Well, except for when you pull your phone out of your pocket — the panel goes on blast and your eyes are the worse for it. Plenty of people do and one such person has gone out of their way to request always-on display palm rejection from Google — and they're going to get it.

[Update: Larger font, smaller clock] Android Q shows your currently playing song info on the Ambient Display

Rita El Khoury
