      I don’t understand why that one has gone away. Like, the 3mm audio jack made waterproofing difficult and was big. But that doesn’t apply to the notification LED, does it?

      I really miss that feature because now I have no indicator of a notification, short of the major battery drain of setting the screen to always be on. I remember even customizing the colour so that I could tell when I had important notifications. Now I often have to double tap my phone just to check if I have any notifications. So dumb.

        I haven’t had a phone with one since the Galaxy S7, but always on displays have replaced them for notifications at a glance.

          huh, you are right! I really thought that my phone had it, but after checking it has no notification dot.

          Damn, that was useful AF, with personalized notification colors for specific contacts. I guess that now smartbands kinda replaced the dot, which is why I didn’t realize after 1 year of using it lmao.
