For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

    What happened to the notification light?

    My Orbic Myra 5G has one, and I got it for free.

      They were replaced by “always on” OLED displays. When I turn my phone off, the screen still displays the time and notifications. The beauty of OLED is that each pixel is its own LED, so only a portion of the screen needs to be powered. Essentially, the whole display is the new notification light.

        Is there any issue with burn-in?

      Late nineties ,early aughts… Did you used to mod Nokia bricks and early Motorola flip phones? (Razr iirc) Used to get blinking LEDs, replace the antennas with them, clear batteries that had flashing lights. Pretty much the OG RGB
