I also recently changed my A71 because the battery was dying at like 50% when used outside in colder weather.
I got A54 and can certainly say that it is not crap. Works just as good as A71 and even better. The screen is great, the build is great, the speakers are amazing coming from A71, the camera is great and the battery is also very good. Though it does tend to get warmer than my A71 ever would.
So, judging by your use case, I would just go with A54. You don’t want S21 FE because you already have battery issues and with this phone it will be even worse. S22 is great but with Exynos and small battery capacity it will also be pretty bad, also it’s much more expensive. So the choice seems clear to me, but that’s just my opinion.
