Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S24 Ultra owners are facing severe battery drain and overheating issues after installing the July security update. This sudden drop in battery life and rise in device temperature directly impacts daily usability, forcing users to carry chargers more frequently and limiting screen-on time. The problems appear widespread, affecting multiple devices across both flagship models.
Users report rapid battery loss and overheating on Galaxy S25 Ultra and S24 Ultra
The issues emerged immediately following the deployment of the July security patch. Users report that their devices run significantly hotter than usual, with some experiencing idle battery drain of 5 to 7 percent per hour. One S25 Ultra user documented a rapid decline from 85 percent to 5 percent battery life in just two hours of screen-on time. These symptoms were not present before the update.
Beyond battery and thermal concerns, some users report slowed charging speeds alongside the other issues. The combination of heat, drain, and charging slowdowns suggests a systemic problem triggered by the new software. Samsung has not issued an official statement or confirmed a fix for these issues. We touched on Samsung One UI 9 Testing Expands in our earlier Samsung coverage.
The lack of an official response leaves users in a difficult position with no known workaround. Devices continue to exhibit the reported symptoms without a patch from the vendor. Buyers should monitor for further reports or an official statement from Samsung regarding the July update.
