For those awaiting Android updates, there’s an intriguing development on the horizon. The latest Android 14 QPR1 release appears to prioritize battery performance.
Uncovering the Secrets
So what’s the inside scoop? Users can now access a section in their phone settings dedicated to battery information within this system update.
Simply go to ‘Settings,’ select ‘About Phone,’ and voilà — ‘Battery Information’ is there to explore.
Within this tab, you’ll find details about your battery’s manufacturing date and its charging history. It provides insight into how you’ve charged your phone throughout its lifespan, which can be pretty interesting.
Before we get too excited, this feature seems unavailable on all Android devices. However, if you own a Google Pixel device, you might be in luck.
The Future of Android’s Battery
There is one missing piece of the puzzle. Unlike some phones, such as iPhones, this Android update does not provide information about battery health. This absence is somewhat disappointing because knowing how much charge your battery can still hold compared to when it was brand new can be quite useful.
Well, although Android 14 QPR1 doesn’t spill all the beans, it’s definitely a move in the direction. Who can say? Maybe Google still has a surprise in store for upcoming updates. For now, it’s worth staying alert for any developments, particularly if you’re interested in maximizing your phone’s battery life.
