Battery Status (circles)
This widget design has a circular ring filled with green color and expands as per the percentage of the battery. Inside the circle, the element also features a device icon and percentage in text for even better understanding. Notably, the Green ring also turns to Red when the battery reaches a down level.
Battery Status (List)
This Smart Suggestions-like looking widget also delivers the battery status of Galaxy ecosystem devices such as smartphone, smartwatch, earbuds, and S Pen. In a list format, the widget box has a header entitled Battery, followed by the battery status of devices with elements like icon, device name, battery bar, and percentage in text.
Interestingly, both widgets look like trimmed-down versions of the ones available in the Apple iOS operating system. Talking about usability, Samsung managed to deliver the same in less space on the screen so you can take full advantage of the display on a single page.
