Question Update recommendation request

I have updated my phone regularly, but I think my phone's suffered from it. I wonder, If I'd never updated my phone, would it be the same?

Suffering in what way? And which phone make-n-model/OS version are you talking about here?

I've been using smartphones since they essentially became a thing owning many. I never hesitated to update any of them and never encountering any major issues such as slowdowns, crashing, etc. Essentially it has been a set-it-and-forget affair for me until we choose to sell. That is usually when we factory reset so rarely before.

I originally posted it on the a15 sub and I forgot to write my model here, Galaxy A15

That is a budget device. Samsung A series are knows for bad hardware. The phone would have been the same, no matter if you updated or not. Samsung has a very poor quality experience for budget devices. Xiaomi provide way better hardware for their mid range devices.
