Hi, I've recently got the new 8.5 update. Since then, my phone has been getting hotter.

Yesterday, just when I was using my browser and searching for some info, the phone died with 60% of battery left. The phone was very hot, and I thought that it was weird. I left it sit for a brief moment and tried to start it again.

My battery is in good shape. I've always used slow charging and limited my charge, so that I wouldn't overcharge it.

When trying to restart, I was getting the Samsung Galaxy Logo. The phone couldn't get past it, so I tried the force restart. It didn't work either.

I tried several other things found on YouTube, such as tapping on the phone in different places, etc. Didn't work either.

Finally, I decided to do the volume up and power button combination while plugged in to a laptop. However, I can't access the recovery mode. Sometimes, I get the Samsung logo. Sometimes, I only get the black screen.

I've never had any issues with the phone until now. I've had the update for about a week.

Any tips on what could be done? It's beyond frustrating.

Update: So I went to a service center and got the phone diagnosed. I'm not the first one with a Samsung phone that has come to the guy recently. The issue is related to the processor overheating, which makes the phone stuck. He was able to access the phone after taking out the battery and putting it back but after a few minutes it got back into the same boot loop eventually ending up in a complete freeze. Reverting to the previous OS could possibly work but I haven't been able to access my phone again. It was my first and last Samsung phone. Had less issues with Chinese phones...
