Pixel 8a to debut Android’s Battery Stats feature, Google teased

Google reportedly confirmed the Pixel 8a is coming with Android’s Battery Stats feature. Battery Stats, which showed charging cycle counts and the date the battery was manufactured, was added back in Android 14’s QPR1 update.

The recent March 2024 update for Pixel phones swiftly ditched Android’s Battery Stats feature. However, Google confirmed through a bugtracker comment that Pixel 8a will introduce the feature again.

The company also noted that removing the battery stats feature is intended behavior, as this page was never meant to appear on existing devices. The function could only be available on the upcoming Pixel 8a and future devices.
