For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

There are several advantages to not having them: without all the extra parts needed to support these features you can make the phone thinner (thickness is traditionally a key marketing point for smartphones)

I'd be pretty happy with a phone that's 1.5x thicker than normal if it has a 6000-7000 mAh battery.
