I replaced a cheap older LG phone which had an LED that would flash if I got an unanswered phone call, voice mail, email or text. Very handy if you don't keep the phone with your all the time, as you can quickly see if you got a message without having to wake up the phone. Any phones still have that feature?
Any phones have a notification light for messages separate from the display screen?

My Google Pixel has the notification light above the screen. Not sure if this carried over to the newer models.
Samsung Galaxy S9.......could also be set to vibrate when you pick it up if you have a missed message.
I do also have a new Moto e which doesn't have it. And it's too big.
I want to know there is a message when I see it on the table from across the room, don't want to go and touch it or turn it on to find out.
It did not. The screen takes up the entire front area. But apprently there is an app you can install to use the ring around the front camera eye to light up.
These newer phones suck... they are too big the samsung a11 is a nice phone but too large more like a phablet at 6.4"
Sorry Pete, but yes it does. I see it blinking every day without using an app. Like I said, not sure if this carried over to the newer models but a Google search says it's common on most pixels.

I was saying that it did not carry over to the newer models - pixel 5.
Gotcha. I misunderstood what you were referring to.

My parents Samsung Galaxy S5 and S7 had it. Now their S9+ and S10+ have it I think but I’m not too sure. My iPhone doesn’t have such feature.
I was a bit unsure if I'd like the size upgrade from the 7 to the 11 (6.1") I got last year, but within a few days it felt completely natural and now the smaller phones feel tiny to me (especially the screen) - it's all about perspective. I'd rather have the screen cover almost all of the front, personally, and wouldn't want to go back to a lower screen: body ratio.
Yes! The Samsung S9! And it also could be set to vibrate when you pick it up if you missed a message!
Samsung S9 notification LED’s
Solid Red: Charging
Blinking Red: Missed notification
Solid Green: Connected to charger, fully charged
Blinking Green: Fully Charged
Blinking Blue: Low battery in need of charge
My only other spec would be size. My new Moto e at almost 6 1/2 inches long is too big so I keep it as a spare with a second number. Very nice phone otherwise for just $80. My main phone is a new LG that at almost 6 inches long but also a bit large for comfort in a pocket so I usually leave it in the cup holder unless I expect to use it away from the car. It too is very nice other than size and for $70 I can live with it. I'll check out the Samsungs and Pixels but cant imagine spending $200 or $300 for phone unless it's perfect.
Didn't you get a Palm phone as well? No notification LED in that one either?
