Google Rolls Out AI Battery Usage Summaries for Pixel 10 and 11

Overview

• Google began rolling out the new Battery usage summaries on Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026, delivering the feature to Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 phones via an AI Core update.
• The tool uses Gemini Nano on-device to turn battery telemetry into short natural-language explanations that identify top power‑draining apps, monitor background activity, and compare consumption with recent averages.
• The feature requires the latest AI Core update, is enabled by default on supported devices, and can be disabled in Settings > Battery & charging > Battery Usage.
• Journalists confirmed the summary on some Pixel 11 Pro models but reported it was absent on multiple Pixel 10 and Pixel 10a units they updated, indicating a staged and uneven rollout across advertised models.
• This release continues Google’s move to embed local AI on Pixels so users get privacy‑preserving, actionable battery advice that could make it easier to spot and fix app-level battery drains.
