It would be great if the battery level of the bluetooth device you are currently connected within the bluetooth icon in the status bar (like many Android phones and iPhones do, see picture below). I realize there are ways to show the bluetooth level battery level like widgets or through the media output menu. But imo, having it in the status bar is just so much more convenient to monitor the battery of my devices. So at least the option to do that would be great!
Cheers!

Thanks for your suggestion, @Atcy. I appreciate that you have already alluded to the ways you can check the battery level of your paired Bluetooth devices.
You can also access this information via the Status Bar (albeit via an extra click) by holding the Bluetooth icon. This will show all of the Paired devices and any connected devices will be highlighted on the Bluetooth menu with the battery percentage indicated underneath the name of the device(s).
Alternatively, you can access the same menu via Settings > Connection > Bluetooth.

I appreciate the additional suggestions, I still think have the status available at a glance in the status bar should be an option.
Cheers!

Thanks, I'd prefer not to waste space on my home screen. I really do think status bar option should be available.

It's a good idea, @Atcy, and I definitely understand how it could be useful. From what I understand, however, the fact that multiple Bluetooth devices could be connected to your phone simultaneously would make the status bar more cluttered (e.g. seeing battery information for more than one device) - whereas, as it stands now, you can access the same data via the use of a widget or a long press on the Bluetooth icon.

Thank you for the suggestions, I hope Samsung will add this feature in the future. (I'm not sure how devices that have the status bar feature handle multiple connected devices as I rarely do this, but I'm sure there is a sensible way.)

Just make it display for the active audio device like LG does it. I've had multiple devices connected before and it only showed the active one.
