From personal experience of One UI 8.0, I do not recommend updating to One UI 8.0 if your phone has 4GB or less RAM. Devices which have 4GB or less are the Galaxy A24, Galaxy A15 4G, Galaxy A16 4G, etc.

For One UI 8.0 to run smoothly your device should have at least 6GB which is the minimum requirement for Android 16. The Android System itself operates at a minimum of 2.5GB of RAM which is more than half of 4GB.

You can check your device RAM in Device Care.
Settings > Device Care > Memory

Causes of using One UI 8.0 on devices with less than 4GB of RAM
• Sluggish experience
• Sudden app crashes
• Closure of apps when needing to enter another apps to continue.
• Closure of background apps such as those for music (Spotify, Samsung Music)
• Etc.

Yes but if you dont update, it will be bad for security. In ly opinion, you should not update now but wait a 1 month or two for samsung to make optimization. I would not take the risk to have a virusn

Yes, but I think you can update the Security of your phone using Smart Swich on PC. I remember seeing something like that, but I will have a look.
