S25 Ultra overheating and poor battery life

[S-Pen-Diehard]

I had this issue on my S24 Ultra in late summer, so I decided to trade it in for the S25 Ultra and it's happening straight out of the box. The phone gets really warm and the battery starts dropping at like... 1% every minute or two. Restarting the phone stops it for a little while but then it keeps doing it. I've included the battery graph, and you can see it just randomly curve down. Does anyone know what could be causing this? My Pixel 8 gets better battery life at this point!

Edit: 90 minutes of being bounced around support agents and I'm done. I'm returning this piece of junk and recommend anyone who's experiencing the same thing to do the same.

I imagine it's a bug that'll get patched out soon. From what I can tell, apps are not winding down in the background and it's causing excessive drain.

I think this is what is happening. I've had a notification on my phone to put youtube in deep sleep because it was constantly running

I think it needs sometime to learn how you use the phone. My s22+ was like that but got better overtime. Updates will also help overtime.

I've been using it for over a week now and it still hasn't learned my usage? That's very odd iPhones learn my usage within the first day and it's never had the same issue

Going through the same thing, just swapped over from Apple so not sure if this was normal at first or not.

I just finished setting it up and it is overheating. Not sure if I should send it back at this point.

Mine is doing the same thing. I'm contemplating sending it back for another.

I'm thinking about sending it back and never looking into Samsung ever again I can't even get more than 4 hours of on-screen time with this **bleep** Flagship device

Plus the battery drains faster than the 24 Plus.

Makes me reconsider keeping my s24 plus because battery is solid
