What Phone?

I have a Poco X4 Pro Phone.

I don't like it. Been a bit around the houses in the past having owned phones from Motorola, Samsung, Sony, Doogee... no desperate need to change (touch wood) but looking around I'm getting confused.

Was wondering what people more clued up than me thought what might act as a viable alternative out of what's out there at the moment - a better phone handset than this one for around the £150-£200 mark....

Only requirements

Got to be big screen - this is 6.5" plus...
Got to have NFC
Got to have External Memory (SD card) slot.
Got to have decent comparable specs (decent RAM, decent processor, decent download speeds, decent network (5g) and decent op system etc)

Any suggestions...

    I can't cut and paste the specs from Ali-Express but looks like Ulefone Armor 22 is high specced and on "World Premiere" for £166 currently.

    Edit, here you go. Ulefone are a good brand I've had them for about 7+ years.

    Although the Mediatek Helio g96 an ok soc. It's only 4G. Op wanted 5G. So would need to be a Mediatek demensity or snapdragon.

    Ta all.

    I owned a Samsung A12. Didn't like that either - I have liked lots of phones I owned (honest) but just never got to grips with the Samsung or this Poco. Best one, imho, was ironically a Huawei, the honour 9

    Is the Samsung A14 much different than the A12?

    The Moto looks interesting...
