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!

    No question, the A54 would be the better phone for you. It is like an S23 lite. Not a gamer and not editing videos? The A54 is more than enough. Even if you decide to game sometimes, it can handle most games ok. Not in high graphics settings, and possibly not the best framerates either, but it can play them. Also, you will get an SD card reader which the S23 does not have.
