For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Doesn't the Always-On Display do the same thing as the LED though?
It's harder to see from a distance if there's something new and if it's charging
The battery is always on the bottom while the notifications are in the middle or the top. It's charged if the bottom portion (or the portion closest to the USB cable) has a green icon on it.
That can vary between devices and mine never shows color in that mode
Yeah, it's the newer models with LTPO that have color AODs.
For way more power since it has to power the entire display, which drains the battery faster. I'd rather have the LED.
It's OLED, so it's only the dots that display the icons that are active, while the whole black area is literally off.
Not all phones have OLED displays. Like mine.
Yeah, they suck. #OLEDMasterrace
Personally I would rather have the screen off a lot of times for various reasons. Why should i have to have the entire display on instead of having tge ability to just have a little notification light?
