The battery on my Galaxy S10e is getting old. I love this phone, but it's not giving me anywhere near a day's worth of moderate screen time at <50% brightness anymore. It otherwise works perfectly. Been looking at iFixit and thinking battery replacement is way easier than some laptop repairs I've done. I want to have 13 and beyond, and would need to do LineageOS for that.

Or, I found a new phone that gets me a microSD slot (mandatory) though I love the smaller size of the S10e.

So...

@voltronic What I would recommend is to get the pixel 6. You can find it pretty affordable right now with the black friday sales, and I've found it's quite fantastic for photography as well as videos. It's battery life exceeds any prior owned tablet or phone I've ever used in the last two decades, upwards to 2 days without a need to recharge with light usage between that time.

@PaganMother
The Pixel phones look great, but a microSD slot is a must-have for me. I could live with the 256 GB Pixel 7 for now, but with current deals it's $600, vs. $350 for the A53.

I can accept using an external DAC for my headphones (it may actually be an improvement). But expandable storage is a pry-it-from-my-cold-dead-hands thing for me.

@voltronic Oh I can understand that. I think they have an upgrade that has that as an option. But I could be wrong.
