So I am turning 18 next week, and I want to upgrade my phone. I had this current one for about 2 years. Plus it’s my 18th birthday so I want something special.

I currently have a Samsung Galaxy A52 model, and me and my dad and I looked on the market, and the best phone that is in our budget is the A54. And I see a lot of people saying it is good as well. Of course it is. It’s the next model in the A series, which has performed really well for me.

The question is, is it worth upgrading from my current one to a phone that is 2 models higher? I am not that much into phones to know if it is worth the upgrade and the money.

Is there something that might be more worth upgrading to that fits in our budget? (about 400-450$)

I am mainly using my phone for gaming, watching YouTube, and taking pictures when on holidays.

Thank you in advance if you decide to help me! If you need any more info, ask.

P.S. I saw a lot of you talking about getting a second-hand s21 ultra from Amazon, but I live in a remote country, and shipping to here will just bump up the price by a lot. I need something on the official market. Or how you say it.
