The latest report is the Pixel phones battery drain issue, which began after the recent update. Google released the April 2026 security patch update a few days ago. Almost everyone has installed the update, and they are now wishing they hadn’t. That’s because there has been a widespread battery drain issue since the recent update. According to feedback on the…
Samsung will start rolling out the stable One UI 8.5 update later this month. As expected, the company has released the One UI 8.5 Beta 10 build, marking the end of the beta program. The next release for the Galaxy S25 series phones should be the stable build. Galaxy S25 series phones have been previewing One UI 8.5 beta before it was opened for more devices. With the stable build in sight for the flagship phone, we expect other devices eligible for the update to start receiving it once the rollout commences for the S25 series. Meanwhile, if you are…
