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

      Yes, but this has issues, too. Because dust clogs up the grills and suddenly the led is badly visible.

      This is true, and my last phone with a notification LED was like this, but I found that having the light recessed made it a lot harder to see from across the room since you’re dependending quite a bit on viewing angle.
