Device models that currently qualify for trade-in and trade-in credit amounts associated with those models are available on and the Shop Samsung App eligible models and amounts may change at Samsung’s sole discretion. It's definitely something I would consider useful in a device like, say, the iPhone (which has nothing).3For a limited time only, on /Shop Samsung App, or purchase a new qualifying Galaxy device (“Qualifying Purchase”), send in your qualifying trade-in device to Samsung through the Samsung Trade-In Program, and if Samsung determines your trade-in device meets all eligibility requirements, you will receive a trade-in credit specific to your qualifying trade-in device to apply toward your Qualifying Purchase. Yeah, there are more extensive “versions” of the notification LED now that provide more detailed information, but I do think a lot of people prefer that small indicator light of yesteryear. It just seems like a trivial thing to leave out (and yes, a trivial thing to complain about as well) but it wouldn’t take too much work to implement them in phones again. It’s a small feature, but I think it’s a useful one that more manufacturers should include and make available to users. Why not just include it again, even as an option? A lot of people didn’t realize it, but the device does have a notification LED that can only be activated (and minimally so) with root access. What’s even more bothersome is that plenty of phones actually have the hardware for an LED notification, but without research, external apps, or sometimes even requiring root access, users don’t have a way to use the feature. It’s just a simple, non-invasive reminder that I need to check my phone. While I do like this type of notification system, there are often times where I just wish I had an old fashioned LED light to let me know what I’ve missed. Even then, though, these new fangled methods of notifications aren't all that great. Nokia Lumias feature Glance, Motorola’s Moto X featured Active Display, and Nexus 6's Ambient Display each give a detailed review of what you've missed while you were "away" from your phone. Samsung also employs the notification LED in their smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy S6.Ĭertain smartphones have added an alternative, hands-free notification method of their own. Some do, such as HTC, which always seems to have a notification LED behind the speaker grille on the front of their devices it’s an odd place to put it for sure, but it’s subtle enough to notice and not terribly distracting. It’s one of the most basic features for any phone to have, and yet for whatever reason many smartphones no longer employ this particular feature. ![]() If the light doesn’t flash, you don’t need to check for notifications. A text message, a phone call, an e-mail, a voicemail – it could be a number of things. Just a simple outward indicator that you had something to check on your phone. If you’ve ever owned a flip phone, feature phone, a BlackBerry, and even select Android smartphones you’re probably familiar with a feature like this: Still, perhaps there was some way to make this life full of notifications a little bit easier, a little more convenient – perhaps with a small LED indicator of sorts? It’s slightly annoying, but not a huge deal. Sometimes there are some, and sometimes there are none. Throughout the rest of the day, you get up, walk away, come back, and consistently wake your phone up to check for notifications. ![]() You set your phone down on the table at this point. You bring out the phone, press the power button to wake it up. Cool.ġ5 minutes later, and you swear you feel a familiar bzz bzz from your pocket. You’re on the job, ready to work, and you check your phone for any missed notifications. It’s 8 AM, and you’ve just had your first cup of many cups of coffee for the day. ![]()
