They were a good indicator for notifications that are missed when you were away from phone.

    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
