For the release of the Galaxy Note 7 Motorola tackle the Always On Display … – Frandroid

The former Motorola seems to have disliked the integration of Always-On Display functionality in the latest Samsung Galaxy. And informed.

Small picnic in the middle of summer, and especially on the day of the release of the Galaxy Note 7 in the US. The great Samsung smartphone, equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC 820 instead of Exynos 8890 built elsewhere, is indeed available on the US market since August 19th. Of course, the look of its competitors turn to the unit leader in the mobile market, especially as it is already announced as a success.

The occasion was perfectly chosen for Motorola, Lenovo, or rather, the owner of the former American brand, in grasp to tease his competitor.

Between the use of the word “galaxy” and the hashtag “#TheOriginalAlwaysOnDisplay” zero doubt the account Motorbike US under the banner refers to the Always-on display functionality inaugurated by Samsung on its Galaxy S7 and S7 edge in March, and scope of the new Galaxy Note 7. this displays on their AMOLED screen off, simple information (time and date, calendar, notifications) low power consumption, to avoid the user to turn it completely to see what type of elements.

Meanwhile, Motorola – Moto X since the time under the banner of Google – has a similar system, which can be found elsewhere (with Lenovo this time) on recent Moto G4 and G4 Plus, mentioned in the tweet of the brand. As point out, however some users, it must still be noted that Motorola is not the only one to have used this option, since Nokia on its Lumia first (before its acquisition by Microsoft in 2014) had implemented a similar feature on its Windows Phone devices with AMOLED screens.

Can you, as does Motorola awkwardly, talking about “theft” of a feature, as it is found that each brand has more or less borrowed from its competitors? Not so sure, especially as the patent war that have long supplied mobile manufacturers finally seems to have calmed down.
