Samsung’s Galaxy Update Backfires: S25 and S24 Hit by Battery Drain and Overheating

TL;DR Summary
Samsung’s latest security update reportedly causes rapid battery drain and overheating on Galaxy S25 and S24 devices, with Google Pixel users seeing similar drain after a separate Android update. Samsung has reportedly issued a second security update for the S25/S26 line, but there’s no confirmed fix for the battery issue yet as the root cause remains unclear (with the Knox security platform among the suspected sources).
