2025 is proving to be a year of great changes for Android. After years of incremental evolution, Google seems ready to press the “refresh” button with decision. From the first leaked images, the operating system is preparing for one of its most courageous visual reviews of recent times, and among the most evident news, a new battery icon appears that does not go unnoticed.
Shared by the channel Mystic Leaks On Telegram, the new version of the battery icon fits perfectly into the wider graphic restyling that Google is carrying out with Material 3 Expressive. This is not just a simple aesthetic update, but an intervention aimed at making the interface more coherent, intuitive and step with the times.
Colorful, information … and with an already known style
The new battery icon introduced by Google It is designed to offer immediate information on the device charge. When the phone is in charge, the icon lights up green; If the energy saving mode is active, it becomes yellow; And when the charge drops below 20%, it takes on a red color. In addition, small symbols accompany these variations: lightning indicates the charging in progress, while a “+” symbol reports the activation of energy saving. The charge percentage is integrated directly into the icon, but users will have the opportunity to deactivate this option through the device settings.
From the design point of view, the icon leaves the traditional vertical shape to adopt a horizontal silhouette, which recalls a bit that used by Apple. Although there are some differences, such as the use of black text on white background instead of the opposite, the similarity is evident. The online community also noticed this stylistic convergence, underlining how the two interfaces are becoming more and more similar.
The new battery icon seems to go in the direction of a clearer and more accessible interface. The goal seems to be to improve readability and make it immediate to understand the state of the device, even at a glance. A choice that could facilitate daily experience for many users. Currently, the icon is visible only in the versions of Android for devices Pixelbut it is likely that it is integrated into the next official version of the operating system.
