end device is usually equipped with AMOLED screen, so it is a pity that we do not get all the performance. This has motivated us to write this tutorial where we show you how to have the Ambient Display with AMOLED screens .

The "Ambient Display" is a technology that shows us on the screen notifications, time, date when we take our mobile phone out of pocket or when we lift it . We must differentiate very well the "Ambient Display" technologies of the new technology "Always On" . In the case of "Ambient Display" the screen turns on when we lift the phone , while with the "Always On" , the screen always stays on .

How to have the Ambient Display with AMOLED screens.

The main advantage of AMOLED screens is that they can keep a number of pixels illuminated while the rest are off, this allows you to consume less energy and thus use technologies such as "Ambient Display".

To enjoy all the benefits of this technology we are going to use an application that does not require root permission , it is Ambi-Tuner . For this application to work properly we must meet two requirements:

  • Have notifications activated on the lock screen.
  • The device must have compatibility with the native Android Ambient Display technology.

If we fulfill both requirements, with Ambi-Tuner we have an application that allows us to configure all aspects of how we want the screen to be activated and what information we want to be displayed . The application is free , but with very trimmed functionality, if you really want to get the most out of all your options, we will have to make a purchase of the Pro version for € 1.09.

This application also allows us to improve the poor implementation of "Ambient Display" in Google Pixel and Nexus devices, which by default, does not even go far in the amount of options and customization offered by Ambi-Tuner.
