Looking at all the features that older phones uses to have compared to newer ones, I never hear anyone talk about the removal of the notification LED. I personally really liked that feature, being able to see if I got an email, a text or missed a call without turning on my phone was awesome. My Samsung note 8 had this feature, but to my knowledge, newer phones (in the major companies anyway) have abandoned this feature. Did everyone else unanimously agree they don’t care for this feature?

    I just bought a Sony Xperia 5 IV, it was released last November, and it has one. So they’re not completely gone yet. I really appreciate it. Always on displays seem like overkill for that purpose.

      Headphone jack, 2 SD card slots, physical shutter button, front-facing speakers

      Sony is really behind the competition when it comes to making worse products.

        Front facing speakers, SD card for Spotify downloads, shutter button is nice and basically stock android is great. The 21:9 ratio is something I don’t think I could live without now. It’s amazing.

      That’s awesome that Sony is keeping the feature alive. I never liked the AOD concept, it just uses more battery than benefit it provides.

      I was going to say that my Xperia Z5S had one, but thought they may have phased them out by now. Good to see they still include this!
