Is there a way to make the battery life indicator larger w/out having to add a widget or some other doodad? The S26 was supposed to be an "upgrade" from my S20! Who decided that it was sensible to make on of THE most important indicators on the phone as small as a pin head? It makes no sense!!!!

Hi @usergNHAHgcYQB, thanks for reaching out to the Samsung Community. I can definitely understand needing the battery indicator to be larger. I do have something that can help.

You can zoom your screen in which does change the size of the whole status bar.  Go into Settings>Display>Screen Zoom. All the text will be zoomed on your screen, but that is how you can change the size of that battery icon.

Please let me know if this helps you out!

Screen zoom does not affect anything in the status bar.

The battery indicator has been an issue since One UI 7. If you want better readability of battery percentage, you can turn off the background (pill). Go to settings > notifications > status bar and toggle off "show battery background." This will get rid of the pill and enlarge the numerals.
