Battery Care

Specification says that XA1 Ultra has Qnovo Adaptive Charging! But Battery Care function is absent in the Battery settings. Any ideas?

Same issue on my XA1 Ultra. Is Sony able to respond?

@energised @Matroskin Qnovo Adaptive Charging and Battery Care are two separate things.

Ok so wrt to Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra:

1. Are there Qnovo Adaptive Charging settings and where can we access them?

2. Are there battery care settings and where can we access them?

@energised

1. there are no settings available for Qnovo, as far as I know it's controlled on the CPU level.

2. I'm not sure about that as I don't have XA1 Ultra. Battery Care settings, if available on the phone, are located in Settings > Battery > Battery Care, or Settings > Assistant > Battery Care.

Found this topic here:

/t5/Xperia-XA1-Ultra/42-0-A-4-89-changelog/m-p/1257327

No battery care option in software release 42.A.0.3.30.

It appears that the battery care option only becomes available in a later software release 42.A.0.4.101.

Not sure if those software builds are operator dependent or territory dependent (?)

@energised updates are released with different timing depending on the firmware region and carrier branding.
