Which phone is going to give me the best bang for my buck? (USD)

I need a phone to handle everyday applications and use.

Calls, texts, elevate, YouTube, reddit, web browsing, decent battery, maps, and decent antenna.

I don’t game, I take care of my phones, im not rough on them, use a case.

I want to be able to use it for at least 2.5 to 3 years.

Real world users of these phones. Help me.

    I just changed to a refurbished s21 ultra for 344 12/256gb. It is much better than both for far less. Back Market has them with 1yr warranty. It gets Android 14 and 15 plus support through 2026 so still a great phone. Size is great and good cameras too. It still one of the best phones made. Battery life is great too. Mine is like new, I bought last month

    In my opinion buy the normal s23 if you can it took me so long as i was choosing between s23 fe and a54

    Now idk if your living in asia or not but if you are then buy the s23 because it has the snapdragon 8 gen 2

    But if your living in america then buy s23fe as it has the snapdragon 8 gen 1 but be careful with it as the back of yhe phone is glassy like and it could break like an iphone if your not careful

    S23FE Is a higher tier phone , But A54 would not disappointment you

    because Its a really good phone And you can use it up to 4 years thanks to 4 major updates! And high quality back

    But if you want a BETTER phone S23FE is better

    I would say 100$ is worse it , S23FE has better chip , wireless charging , Better software , Better frame , Better , Better cameras , better in most scenarios !
