Does the newest UI update ruin the phone?

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! ^^

A part of my phone screen was frozen (my battery percentage and my clock), and it run out of battery out of nowhere

​

I have a Samsung Galaxy A55 5G phone that i have been using for 2 years now. The battery life has been getting shorter, but i feel like that's normal after this much time.

Hoverver, in the last few days my screen has freezed, it wasn't detecting my fingers for a bit. It was soon back to normal so i wasn't too concerned just yet. But today, the battery percentage part stucked at 95% and showed that all day (minimum 8hours). I only noticed the problem when out of nowhere my phone turned itself off and i wasn't able to turn it back on. I put it on a charger and after a bit it lucky turned back on and it was on 3%. I never got a notification about my phone being low on battery, and it was probably showing the wrong number still when it turned off.The clock part also stopped and stayed on "15:23" for at least 20minutes.

What could be causing this? Should i take my phone to a phone service? Is it an issue with the battery? Is it concerning enough to consider buying a new phone?

All help is appreciated, and sorry if i mistyped or misspelled anything.
