On Samsung phones your whole screen flashes in a custom color and and animation, and after that you have your always on display. So they are no longer needed with OLED screens that can display it themselves

That seems to me a waaay too inefficient indicator of "you have unread notifications"
Idk why? I like it to see the clock on the always on display, but you can also change it so you just have a small red pixels lit up, to mirror the "notification led style". You can style the aod like you want on Android
Just bought Galaxy XCover 6pro. Lost many features I had in my previous phone. Kept removable battery and headphone jack. Gained notification led.
Can't say I really missed it tho. I'd trade it for an optical image stabilizer.
The nothing phone has led glyph indicators on the back.
Why did LED notification lights silently got removed from phone?
What's the normal sound of removing feature from the phone?
On more serious note, this is why I have smart watch.

My phone still has the LED but I turned off the feature long ago including the battery low and charge indicators. More annoying than useful.
I hate the LED and I'm so glad my current phone doesn't have it. It's especially the charging indicator that bothers me because it's so bright at night
i am still mad they got rid of it on xiaomi note 10 pro.... i mean yhea you can activate a thing for show notification on the screen but slurp slurp the batery. (and future burn in)
