Hi, so I currently have an A71, I bought it in 2020 and it has 3 years. It has been a good phone but now is laggy and it is time to change it.

I can’t decide between those two, right now those are my options.

S23+ at $1,099 (regular price $1,359) or A54 8Gb at $409 (regular price $559)

Of course, I know that the S23+ wins in all aspects like performance, camera, display, size, etc. My question would be if it is worth to pay almost 3 times the price of the A54 to get the S23+?

I would use it for basic stuff like Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, email, etc. No gaming, just casual photos, selfies, occasionally watch a movie in Netflix.

What would be your recommendation? I’m really struggling, I’m not sure to spend 1K in a phone that might get lost or broken (although I really ally take care of my stuff).

Also, I live in Central America, so the things are a little bit pricey here.

Thanks in advance!

    If you can tolerate the occassional stutters and lags while using those apps you mentioned then you can go for it. Otherwise if you want a premium amooth experience of both the software and the hardware then go for s23plus but personally I think ypu should go for s23. The S23FE is not worth its current price.

      S23fe is not available in my country. I would only ask to not have lag while taking photos. In phones you can take photos so quickly. My A71 can take photos every 3s or so. Is that something is improved in any of those models?
