Batteries don’t last forever; sadly, that’s a fact of smartphone life. In spite of the iPhone 14’s seemingly limited long-term battery health, Apple provides an easy method for tracking how your power cell is doing. It’s as simple as checking your battery settings. Even if your iPhone only lasts a few hours on a single charge, at least you’ll be prepared when the battery needs replacing.
Android phones, on the other hand, keep battery stats hidden. You only notice a problem when your device starts restarting. Thankfully, a few apps and manufacturer methods help Android users monitor their battery.
Samsung phones offer battery health checks right in Settings. The Galaxy Store app Samsung Members displays readings like “Good”, “Normal”, or “Weak”.
Hardware monitor apps also pull battery stats. AIDA64, CPU-Z and Device Info provide health scores. But long-term use tracker AccuBattery is best for tracking capacity over months of charging cycles.
The new Android 14 beta even adds a battery API allowing better system-wide checks. These tools offer peace of mind that your Android isn’t hiding a weakened battery waiting to fail. A little preventative monitoring can save hassle down the road.
