  • Energy Ring turns camera ring battery meter concept into reality

The Energy Ring app designed for Samsung’s new Galaxy S10 phones is becoming popular, as it makes great use of the hole-punch camera cut-out on Samsung’s Infinity-O display.

Energy Ring activates the light strip that surrounds the hole-punch cut-out to show you how much battery life your Galaxy S10 has.  

The Energy Ring app has added support for the Galaxy S10 Plus, which has a wider, pill-shaped cut-out than the circular cut-out on the Galaxy S10 and S10e.
