Google has been working on a “Battery health” settings page for its Pixel devices since October 2022, with ongoing development in Android 16 Beta 2. Recently decompiled APK files revealed the latest version of this feature, which provides users with information on battery capacity and offers tips to extend their battery life.
The new setting allows users to view their battery’s current health status and receive personalized recommendations, such as turning off unnecessary features and updating software. Additionally, a “Battery capacity” section displays an estimated percentage of charge the battery can currently hold compared to a standard battery. However, this value may change after recalibration is complete.
Google plans to offer users the option to recalibrate their batteries through a process that takes several weeks, which will update the battery’s capacity measurement. This feature has raised interest among Android fans, who are curious about its potential launch with Android 16.
Note: The article content remains largely unchanged and presents the essential information in an easy-to-understand format.
