The glaring omission here right now is, of course, Wear OS smartwatches. And, of course, if you actually have a printer that runs on a battery - please leave a comment if you do, I need the backstory. Hilariously, we noticed that even printers support this widget, if the hardware itself actually returns a battery percentage. In short, this widget relies on a device to report back to Android its battery level, and have that level visible in the settings menu (and quick settings, if applicable.) That’s why, as of now, most Bluetooth earbuds support this widget to at least some extent.
However, not every Bluetooth device is technically supported by this widget just yet. Not all Bluetooth devices are supported just yet Jabra Elite 85t also wouldn’t show each individual earbud, and instead only showed the collective battery life of the two OnePlus Buds Pro and Galaxy Buds Pro did the same thing. While Sony LinkBuds and Google’s Pixel Buds reliably returned info on the case battery level, Jabra Elite 3 would only show the battery levels of each individual earbud. The only variance I’ve seen between various buds thus far has been with reporting on the case. Not-so-shockingly, the only earbuds I found that don’t show up on the new Pixel battery widget are Apple’s AirPods. So far, I’ve found that most Bluetooth earbuds in my collection support this new battery widget. However, this feature does work with other Bluetooth earbuds, albeit to varying levels. With a glance, you can easily see the battery levels of your phone and connected devices, with Google’s promoted example, of course, being Pixel Buds. One of the minor, but exciting little tweaks in the latest Feature Drop for Pixel phones is the addition of a new battery monitor widget for the homescreen.
