Galaxy S22 Ultra 5000mAh battery

Android 14 development is underway and Google released the second Developer Preview build in on March 8th. Samsung’s One UI 6.0 software will be based on the Android 14 OS, which could introduce a new battery alert feature for user convenience.

According to the information, Android 14 has a new battery alert feature, which notifies Pixel smartphone users that their smartphone’s battery is about to die. Samsung may also bring this new battery alert feature to Galaxy devices with the upcoming One UI 6.0 iteration.

As shown in the UI screenshot, the OS pushes a notice on the screen/notification panel, informing the user that just 2% battery is remaining in the device. If you are a heavy smartphone user or often see the situation of the battery dies, you’ll see a “Very low battery” notification when you have just 2% battery life left.

One UI 6.0 Battery Alert

At present, Android smartphones running v13 get notified when the battery level is at both 20% and 10%. The OS also recommends you turn on the Battery Saver and Extreme Battery Saver features to get some time to plug in the charger.

Currently, this new battery alert feature is available on Google Pixel smartphones running Android 14 Developer Preview 2. Hopefully, the South Korean tech giant may not skip bringing this minor yet useful addition with its next One UI iteration.

One UI 6 Availability

Various Samsung devices are eligible for Android 14, while some have ended their major OS upgrades support with the Android 13 OS. The Galaxy S21, S22, and S23 series will get Android 14-based One UI 6.0. Sadly, the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 series won’t receive Android 14-based One UI 6.0 firmware.
