I've looked around and no one seems able to 100% confirm or deny if there is a notification LED.
I know the G6 doesn't so im hoping they have rectified their error...?
Cheers
There's definitely no notification LED.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. There's no led notification light? ??
I was gonna grab this device even though I don't like the headphone jack placement mistake they've made. Now there's no led? That's a deal breaker for me. ?

There is OLED notification via always on display. OLED make an extra LED at the top obsolete, especially in bezelless designs.

Notification LEDs will never be obsolete. The s8 still has one and it's very useful, despite it having always on display.
Definitely not a deal breaker
I saw in one video a violett light flashing right next to the loudspeaker, happened during a video or sound recording.
Was a German video on areamobile.
May it can be modified.

Hmmm... Yes, that's what happened with some of the Moto phones. There's a green LED notification for low battery only, but devs modified it to be general notification LED in custom ROMs.

I wonder if this was the proximity sensor which is just reacting to the camera?
It is obsolete, OLED can totally emulate an LED and look exactly the same. No need for an extra component. Just use an LED notification emulator for always on display.
Well, if there's an out-of-box function which has a simple notification on the OLED screen which works the same way as a traditional LED, then I would accept.
As for S8, they have notification on the AOD... which is fine.
But wait.. I'm one of those who does not have a lock screen, thus I can never get notification icons on my AOD. That sucks. So you can imagine if the S8 does not have a notification LED, I'd be forced to turn on the lock screen, or live without any notification indication.
Bummer..
Really bad movement by LG not to have led notification despite having AOD.
S8 series has both of them so why not by LG.
Bad decision defiantly.
Actually it does seem to have LED notification. I am going by specs on a couple websites that list it as available and the picture on LG's website.
Edit: apparently not. See below.
Having the G6 without it I will say not a big deal. AoD is awesome enough, much better to glance at that.
no led notification, confirmed by LG

I'm ok with AOD too.
But.. is the AOD with all notifications present without a lock screen? I've love to know :fingers-crossed:
Considering how much they've been pushing the AOD, it'll most likely not have a notification LED. I however would love one, despite the AOD.
I feel like an old timer who can't adjust to how things are right now, but I feel like AOD's are a waste of valuable battery resources (however light they may be).
I know an AOD will work wonders considering the amount of information it can display on a notification, but having an RGB LED pulse like night rider just sits better with my liking. I love having a green pulse for whatsapp, a teal pulse for group messages, a white pulse for sms and a purple pulse for missed calls (red for e-mails etc).
I'd love to have somthing wide like Pixel C. Maybe a notificaiton LED and an AOD triggered with the proximity sensor (flick of your hand, or pulling it out of your pocket etc) with a summary of the message or event.
But yeah, it probably won't have an LED. and yeah, despite talking so much about it, I probably won't miss it (except for the cringy feeling inside me when I go to camp and want to squeeze all my battery has to offer and I have to turn my AOD off)
I hope you can customize the heck out of the AOD or have an LED notification lookalike. Otherwise this is a dealbreaker. I use that light for everything.
Depends on your usage but for me RGB NLED is simpler and more effective than AOD. AOD is better if you keep your phone close to you at all times as it provides richer information. But i'm not glued to my phone. When I'm doing other things at work or at home I leave my phone on a desk or sofa or whatever but I can still see the NLED from a distance and decide whether to ignore it or not depending on the colour.
AOD on the G6 and S7 were not very visible at a distance. Maybe it's brighter now, I'm not sure. Will have to check it out in person. Also I'm not sure how much the AOD impacts battery life.
NLED is one of those features that does a simple job but does it effectively with little fuss. Not a deal breaker but I will miss it if it's gone. Paying for a new phone and losing a feature is not a nice feeling. Each to their own I guess
Otherwise I think the LG V30 is close to perfect for me. Was thinking about the Essential Phone but the camera is terrible and no headphone jack is pretty annoying.
I had the Mate 20 at launch and ended up returning it for the screen bleed issues, I decided at that point to switch to the Note 9 but have always had half an eye on the Mate. I really enjoyed but could not past the screen issue and bugs at the time.
I was always pretty confident that the screen issue and other bugs would work themselves out but the one annoyance that I am less hopeful of Huawei fixing/improving is the always on display which in it's current form it is IMO pretty useless. The reason I doubt it will improve is it has not changed at all from last years Mate 10 pro which points to it being something that is not high on Huawei's list of priorities. Honestly if they did put a proper AOD on there I'd probably pick one up again.
What do you think? Will they improve it all or will we have to wait for next years Mate 30?
The screen bleed issue was never a defect--screen bleed is normal with a folded OLED display. Samsung phones including the Note series do not use folded OLED displays.
Your long post is pretty pointless since you don't give any indication of what you think is wrong with the AOD on the M20P and what you would consider an improvement.
I'm fine with the AOD on my phone but I haven't had a Samsung phone in a few years. You might be looking at differences between Touchwiz (is that still Samsung's Android skin?) and EMUI.
Neither Samsung nor Huawei phones run stock Android. If you are looking for a Samsung specific software mod it isn't likely to turn up on Huawei phones.

Most always on displays show more than just phone calls and sms messages. I'd like to see notifications from other apps. It's not a major deal for me but it would be nice. It's not just Samsung phones that implement a better aod experience. Like I said I'm not gonna ditch the phone because of it but it would be nice if they allowed it to show more notifications.

No 3rd party app support is what I was referring to, so whatsapp, email (even with the built in app), Facebook, Twitter, etc etc so not show on the always on display, makes it pretty pointless IMO, YMMV.
It was not the reason I returned the phone of course but my time with the M20 proved to me how much the AOD is a feature I really appreciate. LG, Samsung and Google all have very good AOD's.
The last Google phone I had was the Pixel XL which I don't think had AOD or an AMOLED screen.
Do Google, Samsung and LG AODs show full notifications or app icons when you get notifications?
This is the first phone I have used with AOD so I have nothing to compare it to.

The green hulk screen was absolutely a defect. And my replacement does not have it, nor does my wife's Note 9. a slight hue around the curved edges with the polarizer can be normal, however Samsung has seemed to figure this out on their curved screens. The green was not a product of a curved polarizer. It was something else. And progressively got worse over time. the curves polarizer creates a different color view from an angle. this is what you see when you have a white background and tilt the screen left and right. It happens less on Samsung screens.

Yes, other phones do present more info, but I've not used it too much
I had the original pixel XL, and I'm pretty sure it did have an OLED screen. I think the always on display was an option, but it's been a while so I'm not 100%.
Would be also nice to have clocks with different time-zones on the AOD, like samsung does it...
I don't think we'll see added support for this as AOD will rely on running a process for each app in the background. As most of you know, that isn't the Huawei way and probably explains why it doesn't exist already.
yes huawei focuses on the screen resolution from the previous one mobile..

You don't see it the components of the finger print sensor the small and large square between number 5 and 8. They are only visible in direct sunlight on light/white wallpapers
Did you expect a component that is able to read your fingerprint, located under glass, to be completely invisible in every possible situation? ?

Actually OP has a pretty valid point, and you are being just annoying. Nobody expects to see stuff from under the screen no matter what on any device. Only the display contents are supposed to be visible.

The above being said.. I don't think I can see this under my screen. I have never noticed this (but have not looked for it either). Either outside under sunlight or inside; on bright and/or white background apps. Mine is BOE screen, not LG, if that makes any difference.

This! Exactly, thank you.
Mine is BOE with serial production batch 18c28.
So i swapped my first device kinda wish i hadent as the screen was great.
New device has green tint anything below 10% (this i can just about live with as i just raise brightness). However i recently noticed in direct sunlight yesterday that i can barely see screen and it tints purple (yes i have adaptive brightness on)
Now something really strange in bright sunlight when a shadow casts across a white screen , the shadow against screen is green has anyone else noticed this ......?
.
hard to capture properly as spare phone is an old iphone but the green shadow is from my hand which can be observed above , also notice how the white tints to purple.

Well the green tint below 10% i don't experience with my phone.
The other notion/complaint, is just natural properties of an OLED panel, all my previous phones had the purple in sunlight tint.
probably the brighter sunlight reflecting in one of the physical layers of the panel. Nothing you can get rid off unless you want LCD.

exactly the same as on mine.. will probably send it back
Just got new phone July batch , first impressions are a lot less green tint ..... thank god June panel was a joke July panel I think its still there just a lot less this time ... will see later this evening and post picture back.
black bar across top i can see but not to bothered about this in all honesty.
Colours have to admit whites are cleaner as a result but rest look to be calibrated identical to last panel.
I think my first panel dated May was the best colours just seemed to wow instantly , everyone who saw phone commented on display in a positive manner.

Here, this is how mine looks like at min brightness: green tint and horizontal bar

Might that be because your device is prior to May on build?
I think it’s pointless replacing now I’ve had three models and it seems inherent now from my own experiences.
Do you use dark mode?
Sorry for the questions just trying to get some feedback
I’m only speculating but my latest device also has it my only device which didn’t have it was built in May , I’m wondering if the early batches had good panels for reviews etc and they cheaped out after that to bring production costs down (speculation as I say) but seen this before with other companies.
One thing I’ve noticed on my latest device is it goes a lot brighter than my previous June model. I’m thinking if I want to keep this device, I’m going to have use light mode which is a shame, if we had root we could just black out all the grey parts like status bar notifications etc and mask issue.

not sure about your theory abt early batches; my device's QC date is April 22 and yet I have display issues
seems this type of issues are pretty common with this panel which is used by both Oppo and OnePlus

yep, seems so.. a lottery
the thing is that I can see this issue only at very low brightness, somewhere below ~15%
and in everyday use the display is perfect (I anyway always use light theme)
but then again it bothers me knowing it is there
on the fence now:
send the Oppo back (already have return label) and try luck again with OP8 Pro (order placed, should be dispatched tomorrow; I sent back my first OP 8 for a refund due to same display issues)
or just live with it, keep Oppo and cancel OP 8 order...

As the title said is this normal, I'm really not familiar with how pixel handles animation but refer to the video attached, this is also happening inside the settings when I tap something from there. Thanks! this is my 2nd Pixel Device and I don't know if it's really made like that or just an android 12 thing I just want to be sure. Thank you!

Thanks for the response that's what I thought first haha that it's a bug from A12 then a new update came it's still there my 2nd thought that it's the fault of my oled panel but knowing it's normal, I can finally find peace hahaha. Pixel devices are not really available here in my country so warranty is very limited that's why I'm really keen on finding something bad about my unit so that It can get replace quickly before the personal warranty given expires but so far my unit is flawless and the worst case I thought as a problem is this animation
You will see several other flaws with the screen but this is also normal unfortunately.. Like a rainbow effect on the white colors depending on the viewing angle, and a green tint on the grays..
This Oled panel is not that good tbh, it's better on the pro version
