  Why? I have no reason for my phone screen to be on while it’s in my pocket

      I know, my phone has this feature and I think it’s pointless. Why do I need my screen to be on if I’m not using my phone?

        So that you have a clock on your desk

        1. it makes it easier to find the fingerprint sensor (although there’s an option to show only the sensor without all the other stuff)
        2. allows quickly checking time and battery levels by just glancing at the phone and provides a superior alternative to notification led, you actually see which apps sent you notifications specifically.

  Could get that with eInk pretty easily. Refresh times are still pretty awful though. I had a dumb phone years back that had an eInk display and it would easily last a month between charges.

    I think they’ve improved a lot on the refresh times but I doubt it’d ever be useful for videos or gaming

      They really have, yes. But, currently, I find them best for notebook/journal replacement tablets. I agree that, based upon the the mechanism used (physically moving pigment capsules in fluid), it’s very unlikely to be useful for gaming. Physical displays can only refresh so quickly.
