Android Phones Could Soon Display Battery Health Status
2π Exciting News for Android Users! π Google is working on bringing a battery health indicator to Android phones, according to Android expert Mishaal Rahman. Unlike iPhone users who have had this feature for a while, Android owners currently need third-party apps or special commands to check their battery health.
π± The latest Pixel Feature Drop already added more battery info, showing the battery's manufacturing date and cycle count. Now, Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 introduces a hidden "battery health" page, hinting at potential features like an "estimated percentage of charge the battery can currently hold compared to when it was new."
π οΈ Rahman discovered icons representing issues like reduced battery capacity or battery detection problems. The Settings app may also provide "tips" for battery health updates, such as when the phone can't detect the battery or when the battery health degrades.
π€ While iPhone users are familiar with battery health features, it's great to see Android users may finally get a built-in battery health indicator accessible right from the standard Settings app. This is especially valuable as genuine repair parts and self-repair guides are becoming more accessible.
