Glance screen

Why the Nokia Lumia 730 doesn't have glance screen?

 

[P1ng0fDeath]

Apparently its screen doesn't have the tech needed for glance (display memory). Probably left out to keep price low

 

[noersetiawan]

even the mighty and expensive 930 doesn't have it.

 

[PratikMade]

I thought its just software related and would be added in future because of its type of screen.

Yes its software and hardware related, Microsoft bringing it later is a possibility but the way glance is implemented now they have to change it

 

[PratikMade]

If not glance screen at least implement notification led light/breathing light.

I hope they add it through a future update. Glance is the only thing missing to make this an awesome phone

Actually the glance can only be implemented on an IPS-LCD screen. Both lumia 730 and lumia 930 have OLED(IPS-LCD plus AMOLED tech thingy). So they dont have that feature. And Glance is very much difficult to be emulated thru software. But, lets just hope we would get it on L730.

Not entirely true, because the L925 has an AMOLED screen and has in fact the glance feature. But what the difference is, is that the newer phones with OLED screens have another type of display which (according to Windows Central) lacks "screen memory" which makes glance impossible. I guess that memory works the way that screen with memory can hold a single screen capture, and can display that image without the need of rendering the image from the processor, while screens without the memory would have to get the image from the processor 60 times a second, like it would if the phone (and screen) is turned on. That would takes too much power to be a functional feature. But that's just my guess. Would've thought they'd solve this problem in newer handsets after the complaining which the 930 and Icon received after it was known those devices didn't support glance...

Not entirely true ?. Both 820 and 925 have Amoled and both have Glance screen.

Can 730 support glance with a firmware update? Honestly, I higly doubt since even 930 doesn't have it

 

[Ed Boland]

The 1020 also has Glance.. So yeah, LCD and OLED screens are both capable of supporting Glance...

 

[cchen028]

Glance screen should already been implemented. Not sure what they are waiting for

As already mentioned, the display needs screen memory and the 730/735 doesn't have that, so it will not get glance..
