You get a bid amoled screen with AOD that works as a improved led. Something like that. Look at other phones with the same design and You Will see
Yep, AOD works for me. Have it on my Pixel...

A notification LED would be nice! I hope it has one. Never had a device with AOD but I'd prefer an LED myself.
No way aod is as bright and visible as led. I'm going to use their slogan on them and not buy this device.
"Never Settle"
Well I guess you can't expect to call batman using your screen
AFAIK there were rumors that said the LED is the bottom like on the Nexus 5 back then. I can't seem to find the proximity or ambient light sensor on the images so it could be. On the other hand I would say they have removed it in favor of the smaller notch. If I need to upgrade from my OnePlus 5T I'll probably have to choose between the OnePlus 6 and 6T. So either bigger notch with LED and headphone jack or smaller notch without them. Makes me not wanna buy a new phone...
Oneplus are making it very difficult to like this new phone.
They could make small part/dot on top of the display, use few pixels to act as a LED when screen is off. It's OLED so it shouldn't be a problem.?
So does it have led notifications?

No it doesn't.
Guys does it for sure have AOD or is it lift up display ambient display like the OnePlus 6? Anyone has a link that lists or confirms AOD? I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and no one talks about AOD which is VERY important if it doesn't have a notification LED.

I am definitely out then. One thing is the headphone jack being removed but the only other thing I liked about oneplus is led notifications.

No LED, and no AOD. Stupid as hell. I've been so hype for this release, and now no headphone jack, no led, and no AOD to replace it? Wtf is that. Guess I'll never settle for a OP again, unfortunately.
There's got to be some way to have the thing make some sort of blinking notification in the absence of the LED.
I'm fairly primed to buy one of these (coming from a 3T, to be used on ATT in the USA). Lack of LED is a big hit though. I gloat to my iPhone friends how I know which email account just had a new message via the LED being a specific color (I use Light Flow).

I was SERIOUSLY considering switching from my 6 to the 6T, but no notification LED and no AOD is a no go for me! How are you supposed to tell you have a notification if your phone is sitting on a table?
Yep. I don't want to root this phone and if it doesn't at LEAST include Always On Display, then it's a no go.

I've looked all over for info regarding this, but can't find anything so far.
I saw in the Samsung Captivate forum that there are devs working on a screen LED since the captivate has no LED. Does that mean that all of the samsung galaxy phones have no notification lights?
The main thing ima miss about my Nexus One is the colored trackball. I assumed there would be at least a upper notification led like tha majority of phones out today.
The Epic does have a notification light. First 2 pictures: Top right of phone, in between the Sprint logo and the front-facing camera.

I'm wondering why the Captivate or Vibrant don't have the notification light? It seems like they really did make the Epic better than the other 3 galaxy phones!
well it is a Galaxy S Pro
These two videos further confirm there's at least two colors (blue and pink):

We need more video of this amazing phone!
Fantastic, this allays one of my biggest concerns. Now if they release a car dock that works with Car Home, I'd have positively no hesitation in buying this phone.
Make your own car dock... for much cheaper. It won't auto launch the car home dock, but I made one for my Hero following a forum member's guide and it came out perfect. Cost ~$10... just use a different person for the garmin dock, i waited 2 months without receiving anything from ebay seller he recommended.
I have a car dock for my G1, but launching Car Home, automatically turning on bluetooth, etc. is sort of the point
Anyone have any ideas as to how configurable the notification lights/colors are? It'd be cool if I could have blue for work email, pink for texts, and maybe flashing blue for personal email. (or something like that)

No one has reported on it yet and the phone isn't out yet. Right now we have seen Pink/Red and Blue I believe in videos and White as well. It is purely speculation, but the phone probably has RGB LED's in there so in theory can display any color of the rainbow. The same way the Nexus and G1 display different colors for different notifications I imagine this phone will as well. Once again purely speculation.
What I'd like to know is can we control notification light colors and customize them so much that even who you get a txt from gets its own color. Now that'd be cool.

That's sort of what I'm thinking, except if not many colors, many options for blinking (incl. blink rate) or alternating colors. I sure hope the settings for these lights are powerful out of the box.
We need a proper geek to get his/her hands on this thing!
the nexus one has one (along with the trackball), but i havent seen anything about one for the nexus s. anyone know if there is one. i assume if there was one we would know by now

C'mon Google, almost every android phone has notification LED except for the 'S' series!! N1 even has two, and they are RGB LEDs!!!

go read what noLED does, it won't burn in because it constantly moves around. Not to mention it takes a long ass time to burn in a screen so unless you plan on leaving a notification there for a week, you'll be fine.

Damn people, enough of these trackball LED threads. If you REALLY want something, search the Galaxy S forums for BLN (Backlight Notifications) which uses the capacitive buttons LEDs as notification lights... it's not the same, but at least it's SOMETHING. I'm sure the Nexus S will be modded to have it in short order.

This is what I came here to say. I am willing to bet there will be a BLN kernel for Nexus S in less than a week.
Does it have notification light and if so where is it located?
I'm looking to buy moto z or note 7, not entirely sure which one to buy?
Z owners try this pleae
Turn phone off and insert charger.
G4 plus has a hidden notification light, next to the fingerprint reader is only visible trying the above method.
No it has the way cooler Ambient Display thing that Motorola's been doing for a few years

Thanks I do like the ambient display but I think double it up with notification light would be much more useful. The only issue with ambient display is the screen goes dark after a short period and Ambient Display kicks in again when you pick up your Phone. Notification light is constantly flashing so you're aware whenever you look at your phone without lifting or touching it.

Well, you could wave your hand over it, but yeah, you need to actively check it.
Get a smartwatch, then you'll know when the notifications come in
I posted this question to flossy Carter on youtube who confirmed it does have notification light. He's normally very reliable can anyone else confirm this?
I swear I remember seeing a white LED on this phone near the speaker or something when I first got it and I never saw it again after the first day...I think it has a notification light..

Ok thanks for confirming. I've preordered it from Amazon uk expected to be delivered tomorrow, will know exactly what it's like. Funny thing it's already out of stock Amazon and not sure if they will restock which is slightly strange and concerning.

I'm considering a V20. One question I have: does it have an LED, and support multiple colors?
I use Lightflow for my notifications. Different color and/or flash rate for notifications.
I'm aware of but not familiar with the second screen. I've read something about the notifications having a lifetime, ie will go away possibly before read. AS well, I think it would be easier to see notification lights and not have to even be necessarily close to the screen to read anything.
At any rate...does the V20 have the LED? Anyone using Lightflow?

You might not catch the message preview in the second screen but it's always on and showing what notifications you have
Thanks for the feedback guys.
It's a bit of a change going from a device with LED's to one without, but I ended up installing LED Blinker Pro and am using the on-screen notifications option (for devices lacking the LED light) and it works pretty good. Definitely worth the couple of bucks for the pro version.

Sure looks like it... But pausing the video at the right spot (2:06) with the flashing light on and then zooming in, it looks like it's just the glare from his lighting. You can also see a similar glare on the camera and on the screen. You can also draw a straight line thru all the...
Uh, that's not an LED
That's the proximity sensor
If you aim any camera at it you're bound to see it flashing

Since someone recently figured out the second screen widgets and can put anything they want up there (even on stock!) I'm sure we can expect some sort of led emulation thingy soon.

The link is working for me. Congrats on receiving your phone so early!
Congratulations..
Can you please check this out for me, it will be very helpful..
please can you check (when screen locked) if the notifications will show as ambient (screen black with notifications text only for a while) when receiving a new notification..? I know there is an always on display feature, but was wondering if still with it the new notifications texts will show on a black screen for a while like the ambient display feature in the old pixel..
Really appreciate if someone can answer..
Is there a way on Pixel phones to edit the nav bar buttons like on most other phones? I like the back button on the right.

So far the screen is fine. I'm not the right guy to ask about screen this or that so I would defer to the big screen thread. The only thing I do notice is a blue tint when you tilt the screen 20 plus degrees like a lot of the other people have stated but it doesn't really bother me as I almost always look at the screen straight on
In the unboxing videos I've seen, I haven't seen the tool for removing the sim card tray.
Is there one included? I'm not sure I have mine still from my 6P. I'm sure I can use something else, but it would be nice if the new phone came with one.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: so funny. Not 60 seconds after typing this, I click on an unboxing video and the first thing shown is the sim card ejector, which is in with the manual packaging.
Oh well, I hope I get this bad boy soon. My ship date is scheduled for the 24th and I'm hoping for sooner.
Yeah got my phone yesterday as well, screen is different to say the least but the accuracy of color is really gorgeous. Google said they will be releasing a fix for the screen to adjust it or maybe disable SRGB as it's not for everyone but the phone works great, lightning fast, and take everything I throw at it. I have substratum themes running on it now (non rooted) and still the phone works great and looks great.
