I got it as a gift but I would pick LG anytime if I had to choose back then

It’s completely pointless. Your phone will have essentially the same practical performance even compared to the flagships superceeding it, except for camera or efficiency. It’s all just the same, because the software is the deal breaker here. In my opinion even switching from the S10 to the S23 is a waste of money unless you have a decent reason.

Kind of depends on the camera and if you do very heavy gaming but pick the A54 if you don’t care about the camera too much, do some mediocre gaming (still able to run all games, the CPU is very decent) and in turn you get amazing battery life.
