We continue to discover new features in Android 12 with the launch of its Beta 2, an update that has arrived full of surprises, with important improvements that we hope will officially materialize in this big update of the system.
Another of the surprises he hides Android 12 beta 2 is in the battery statistics, which will be more granular so you can check the battery usage by time intervals.
Battery usage every two hours
Currently, Android is limited to querying battery usage in the last 24 hours showing in a graph the hours when more battery was consumed, but it does not allow to see in these peaks which applications were used the most. Up to Android 12.
A Mishaal rahman, editor in XDA-Developer, I activated a new feature on your Pixel 3 XL with Android 12 Beta 2 which allows check battery usage at two hour intervals. As we see in the following animation, by clicking on each of the bars, we can see which apps used the most battery during that two hour period.
This new behavior not activated on all Pixels with Android 12 Beta 2. Mishaal Rahman is not sure if he accidentally activated it through developer’s options, he only found that by clicking on the stat bars he could filter by hours.
This feature is very practical, because it allows us to find out in these peaks of battery use which application was the culprit of this battery drain, especially if it happens at a time when we were not using the mobile.
Those more granular battery stats are expected to officially hit Android 12, and therefore all phones updated to this version.
