For me the always on display on the pixel works well for this purpose. I like the little icons that show up when you have a notification, and I can just glance over to see what app the notification is coming from
Recently shot myself in the foot after buying a flagship sony, only to find they do not support bootloader unlock specifically on the US variant. It feels like a conspiracy, since it is practically the same hardware and software otherwise.
Still a great phone but I literally purchased it specifically because I thought it had all of these features and an unlockable bootloader
Still got one on my Sony Xperia 1 IV
Time to trade in the pixel
