Phone upgrade from Samsung Galaxy S7?

EvermournEvermourn Registered User regular
I've used a Samsung Galaxy S7 for quite a few years, I really liked the physical size and the excellent camera. I like Android, not interested in Apple (have used one for about 6 months). Can anyone suggest a comparable modern phone? I've done some Googling but nothing beats feedback from this community.

Edit: just realised there is an Android thread, so Mods feel free to delete this

    Heh, I'm in the same boat. Love my S7, it's the perfect phone for my needs. But I'm being told I need to upgrade or else :(

    I just upgraded from the S7 to a Galaxy A52 5G. I got it for $360 through Cricket.
    It works pretty good. It is more of a mid range smartphone. Cheaper than the S20FE.

    My carrier was going to suspend my service if I did not upgrade to a 5G phone.

    The phone bombed 3DMark. It does not have a high end GPU. It bombed the Wildlife benchmark but did fairly well on the Slingshot benchmark.

    It does load faster than the S7 and I have seen no hiccups in performance. It runs Mario Run great. So, it should work fine for most games.

    I still need to carry over my SD card. I just copied everything and the contents of the SD card into the built in memory.

    Here is a good review. It is kind of like a bang for your buck kind of phone.
