Samsung has filled it with UI tweaks and refinements, something the company usually saves for major One UI or Android version upgrades rather than mid-cycle releases.\n<\/p>\n<p>The changes range from noticeable redesigns to smaller details, and one of those smaller but immediately visible tweaks affects how the battery percentage is shown in the status bar.<\/p>\n<p>On previous versions of One UI, users could choose between two simple options: show the battery percentage as a number or hide it entirely and rely only on the pill-shaped battery icon. One UI 8.5 changes that behavior. The battery level is now always displayed as a number, but Samsung gives you a new way to customize how it looks.\n<\/p>\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/One-Ui-8.5-battery-indicator-2.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"82\" alt=\"one ui 8.5 battery indicator 2\" class=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/One-Ui-8.5-battery-indicator-1.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"82\" alt=\"one ui 8.5 battery indicator 1\" class=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Without battery background\n                        <\/p>\n<p>Instead of toggling the percentage on or off, you can now decide whether the pill-shaped battery icon appears in the status bar. Disabling it leaves you with a cleaner look, showing just the battery level with a % sign next to it.\n<\/p>\n<p>If you want to change this setting, open the Settings app and head to Notifications &gt; Status bar. From there, simply toggle Show battery background on or off to switch between the two styles.\n<\/p>\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot_20251215_091541_Settings.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"1733\" alt=\"screenshot_20251215_091541_settings\" class=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot_20251215_091544_Settings.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"1733\" alt=\"screenshot_20251215_091544_settings\" class=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a class=\"google-preferred-news-source-cta-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/add-sammobile-as-a-preferred-source-on-google-to-always-get-the-latest-news\/\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"google-preferred-badge\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark.png\" alt=\"Google Preferred News Source\" style=\"max-width: 50%; height: auto;\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One UI 8.5 is turning out to be a surprisingly big visual update.
