Is there a light indicator or anything beside the front camera of Samsung Note 10 plus?

[Android Central Question]

I noticed that when I call someone, there is a blinking light on the right side of the front camera?

Im just wondering what is it (or a sensor?) Can it be activated as notification light or whatever. Thanks

Welcome to Android Central! It's the proximity sensor: https://www.droid-life.com/2019/08/26/psa-galaxy-note-10-proximity-sensor-not-dead-pixel/

And no, you can't activate it as an indicator. (You could install Proximity Service, but then every time you put your hand near it, the screen will black out [which is the purpose of Proximity Service]).

You could see if the camera LED flash can be used as a notification light: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...%2Fnote9-flash-notification%2F&token=Hy7wjQjj. Not sure if it works on the Note10, though.
