Google’s Android battery health indicator is only for the newest Pixels

Google has introduced a battery health indicator feature for its Pixel 8A and newer devices, akin to an iPhone function but unavailable on older models due to technical infeasibility. The note from Google developers clarifies that the feature will be available only on the latest Pixel Pro devices tested, while older models remain unaffected as fixing it isn't possible. This highlights a strategic decision by Google to prioritize innovation over backward compatibility in their product updates.
