With the percentage indicator we can forget to be checking screen hours and more, and so knowing for sure that our battery has seen its health to 50 %, half compared to another device with a new battery.
The mobiles who will enjoy this new function in Android 16 will be the Pixel 8A, Pixel 9 and the same folding pixel 9 pro fold. In fact, they can try it from beta 3 if installed by participating in it through the Google website. It is precisely a beta that is even recommended for day to day before the stable version arrives, supposedly before summer or in its beginning.
