Smart Glow is Samsung’s feature-rich replacement for notification LEDs

Many of this year’s flagship smartphones feature always-on displays to deliver notifications and other relevant information. According to SamMobile, Samsung is working on a new notification system that consists of a ring of lights around the camera bump. Smart Glow would pulse for incoming notifications and deliver useful information on future devices, like the Galaxy S8. Smart Glow consists of multi-colored LEDs arranged as a ring around the camera bump and will first launch on the upcoming Galaxy J2 (2016). It will be more than just a replacement for LED notification lights with “Samsung expect[ing] it to become an important mode of interaction.”
