This month’s Pixel Features Drop has already added new battery information, and now shows the battery’s manufacturing date and cycle count.
But Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 adds a hidden “Battery Health” page, Rahman says, and while it doesn’t yet include an actual battery health meter, the code suggests it could display information like “the estimated percentage of battery charge that can be charged.” Now it’s a decade compared to when it was new.
According to the report, there are icons that appear to represent things like low battery capacity or no battery detection, and it also says that the Settings app will send “advice” when there are any updates about the battery health (for example, if your phone cannot detect the battery or the battery health has deteriorated). the battery).
The battery health indicator may seem like a very basic feature for iPhone owners, who have had access to battery health information for years, but it’s good to see that Android owners may finally be getting an indicator that can be accessed directly from the standard Settings app, especially now that the original replacement parts are now available. (including batteries) and self-repair guides are more readily available.
