Come modificare Always on Display Samsung S25 Ultra?
In 2025, the Always On Display (AOD) feature on Android devices—especially on both Pixel phones and Samsung devices—offers expanded customization, improved looks, and additional information overlays compared to previous years.
Recent changes tied to Android 16 have introduced a new AOD design for Pixel phones that closely mirrors the full lock screen, including the user’s wallpaper in a dimmed fashion and placing elements like the clock, notifications, weather, and even live-content notifications at the same on-screen positions as the lock screen [2] [3]. This creates a smoother visual transition when waking the phone, and allows users to see more information at a glance, not just the basics like time and battery [2] [3]. Google demonstrated this design as part of its new “Material 3 Expressive Design” for Android 16, but as of mid-2025, has not fully confirmed its global rollout [3].
For Samsung devices like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the AOD continues to allow users to display information such as time, battery, widgets (weather, calendar, health), and notifications with rich customization. Users can select what to show, change clock styles, add widgets, and alter backgrounds and content emphasis—such as highlighting main subjects in photos as the AOD background [1] [4] [7]. You can activate or adjust these features through the device settings under "Lock screen and AOD" or a similar menu [1] [7].
There are also third-party apps like AOA: Always on Display and Always On AMOLED, which bring extensive personalization and interactive abilities (such as instant message replies or music control) to almost any Android device [5] [6].
Recent user feedback notes that on some Samsung phones with the Android 15/One UI 7 update, certain AOD customizations—especially with user wallpapers—have been restricted or altered, causing some dissatisfaction [9].
In summary:
- Android 16 is upgrading AOD on Pixel phones with full-background, configurable notifications, and a more seamless transition from the lock screen [2] [3].
- Samsung phones retain robust AOD features with custom backgrounds, widgets, and improved integration [1] [4] [7].
- Third-party apps allow similar capabilities on other Android devices [5] [6].
- Some recent firmware updates may limit or change AOD customization on select models [9].
