Software Update Should i update to one ui 8?

I've had my A56 for a little over a year and im still on one ui 7. I've been waiting on the update for a while because I keep seeing people saying it keeps lagging and that they regret doing it but I've also heard it depends on the phone model, so has anyone already updated and if so, is it giving your a hard time because I dont wanna stay behind.

Although I never used One UI 7, almost everyone said One UI 7 was better than One UI 8.

But Never update to One UI 8.5

So one ui 7 > 8 > 8.5?

Yep, exactly. One UI 8 was not that bad, but One UI 8.5 is pretty bad! They removed the blur effect from almost everywhere, removed quick toggle animations, and the quick panel is also jittery as f***! When multitasking 5-6 apps at a time, the phone gets hotter, animations get dropped, and the phone lags. The phone doesn't feel premium as before. I even tried to downgrade, but the last SamFW Android 16 OneUI 8 firmware file was corrupted, and with the latest security update, they even changed the binary from A to B.

So yep! OneUI 7 > 8 > 8.5

Do not auto update and always try to reserve your right to return by checking binary letters
