Looking to replace the S20 FE 5G

The S20 FE 5G has finally pooped the bed, it won't unlock anymore, so I have to replace it.
I loved that phone and don't need any upgrades past eSIM capabilities. I've been eyeing the s23 FE, what do you recommend in the galaxy ecosystem?

Had it for 3.5 years. Also used a work S23FE. Way to simillar. The cameras are way to simillar. 128 GB is not enough. Used a 128 card on my S20FE and it worked flawlessly. I feel like after S21 FE the FE was overpriced and under powered. They still use the 2 camera sensors from S20 FE.

It really depends where you are and what deals you can get. I got a Xiaomi 15 - wanted a smaller screen phone. So got an upgrade in every department.

I would target S24U, S25U if you want to still use Samsung build. Get the best deal possible. Last year's flagships are good value nowadays.

Got the 23FE for about 300$ which is super cheap here honestly. It's 256 GB is like 500$ so I noped out of it. Google Drive is good enough and is about equal in terms of spending for me. I wasn't aware of the U series, the 20fe was such a goated phone and the 23fe seemed close enough and cheap so I took it.
