Loved seeing this cool little feature in store today, I hope Samsung add the cut out camera light that flashes when opening selfie cam as notifications light in future. I see the edge lighting got some updates, just wonder with no notification light on top bezel how we will see texts etc when screen is off.
Just found this:

Ok this not another is there a notification light - rather had a weird issue(?) this morning with my phone. See attached video:
Any ideas what that is???
Proximity sensor
Uses an Android, posts a .MOV file
For S10 Edge lighting can be use as notification light and some other third party apps supports always on edge Lighting.
Would someone please tell me if there's a notification indicator on the phone, so I could see if a message has come in from across the room? I've seen reference to a flashing light on the top of the phone, but can't get confirmation of this. If it's there, is it effective? (There's no AOD, I don't think?) Thanks!
There's AOD and the pop up camera has a notification light

There is AOD I believe,
The notification light will be visible as a small ring on top of the pop up camera, visible only from certain angles bit not from front,
Suits me better because I just need to see from a away from the table after shower or when it's on charge
There is AOD? Oh, that's fantastic - thank you. I wasn't at all sure from the reviews. If it has AOD, I'm in. Can the notification light change colour, depending upon notification type?
There is aod , as far as i've noticed atleast on my blue version led in popup camera is blue color, didnt really noticed if it changes color.
Im used to the led light on my previous samsung phones. The s10 doesn't have one but people were asking samsung to implement the camera cut out light, others made apps and one that was interesting that was the AOD would activate only when there was a notification to open.
As im looking to switch to the s10, are there news on the implementation of the notification light or new apps? Do the current apps work well?
Thank you!
If you're only looking for an LED notification, Samsung has updated the Edge Lighting + settings within the Good Lock app to create an notification ring to display around the camera cut out. I have it set on my phone and it performs exactly to my liking.

I have read and seen videos on it when it was released but it only worked for a few seconds when the notification showed up and didn't keep "blinking" like the led/until you seen or open the notification. Its still like that right?
I'm not 100% sure about that. I rarely see my notifications right away and generally check my phone when I get back to my desk when at work.
Holey Light on the play store...
I have read that holey lights uses quite a bit of battery, i wanted something that didn't use as much.
There was this AOD app that would only show when there was a notification but i don't know how well it works
Led notification

Also it doesn't work for downloaded apps on screen off mode.

I'm considering picking one of these up (refurb) and I've never had a phone with notch or with cameras in the screen area. Front camera has been in the bezel area right above the screen. It looks like the two front cameras on this device are essentially embedded into the screen. Does that mean there is less display areas for notification icons or does the device allow for two rows of notification icons + time/battery display up top?

It may seen that it would be e problem, i've owned mine for about 4 months bow and its not an issue. The notification bar is thin but still very readable. If you want to customize the notification panel further for space, you'll be able to download (GoodLock and NiceLock depending on your region) to help with that.

I took a peak at the descriptions of those apps and screen shots and can GoodLock actually modify the top notification status bar on top? I didn't think any app could control the look of that? Those apps seems to have quite a bit of overlap with built-in functions of latest Android 10 + One UI 2.x ? Still might give them a whirl.
SO I've had my S10 5G for about a week now. Right away, I tried the virtual bezel setting that basically black out the top of the screen next to the cameras. I didn't like the look. On my LG V30 the camera was in the bezel and the bezel was very thin so the screen display still appeared to take up most of the glass. With this setting on the Samsung, it's too heavy handed, blacks out a little too much height off the top of the screen so it looks odd with a very tall black bezel on top.
So far, I don't think the reduced space has caused my notification icon bar up top to get overloaded. What I ended up doing though was selecting a wallpaper that the top right corner is dark or almost black. It effectively "hides the cameras" while utilizing the full screen. Of course with apps open that aren't black on top, you see the large camera cutout but it's not really that distracting/terrible looking.
I like that Samsung got a little smarter on the S20 and has a very small single camera cutout in the middle of the screen now. Looks MUCH better. But still, it's only looks. Some may prefer having the dual front cameras, which I think is a nice trade off to having the larger camera cutout on the side instead of the a small single camera in the middle.
when changing to front camera a rounded white circle occurred for few sec. around the front camera
so my question is any way to make it active as a notification light for any notification
only 3rd party solutions for this nothing in-built
