Even though you are scared, the update to One UI 8 will inevitably happen automatically. You can pause it only so long. I am on One UI 8 on my S25 series phone and haven't noticed a difference in battery life.

Is there any way I can just update to the newest ? Because it's wanting me to do multiple updates to get too 1ui 8

You can potentially bypass the stacked updates by connecting to a PC and using Smart Switch to update.

Can I just do all the updates back to back ? Or is that bad for the phone ?

You can do the stacked updates back to back. No, it isn't bad for your phone. Just make sure you follow the best practices guide after you finish updating.

Personally, my battery life has significantly improved from UI7 > UI8, after the relearning period.

Galaxy phones have an adaptive battery feature that uses machine learning to optimize battery consumption based on your usage.

After a major software update, this feature resets and needs to relearn your usage patterns. You may notice diminished battery life for 7-14 days while this process takes place.
