Android 15 Beta: Pixel battery widget gets a color boost
Key Points
- Android 15 Beta 4 brings a new look to the Pixel battery widget.
- Your phone’s battery percentage will now have a different color to stand out.
- You can now see more detailed battery information for your phone.
Google has made the Pixel battery widget look a bit nicer in the latest Android 15 Beta. The main change is that your phone’s battery percentage now has a different color than the other devices connected to your phone, such as Bluetooth headphones or smartwatches. This makes it much easier to identify your phone’s battery level at a glance, especially if you have multiple devices listed in the widget.
In addition to the new look, Android 15 also gives you more information about your phone’s battery health. You can now see important details like the date your battery was manufactured, the first day you started using your phone, and how much the battery’s capacity has decreased over time.
This information can help understand how well your battery is performing and how much longer it might last. Previously, this information was only available on newer Pixel phones, but now it’s accessible to users with phones running Android 15 Beta 4.
It’s important to note that finding this detailed battery information is a bit cumbersome right now. You’ll need to go through several menus to access it. However, there’s a chance that Google might simplify the process in future updates to make it easier to find.
