Some people claim that they would do anything to stop their handset from dimming and it isn’t at all a difficult procedure.

The OnePlus 3 screen dims after not being used for some time and eventually turns off to save battery life.

The way that Smart Stay works is the eye tracking is based on the front sensors of the OnePlus camera which can easily recognize when the user looks away and dim or turn off the display, then turn back on once you glance at the screen.
