Hi guys, I just got my OP15 few days ago with oxygen 16.0.3 and I was wondering if I should update to 16.0.8. I saw here and there that people would report bigger battery drain with new version so I decided not to update. I even turned off installing updates from developer options. But today I suddenly got notification that oxygen 16.0.8 is installed and that I just need to reboot the device. So was this also happening to you guys? Can I somehow prevent from installing new update or I am just forced to do this

I've been using a Galaxy S20+ (Exynos, 128GB) for nearly 6 years now, and I'm really torn about upgrading. The phone still does everything I need (calls, messaging, browsing, banking, YouTube, occasional photos), so in that sense it still works. But over the years a lot of issues have accumulated, like bad battery life, heating up during simple tasks ((I know the Exynos wasn't great even when new), camera feels rubbish, bad photo quality, running out of storage etc. Few years ago phone had short circuit and display was replaced so it's no longer water resistant. I also have the feeling that any software upgrades from Samsung really slows the phone down and makes it worse.

I'm wondering if I should upgrade or keep using s20+ until it dies. Are there even any worthy devices to upgrade from s20+?

My priorities are:
-feels smooth as long as it can
-not bloated software
-software updates don't "hurt" the phone
-camera quality remains good
-good battery life

-max price 1000usd

Preferably 256GB or 512GB and good value for money (I'm perfectly happy buying last year's flagship).

I heard that OnePlus 13 is really good phone, Nothing Phone 3 also
