About the battery edge indicator
When turned on, the battery edge indicator appears as a strip of color on the right edge of the screen. The strip grows and
transitions from red to yellow to green as your device charges.
When your device is charging, the indicator displays the percentage of your current battery power and estimates how much
time is left until the device is fully charged.
To avoid disturbing you, the indicator automatically disappears when the room is dark or when your battery power level
reaches 100%. If your screen is turned on, the indicator automatically disappears after eight seconds.
