If you think that the default battery indicator on your Google Pixel 6/6 Pro just isn’t slick enough, you can now replace it with another — only this one wraps around the selfie camera cut out instead of sitting tight on the right of the status bar. The “Energy Ring” app already supported a bunch of devices but the list now includes the Pixel 6 series too.
The battery ring engulfs the front camera and shows the remaining battery percentage in real-time. It’s highly configurable, allowing color codes for certain percentages. There are even a number of animations you can choose from that’ll play for as long as the phone’s on charging, and they do look kind of mesmerizing.
The app itself is free but an in-app purchase will remove ads along with unlocking three additional color configs. While its latest update added support for the Pixel 6 series, I tried the app on my Xiaomi Mi 11X and it worked flawlessly, despite the device being unmentioned on the supported list.
However, you will probably want to make some tweaks to avoid redundancy. Simply download the System UI Tuner app and head over to Android’s built-in tuner using it. Once that’s done, just turn off the battery icon from the status bar so that you rely on nothing but the battery ring.
