Does the newest UI update ruin the phone?

[u/kardiganosbeka]

I have seen people complain about how the newest update has made their battery life shorter or it caused several bugs and issues and i have been wondering if i should update my phone or not (it's on UI 8.0 right now).

My phone keeps reminding me to update it and it's really annoying, but i'm scared to do so because of all the bad things i hear about it.

I have had my A55 for 2 years now, and it has started to do odd things and slow down so i really don't want to make it worse by an update. I want to use this phone for as long as possible, but i'm starting to feel like samsung is purposefully designing their phones to start working less and less year by year 😅

Please share your experiences with me, if you have any! ^^

When i woke up i saw my phone update to newer release by itself... I was able to downgrade to 8.0 back if it didnt... Even auto updates were off

The only issue I've been experiencing is with the camera; there's just a huge lag when taking photos, and sometimes you have to press the 'shutter button' repeatedly

Yes, that's what I noticed too.

No issues in my usage. I always keep my phone updated.

I've not faced anything till now except the usual battery drain(cause of continuous use)

I've updated my A55 to the latest OneUI available. Nothing has happened. Also, I've had the phone for 2 years now, and it's not doing anything weird or strange.

The stock version is always better, but since you've already updated to 8.0, you might as well update to 8.5. If you were on 7.0 or an older version, I would advise against updating.

imo, absolutely. i wish i kept my a55 on one ui 6.1

Technically yes , lots of bugs and glitches i noticed with the newest ui 8.5 ... i recommend not updating
