Xiaomi turns to Apple and starts showing key battery information in HyperOS

Any user would like the battery life to be as long as possible. Most of us are aware of the 80% rule, which states that very fast charging is not entirely recommended for everyday use and that cell phone batteries typically wear out significantly after two years.

Companies like Apple have long provided additional information to know exactly the state of our battery: an indicator of its health. Buy 100% and watch it fall month by month. A practice that seems to be starting to become fashionable. At least that’s what Xiaomi thinks.

Apple has been showing health data as a percentage since iOS 11 in 2017. Xiaomi wanted to join this proposal, and Xiaomi 14T Pro is the company’s first terminal that now shows the battery status, as we read in Xataka Android. .

HyperOS in version 1.0.11.0 already offers advanced battery information, so it is expected that several of the company’s terminals will be able to access this feature.

After many years of using the iPhone as my personal cell phone, I can assure you that battery health is a double-edged sword. The first reason is that its decline is not linear, that is, even if we use it constantly in this way, each month the percentage will not decrease by a certain figure.

Typically the battery will stay at 100% for a few months and then drop until it reaches 80/85%. In this range the battery usually stabilizes a bit and we can even exceed a year of battery life in these figures.

When the battery charge drops below 80%, as the manufacturers themselves indicate, it needs to be changed as its service life is coming to an end.
