Nokia’s always-on clock is coming for
their Lumia line, which is famous & favorite Nokia Symbian feature. Nokia glance launched with the Lumia 925(yet to get launch in India) but will be available
on the Lumia 1020(Most Awaited Device for launch) and other Lumia series devices when Nokia’s
Amber update
rolls out later in the coming months. Basically, a clock is fixed on your
otherwise-off display and while it of course uses battery.
The clock is quite ingenious too as it auto-turns off when in your
pocket and turns on when you pull it out. Likewise, you can set it to be
off, always on, peek or timed,
as that is the one that allows you to hover your hand over the phone to
turn on the clock for 60-seconds. Timed will turn off after about 15
minutes and always on or off are self-explanatory.
Likewise you have a setting for “night mode” where the display won’t be as bright and instead of a grey clock, it’s a deep red, making it less distracting and easier on the eyes (very nice for movie theaters). You can even set at which times you would like night mode to kick in and turn off, which is a nice bonus.
Other alerts that are shown on Glance include vibration and when it is charging.
And that’s it so far for Glance from Nokia. Who knows what else they
will add to it in future updates, but there is little doubt in our
minds: it’s one of the most useful and elegant looking features we’ve
seen recently on a smartphone.
