Are you going to miss the notification LED?

Guess they went with the always on display instead. I really liked it. I'm pretty sure it is NOT on the S8 or S8+, it is not shown anywhere. For those who have the demo phone on AC can confirm. Very disappointed...

I saw a few different forum threads stating that there is an LED notification on the Samsung 8 line. Don't worry!

Let's hope they don't disable it in the USA version. They do that sometimes, just like they do with FM radio and other small features.

Hope the Led notification works as I don't like the always on display on my S7

Aod is fine for me. I don't rely on the BN notification led

The led notification is really useful imo. But I thought it was there on the s8

Why would Samsung disable a notification LED based on market region? That doesn't make sense. I've never understood why they block the FM radio, but they definitely do that one.

Have you visited Bestbuy or Verizon, they have live demo units since Friday

The demo models at Best Buy have the led notification. I even double checked it in settings when I went earlier. I am in Louisiana.

That's what I heard as well. People need to fact check more before starting threads.
If this thread came out before the launch, I could see the confusion.

Sometimes although the led is present they make it difficult for developers to access it for different color notifications. LightFlow did not work as well on Note 7 as Note 3. Had to use a legacy version.

There is an LED I saw it at the store when I was messing with it...won't be disabled

That's great to hear!

I wonder if they sometimes disable it for Canadian versions as well? I have yet to frequent a Rogers or Bell store so I am unsure of this as of yet.
