Assuming you're going for decent image quality shots...

unless you're willing to go for those high-end gopro hero 11 or the latest dji action 4, most action cams come with extremely small sensors.. in fact, way smaller than most mid-range to flagship phones. most midrangers have pretty decent main camera at least 1/1.7 or above sensor size.

The action cams not mentioned above still come with <1/2 sensor sizes which is terrible for low light/underwater. If your footage is mainly outdoors, bright lights, then action cams are pretty good for these use cases.

maybe buying a nice underwater housing for your phone might be an option also.

Happy hunting

I'm still using a Canon S95 + Canon underwater housing.

A quick google search shows a used S95 selling for RM200 and case RM300
