Battery Widget in Google Pixel Mobiles
This Pixel battery indicator was first introduced in March at the beginning of March and has since been subject to several changes. In June, the update offered the ability to reduce the size of it to smaller dimensions and to display the available capacity for the battery on Wear OS smartwatches.
Widget for Battery Percentage
Version 1.1.0.452445739.sr of Settings Services is responsible for the Pixel’s Battery widget becoming smaller. The old configuration was 2×2, but it could now be as small as 2×1. As we mentioned the other night, there’s a 5×1 dimension that allows you to display three items simultaneously, such as a phone, the left earbud, and the right one. At 4×1, Pixel Buds can be mixed with a single percent.
Another significant aspect that’s changed is that it now has the “Other device” line item, which serves as a count of the connected Bluetooth hardware.

Battery Widget with Remaining Time
A new version of the battery widget for Pixel has added support for showing a remaining section that shows how long your devices are expected to last. It appears to be appearing on Settings Services v1.1.0.476812811.sr, but it might not be available for all users. We’ve been unable to reproduce the changes on the stable Android 13 build version, but it seems to be working in a QPR1 Beta program.
