What is Smart Stay?
Smart Stay is the feature that keeps the screen on whenever the user is looking at it. It uses the front facing camera in order to detect the face and eyes. When you are holding the phone and looking at its screen, the front facing camera will detect it, and the screen will stay turned on. However, you need to look towards the screen to keep your phone unlocked. In case you don’t look directly at the screen, the screen will go off.
One thing users need to be aware of is that Smart Stay does consume a certain amount of battery power. The reason for that is the front facing camera which needs to be turned on. This feature is disabled by default, and it can be turned on and off anytime, so it is up to you to figure out is it for you or not.
