Turn the Samsung Galaxy S20 hole-punch into a battery indicator with Energy Ring

As manufacturers have tried to push the limits of bezel-less design, we’ve seen several “solutions” arise. Notches were the first trend and they’ve stuck around for a while. Another long-standing option is the hole-punch camera cutout. We’ve seen some clever methods for hiding the hole-punch, but Energy Ring is a cool app that puts the hole-punch to use. The app was recently released for the Galaxy S20 series.

For those not familiar with Energy Ring, the idea is to utilize the space around the hole-punch rather than hide it. There are a lot of customizations at your fingertips, such as configuring the width of the ring, the direction of depletion, changing colors based on battery level, and more. There are a few extra features for paid users, but there is enough in store to keep free users satisfied.

Energy Ring was originally made available for the Samsung Galaxy S10 and later came out for the Galaxy S10+ and Galaxy Note 10 series. The developer says there is a very minimal effect on CPU and battery. Note that there is a specific app for each supported device. The app below is for the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, Galaxy S20 Ultra, and the 5G variants.
