I miss the notification lights. One of my first true smart phones was the original oneplus. It was fun setting up custom colors for different types of notifications and came in handy every now and then
If you have an OLED phone, this is still a thing you can do.
God yes. I had a phone with a bright LED right next to the front camera and it was so convenient to know exactly what app was notifying me at any time
We got my legally-blind grandma a flip-phone with a notification LED on the outside. That little light has been a huge pain, because anytime she misses a call from a telemarketer/scammer or gets a marketing text, it turns on and she just. canβt. ignore. it. If that light is on, Iβve gotta drive all the way over there and clear the notifications.
I would like to ask about if you can not teach the poor old people some button combos to "mark as seen" but i imagine some old people want to know everything on their phone even if those texts and calls are scams and even they knew they are scams. Nevermind.
Galaxy XCover 6Pro still has one. Also headphone jack, SD slot and user removable battery
