Pixel Users Get 80% Charge Limit, with a Small Catch

The latest Android 15 QPR1 update, released in December, introduces a new feature for Pixel users. You can now set your phone to charge only up to 80%, which is great for your battery's health. But here’s the thing: this feature doesn’t work if your phone is turned off. It's a bit of a bummer if you often charge your phone while it’s powered down, like overnight. This isn't just a usual update with bug fixes. QPR updates are Google’s way of improving Android throughout the year.

They bring new features, UI tweaks, and performance enhancements. This update also includes better voice isolation during calls and fixes for old bugs. It shows that Google is really focused on making Android better over time. Even though there’s a small drawback, the 80% charge limit is a step in the right direction. It’ll help your battery last longer, and that’s good news for Pixel users.
