Samsung is working on a badly needed battery-extending feature for Galaxy Watches (APK teardown)

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR One UI Watch 8 could introduce a battery protection feature that limits charging to a certain percentage. Currently, Galaxy Watches will stop charging once the battery is full and trickle charge as necessary. This is similar to Pixel Watch’s upcoming Adaptive Charging or the Apple Watch’s existing Optimized Charging Limit. One common denominator that presents itself with all consumer technology is battery degradation. Over time, a rechargeable battery will gradually lose its ability to store and deliver a charge, resulting in less efficient battery life. We’ve seen smartphones get a battery charging limit with Android 15, and that evolution may be continuing to wearables, based on evidence we’re seeing in Samsung’s work on One UI Watch 8.
