really starting to need a new phone,, but unsure which

Recommendation Request🙏

so my lovely samsung s21+ 5g is slowly dying,,

- charging port is broken, and my last working resort has been a laptop charger after going through 3 other cords

- sim card occasionally disconnects/moves and i have to smack the bottom of the phone to reconnect it

- one of my lenses is fogged or blurred. think something got in it

- storage is a constant issue. i've had to uninstall so much and yet i still cant get less than 10gbs free

- because of low storage = phone slower

so yeah. i got this when it came out in 2021, it's made it a good 5 years. but comparing my specs to others really makes it a little sad. i've been looking at the samsung 23-25. just looking for a regular phone, no flip or fold. though i have some preferred specs

- 256gb of storage or more

- 4800 mAh¹ or better

- 8gb of ram or more

- i like good camera quality, but genuinely convinced anything would be better than my current specs 💔

are there any good recommendations for something along these lines ? preferably for a decent price, $300-$600 maybe, unless there isn't any options within that range
