Nadsanm 8 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Hi, could someone give some pictures about the notification light? Is it visible from different angles and even several meters away? Can you see it in the dark clearly even from far away? In my current phone, the led is so tiny you cant see it from other angles or even in the dark, you must be directly near it. and on the other hand, the LED in Galaxy S3 is so bright and big :), lights up the whole room. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,201 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 It's rather too bright for my taste. I used to put a dimmer sticker on it. I gave up on that though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laska 41 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 It's very nice, bright and vivid. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EskeRahn 5,439 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I have tried to take some images, but none are good.... in showing neither Pros nor cons. The light is made from individual R+G+B LEDs, with no diffuser. Clean R, G, B colours work just fine and bright, and that is the ones used in stock. If you try to use base colour combinations to get more colours, these will not keep the combined colour when viewed from a shallow angle shadowing one of the base colour-LEDs If/when I need to take a Pro1(X) apart, I will try to add some kind of diffuser above the LEDs. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah this is my biggest dislike with it having to look head on to see which notification I am actually receiving. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure that would be doable. It looks like the LED is part of the display panel right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you buy the screen assembly I assume it is, but the BOE spare screens we can get from AliExpress just got a hole, so the actual LED is behind the display with the speaker and the narcissistic camera, ADD: Roughly here on the long PCB next to the camera (Crop from the picture 73 of the disassembly manual) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taking images of light shinning on something is much easier, but that is not really relevant for what you are asking. I guess it ought to be possible to make a set-up with the light shinning through a suitable small thin piece of paper, I have tried that too - but not with a usable result either, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nadsanm 8 Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 I was wondering if anyone could take a short video of the LED-light blinking. What colours can the LED itself show? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've never seen another phone with such a big and bright led... It really lit the whole room. I used to turn the phone upside down so it wouldnt light the whole room and one could sleep normally. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
