I wanted to inquire if this icon suggests the battery health because it looks like it is around 60 percent health and I had just recently purchased a new phone. I would really appreciate if someone could clear my doubts and could tell me a way to verify the battery health of the phone.

On your Samsung smartphone, simply type the code "*#0228#". A menu entitled BatteryStatus should then appear immediately. In this menu, you can see several pieces of information, such as the current charge level, the voltage, etc... The one we are interested in is the value called Level Block.In simple terms, this concept expresses a range of 0 to 8 which corresponds to the different "notches" of your charge level. The notch from 100 to 88 is block 8, for example, and so on as the load level drops to notch 0.

In the screenshot below, you can see that my battery's block level is "7". But the range is from 0 to 8. This means that although I am currently at level 7, if I charge my battery to 100%, I will reach level 8, the maximum block level.

There is no official information from Samsung about this, but on the forums, the consensus is that if the block level range goes from 0-8 to 0-7, or even 0-6, it means your battery has deteriorated. It will no longer be able to charge to 100% capacity at 8 blocks.

Ignore battery status from Samsung. It's of no use.

If you want to check actual status of battery condition, install ACCUBATTERY app from playstore. Give all permissions like usage access. Then charge your phone from 1-2% to 100% without using it.
You will get real battery capacity under battery health.
If you want more accurate results, leave this app running in background for 4-5 days and try to charge your phone from below 15% to 100% for these days.
You will get every information about battery health and usage.
