Feel free to recommend a new phone as my Google Pixel 4a battery is acting up for some time. Thanks!

1. Brand - Android
2. Budget - around 2k
3. Specs - must have good battery life & storage, dual sim, NFC, no gaming, mostly Youtube, music, and google maps.
4. Type/Size - not prefer too large as currently used to 5.8" screen, pocket size.

currently using Pixel 4a, everything is good except the battery got problem. Using bank app will cause battery drops tremendously or sometimes even phone shut down. Once charge it and start the phone it shows 75%.

Has thought of Asus Zenphone 10 but the security updates only 2 yrs so I skipped. Recently came across Pixel 7a & Samsung A54, seem like many good reviews.

Personally likes Realme's feature like splitting app, run background app, 3 fingers screenshot, side swipe to toggle shortcut app, all these are not available in Pixel 4a, not sure how to check all these features in new phone.

I have phobia with OnePlus, as I bought it and it auto restart within the first few days, so I returned & get refunded.

I have checked GSMArena, it is very unlikely to have new model with less than 6.2" display ><''
so have to say bye bye to pocket sized smart phone..

Looking at Samsung A54, it is so tempting with the pricing..
5000 mAh battery life, 5 yrs security updates, got NFC & supports MicroSD card..

Cons: 25W wired charging seems slow; lousier chipset (Exynos) and it is quite heavy (202g), I may not get used to one handed use..
and it is hybrid dual sim, i need dual sim.. plus not come with charger
