I like my current phone, it does all I want it to, and does pretty alright for itself

however, it's not very good on network, specifically cause it only does LTE connections.

Do you guys have any recommendations on what phone I could get as a replacement? Preferably Android and 5G.

also, even if obvious, please modest pricing, i beg 

 

Edit: I should also mention that I'd love a good camera if possible

I may get an actual camera some day but I'd like to have a convenient mini-cam in my pocket as well.

Had a moto g100, upgraded to S22+ (refurb from backmarket, very satisfied, looks brand new). Support is fantastic, camera is awesome, super bright OLED HDR is so worth it, paid about $479 for it.

 

If support isn't a selling point for you, the edge 30 fusion looks pretty good, and is in your budget.

If the renewed S22+ doesn't cut it, there's also the Pixel 7a. A surprisingly speedy phone with good camera quality for $499 new. It mainly comes down to screen size (the S22+ is of course larger) and whether you'd prefer Google's 'pure' Android on the Pixel versus Samsung's customized take.

I'd probably go with the Pixel 7 though at that price. They're usually available around the same price with promos.

That's true, it's just not guaranteed you'll hit the lower end of that price range with the standard Pixel 7. The 7a is close enough that the OP probably won't mind 'settling' for it.

You can get the Pixel 7 for $499 plus a $100 Amazon gift card right now. Seems like a win win.
