They were a good indicator for notifications that are missed when you were away from phone.

Just bought Galaxy XCover 6pro. Lost many features I had in my previous phone. Kept removable battery and headphone jack. Gained notification led.

Can't say I really missed it tho. I'd trade it for an optical image stabilizer.

My phone still has the LED but I turned off the feature long ago including the battery low and charge indicators. More annoying than useful.

I hate the LED and I'm so glad my current phone doesn't have it. It's especially the charging indicator that bothers me because it's so bright at night

Why did LED notification lights silently got removed from phone?

What's the normal sound of removing feature from the phone?

On more serious note, this is why I have smart watch.
