Best mobile replacement for Samsung A51s

Hi,

My wife needs a new phone to replace her A51s. Her requirements are:
  • Goodish Camera
  • Dual sim
  • At least 3 years of security updates
  • 5G capable phone
  • Budget - > Around £250 or so
  • No Xiaomi phones please

Also, people mention band20, etc. for which I have no idea. As long as she can use the phone to pay, she would be happy.

Thank you in advance for any help.

    The A54 is the obvious upgrade but it goes above the budget.

    Motorola Edge 40 Neo is cheaper and has two major OS versions and 3 years of updates (from its release last autumn)

    Thanks. I will take a look at your suggestion. That's a curved phone right? I will pass the suggestion to her.

    Any more options? (edited)

    What's wrong with current A51?

    Dropped it in water once. Manage to get the screen working after leaving it in rice for couple of weeks. But, since then it's gone way slow. It is like using it all in slow motion. It takes a second to register anything typed.
