I was a bit quick to judge. Now I did set both devices equally did a synchronised screen test, and I covered part of the Note to equalise surfaces.
They look equally bright only the white is notably different to me, a bit pink on the Note and a bit blue on S2. The 'blue white' looks a bit brighter on the S2.

display mode
you do know there is an option to chosse display mode in the screen settings. it allows you to choose movie, regular, or vibrant. these settings could affect the white looking pink. try different modes and see if the white is changed any.

I have no issues with my Note display colours, for me it's great. On request I compared to my S2. Display mode settings on both phones where set to standard to compare

Always on screen just for the edge of the screen?

Hey all,
Curious if there is any option to have the always on screen just show up on one of the edges, I think it did that last year on the S6 Edge +? I personally prefer that since the clock might get super bright in a dark room if there is no option to dim.
Hope somebody knows!
Thanks

Yupp there was Auto Cocktail on features, maybe someone can build it for the S7 Edge too

Yes you can do this. Settings>Display>Night Clock>then just set the time you want night clock to show up and it will show the time, Next alarm time and Bat level on the edge.

I was wondering this as well, and I know it can be used as night mode but is it possible to customize it sort of like having the Edge Panels as AOD? Like maybe I want it to stay on with my S Planner, is it possible?

How to adjust Always On Display (AOD) brightness?

I really love this new Always On Display (AOD) feature, it's really classy and elegant.
But, one thing I noticed is that the brightness level seems to be automatically adjusted, and when its bright it surely drains the battery.
Is there anyway to set this brightness manually? I tried changing the display brightness in manual mode, but it does not seem to use that settings.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I dont think there is an option, if there is i am also interested.
I personally thought the Display sometimes was too bright.
i..e In a Dark Room and the Light was more ambient than it really needed to be.
Then the misses would ask me to turn off the night light lol!

Always On
Dear All, I just bought my S7 Edge and picked it up yesterday. I'm quite impressed with this display!
I thought the same thing you guys tought... The Always On Display is very bright!
But here is some info that I searched over the internet. Don't know about it's reliability, but seems legit.
New Always On Display
An interesting function that first appeared on the Galaxy Note 4 Edge in 2014 was always keeping a portion of the OLED screen on when the phone is off (in standby), so certain content can be displayed all day and all night long, but with a very small power drain that has very little effect on the battery running time. This is possible on an OLED display with a mostly black background because every sub-pixel is independently powered, so black pixels and sub-pixels don’t use any power.
The new Always On Display mode shows various personalized clock, calendar, status messages, notifications, and images on the main screen when the phone is on standby. It measures the ambient light level and has both day and night modes, plus it’s smart enough to stay off when the phone display is face down, or it senses a dark confined space such as a pocket or handbag. The OLED display produces an illuminated main screen image 24 hours a day so you can always discreetly check it with just a glance. As a result, the OLED Always On Display will reduce the need for a smartwatch, which seems likely to become an endangered species. We’ll cover this in more detail below.
Here is where I picked it up. Cheers Guys!
(Received a message with the information that I can't post url's.. ) sorry...
Type this in google, "always on display s7 edge brightnes" then it is the 3rd link in the url contains displaymate

same, it quite bright, and with my testing if you can keep ut at its lowest brightness, it consumes 0.3%/hr. that would be absolutely great.

there is an app always on display plus which helps in that

if you mark on auto brightness , it will be done

I unmarked Auto Brightness and seems not brights

Hello guys did anyone find a solution to this?

I've noticed that it is automatically adjusting by the amount of light in the room (and it's quite sensitive, always brighter than needed). It would be great if there was an option to manually set the brightness, but only small bunch of people are actually interested in this.

This app does not changing the actual brightens, seams to be there is no solution yet.

I tried changing the screen brightness to minimum and disabling auto brightness, but the AoD brightness seems to be controlled independently.
Trying out an app called Always On AMOLED - it has a night mode. Gonna test power consumption of both

Mine used to auto adjust but not anymore. I think the last software update changed this.
GS7

I'd love to have an adjustment setting. I'm having the opposite problem as most. Mine isn't bright enough! Oh well. Hope they change that!

AOD brightness fix for Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus. May fix others
This may not help everyone as I am giving you the solution for the S9 and S9 Plus, but look in your settings to see if you have the same thing.
Under 'Lock Screen and Security' select AOD and select 'Show Always'. Once you've selected the Content to Show, disable Auto Brightness then move the slider as far right as possible and underneath that select Show Always.
Job done. Next time you see your AOD it'll be full brightness. It is still not bright enough but better than before. If you then go into 'Clock Style' and change the colour after type and choose a fairly stand out colour, this will make your clock stand out even more.
I hope I've helped at least a few people.

i feel like its to bright... i want to dim it. dont need it to be that clear.... i wil continue my search....

Threw search and having both s7 and s9+ I noticed the 9+ has the ability to adjust the brightness of the AOD very easily in settings or double tap the screen and u see the settings. Works perfect on the 9+ as for the s7 doesnt have the same settings they both say the latest version available is downloaded but it's an s7.. so I just think that setting dont exist on the s7. The brightness is controlled on it's own and u really have no control manually on the brightness.. I think it's a new thing for new galaxies but the 7 isnt gonna do it.. eh.. so I suggest a contrast color which makes it "brighter" to the eye. And basic and big.. it's for quick glances anyways... sucks tho..

Power saving: how does it work exactly?

Hi guys, when I know that I will use the phone not for so much time (for instance when I am at work) I use power saving, but I would like to know what it does exactly. I see that it low the brightness a little, that it underclock the CPU, but then? What other things does it?

Also limits app syncing and background processes

So during normal use power saving can be activated without problem.

Yes u can use power saving when your battery is 100% if u wanted lol, but let's say u listen to Spotify in the car Bluetooth, it wont stay streaming in background it'll cut off but other than that it doesn't affect me negatively

I use it indeed since it doesn't limit basic functionality. But I noticed that when the phone is paired with car's bluetooth, sometimes it get disconnect. Can be due to power saving mode? What other things does the power save mode? For instance I noticed that with the same level of brightness, when I use power save mode the screen is dimmer than normal mode. Is that normal?

I tried again and the screen brightness is definitely dimmer when the power save mode is on, even if the light slide level is always the same.

With sync on and power saving on I don't receive Gmail messages. I have to update the app manually. So I think the it depends on power saving mode that limit background data sync.

But why if the level of brightness is the same, with power mode on it is dimmer? This doesn't has any sense.

Yes it makes it dimmer than it typically would be so conserve power

It does make sense, even if it is strange that with the same level of brightness, with power saving mode the screen is dimmer anyway. But the important thing is that it's normal and it's not a problem of my phone. What about the sync? I noticed that in power saving mode it doesn't sync even if auto sync is on. I have to refresh manually the mail and other app, except for messaging apps.
