OnePlus 13 will get customizable battery charging restrict on Android 16

OnePlus not too long ago rolled out Android 16 beta 2 for the OnePlus 13, making it the primary gadget outdoors Google Pixels to get the platform replace this early. This replace is supposed for builders to check their apps on, however it additionally helps discover among the new options which are coming to OnePlus smartphones within the close to future. Because it seems, OnePlus has improved its 80% battery charging restrict function to provide energy again to the customers, figuratively.

As noticed by an unofficial OnePlus System Apps channel on Telegram, the most recent Android 16 beta 2 for the OnePlus 13 improves the battery charging restrict function. On Oxygen OS 15, which is predicated on Android 15, customers might merely toggle the 80% charging restrict setting current at Settings > Battery > Battery well being. On this new Android 16 beta 2 construct (which OnePlus nonetheless labels as Oxygen OS 15 within the Settings app), customers can toggle the battery charging restrict after which select the restrict they need to prohibit themselves to, going from 80% to 100% in 5% increments.

Setting the charging restrict to 100% doesn’t make a lot sense because the cellphone ought to be capping at that proportion anyway. Nonetheless, I’m glad that customers have 4 ranges at which they will cease to strike the best steadiness between battery life and battery longevity.

For some customers, an 80% charging restrict would really feel too restrictive within the current in the event that they don’t plan to make use of their cellphone for years and years or they’ve budgeted for a battery swap already. I’ve chosen 95% because the cap on my OnePlus 13, giving me the steadiness I want for my utilization and my current and future wants.
