What phone offers the best price and performance for an upgrade

I have an A52 (not the 5g version) and the battery keeps getting worse. The phone feels slow too, so I’m thinking maybe I should get a newer phone instead of just changing the battery.

Is there a Samsung phone that won’t cost a fortune but still has a decent camera and is not too slow

Have you considered a used or refurbished S23

That’s the one I’ve been thinking about the most, but I’ve heard that the camera on the base 23 is disappointing. Still, it might be better than the A52
