I gave in.

Thank you. I suppose I'll update, but I'm also concerned about future OS updates weighing down my phone's operation. I think that's part of why they do it, so you always feel compelled to buy a newer model.

Thanks very much for your input :)

It's Android 6.0.1, Marshmallow. The upgrade, Nougat, is apparently not a dramatic improvement. My concern is also that one or two more steps down the line may make my phone continuously slower. I thought maybe that keeping antivirus software up to date could help mostly with security issues.

I am not savvy enough to handle rooting my phone, so will have to live with it or update. The problem is that my old phone worked very well with the OS it came with, but got unbearably glitchy and slow within 2 years. In your opinion, is updating absolutely worth it, even just for security?
