I would definitely suggest either something like a Pixel 7a or an older flagship. I bought a galaxy S20 FE when it was about 1.5 years old and I haven't regretted it one bit. It doesn't have the best camera though, which is why I suggested a "Pixel a" series phone. I would still buy a Samsung phone because I love OneUI, but that's something for you to decide.
I have had an s20 FE for about 3 years no with no issues. The non-beveled screen is a must imo. I had the s-series phones with beveled edges and cracked every screen. The s20 fe is still as fast as day one and I love it. I will probably get another when this one takes a shit. The camera is good enough for me. I'm no photographer, but the images look great.
Edit**- just looked it up. 3 cameras at 12mp, 12mp, and 8mp...... honestly don't know what that means but I hope someone will.
Here is a photo I took a couple days ago as reference. (I hope it hasn't been compressed at all)
It definitely takes good enough photos in the day, but it's quite average when it gets a little darker. And for some reason, it gets blurry with any kind of movement. That I noticed day 1. If someone moved their hand slowly in front of a camera, it produces a blurry image. That doesn't happen even in my old budget phone lol. But I'm very happy with it otherwise, and have taken some photos that I love as well.
Ya I'm not well versed with the camera aspect. Honestly when I got it I was just looking for a galaxy phone without a beveled edge. That was my main reason for getting it.
And it's perfect for that. I don't regret buying it one bit. I'm just sad that I don't know what to do about my next phone. The FE series is uncertain and anyway I can't afford a flagship when it's new.
