Pixel phones already give you plenty of detail about where your [battery](https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-battery-problems-unforgiveable-3659335/) is being hogged, but Google is adding a simpler way to make sense of it. It looks like the new Battery Usage Summary feature is now rolling out to Pixel 10 and later devices. A screenshot shared with us by Telegram user @avasthiamit shows the summary appearing at the top of the Battery usage page. In this example, the phone highlights that around 15% of the battery has been used, says this is more than usual for that time of day, and identifies WhatsApp and Google as the biggest power users. We first [spotted the feature under development two weeks ago](https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-ai-battery-usage-summaries-apk-teardown-3699191/) and were able to access its interface, though it wasn’t fully functional at the time. Our teardown also indicated that Gemini Nano would be used to generate the summaries locally on the device. Google has marked the rollout by updating its [Pixel support page](https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/2819525?hl=en) with official information about Battery Usage Summaries. According to the company, the feature identifies the apps that consume the most battery, monitors background activity, and compares overall and app-specific battery consumption against your recent average. The feature requires the latest version of AI Core and is turned on automatically when available. Google says it’s available on the Pixel 10 and later devices. In practice, it should hopefully save you some digging through battery graphs and individual app stats when something is draining your phone faster than expected.
