Google leaves older Pixels behind for Android's long-awaited Battery Health menu (www.androidauthority.com)

TL;DR

Android’s long-awaited Battery Health menu has arrived in Android 16 Beta 3, but only for the Pixel 9 series and the Pixel 8a.
Google has confirmed that older Pixels, including the not-so-old Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro, will not receive this feature.
The decision is due to unspecified “product limitations,” leaving aging device users without means for native battery diagnostics.

I run 5's with Lineage. Because they're so cheap I have 3, one for testing, one as a hot spare.

Still cost less than a new phone.
