My wants:

Seems I can get two of three, but not all three with the latest phones.

EDIT: I currently rock a Oneplus 7 Pro running crDroid 9 (Android 13).

Remember the days when we had the notification led? :(

I cheaped out and got the smaller version of my phone with no led.

Regretted it ever since. Been 5 years and vowed to never do that again. :(

I really want a notification led

You still have ways to emulate it with software… Especially apps or Android 14 that make your flashlight act as one.

I loved the notification LED on my Xperia XZ1, Nexus 5X, and basically all older Android phones.

Ideally I’d like to see an LED along a corner so that regardless of placing the phone face up or down, you can still see the LED.
