      No LED lights means that there are no lights to show battery charging light, notification light, missed call alert light, sms received light etc… These are the lights that are usually on the top portion of the cell (available on top end phones).

      Furthermore, the touch pads (on the sides of middle home button) do not lit up when touched.

      Also it does not have auto brightness adjustment sensor.. means that the user has to manually change the brightness of the screen in darker or brighter areas.
