Easily notification light. People always say "oh, it's totally obsolete with always on displays". But with a notification light I could focus on other stuff and the blinking light got my attention better. With the AOD, I always catch myself glancing at my phone. Also, the light's color clearly indicated which app caused the notification. I had White for calls, Green for Whatsapp, Yellow for the ebay app, Red for GMail and so on. "You can do all that with an OLED screen! It only lights up the pixels that-" Can you, though? All apps that I tried were utter garbage. Buggy performance, very battery hungry and very cumbersome to configure. I don't know if custom firmwares actually have that feature in a usable state nowadays, as I cannot root my phone anymore without losing core functionalities like online banking.
Yeah, everything tends to go to shit with time. I miss my Galaxy S2.
Can't believe I forgot all about this. It was the one thing I was sad to lose when I upgraded from my Nexus 5 to the Google Pixel. So simple but so useful.
You can. The technology is good but like many things the implementations are often kinda shyte
even going from my xperia 1 iv to xperia 1 v, i'm so sad I don't have a notification LED anymore, when it's plugged in to charge I have no idea if it's charging, fully charged, or what.. without enabling my AOD which I don't want to do, i have no way of knowing if there are any notifications without turning on my display
