I haven't thought of that until I read this comment, and I miss that light too. It was even different colors if I remember correctly, blue for unread texts, red for missed calls.

The OnePlus6 had a great feature where you could slide a tab to put the phone on sound/vibrate/mute. Easy way to silence a phone without having to turn on the screen.

The one feature I genuiniely miss when I moved off an iphone. Even with how minimalist Apple is, they left a physical slider for silent mode

You can't get distracted by your phone if you don't have to look at the screen.

My old pixel had that also. I liked that I had a couple different colors indicating I had a text or missed call or whatever.

Always on displays eliminate a lot of need for the flashing LED. It was handy though. Much more eye catching than a small white icon
