 Do not want an iphone.

Android only.

 Decent storage/memory.
Sd card.
Aux, headphone jack.
Usb C.
Rounded edges (so I guess the note series are out).
Medium sized screen, not to big.
Perhaps go for a LG

S21 Ultra, worst downgrade ever from Note 20 Ultra, although I suspect I may have a defective one.

So why not go back to the 20?

I guess I can also do without and would need to go wireless or buy the charger/adapter for headphones.

   In a way it's like the new laptops without the Dvd/cd drive, something of the past.

  Needs to have a decent to fast processor even with tabs and many different applications open, plus a filter and all I can't afford for the phone to be slow.

@myi you might be disappointed with the battery life of an s10, and especially the s10e, and it's worse if you get a used one.

Lol, first thing I would do is send it to samsung for a battery replacement!
   Yes that's one thing all my time using samsung Products, I will say turned me off.
  The battery on all my devices I've ever owned were a real disaster.

 From the S4,S5,S7,S9.

   I'm leaning towards getting another Samsung only because I've been with them for quite a bit.

 Though I was using a Motorola X4 for a while which was great, speed was pretty good, though there's always room for improvement. And memory was capped at 64gb plus expandable with an sd card.

 So then again doesn't have to be samsung, I would settle with a One plus, pixel, LG, Motorola. Or another solid phone.

   Either I would find someone here on the forum selling the phone or buy from swappa.or directly from the company if they're offering trade in offers and ...
   Yes a new phone is not a used phone.

  But with a headphone jack and an sd card that would mean I would need to get an earlier model device.

?
I thought the s10e had a very good screen on time amount.
Personally I'm happy with the battery life. Although I got it new.

Squeeze it! Lol

 On another NoTe(pun not intended) I just saw a video of a Vitamix showing how powerful the motor was , literally blending everything you can imagine, from a can of coke to a speaker, cell phone...

To answer the OP, and probably not going to be the most popular here, I've been using Unreal Mobile. $10/mo, 2gb high speed. In all the years I've been using cell phones, it's the most I've ever paid. We always use MVNOs. Service has been working well after getting some of the early bugs out, runs on T-Mobile network (was on their AT&T plan before that). It's actually Red Pocket now behind the scenes.

I just traded in my s10e for a s21. I've been using it for a few weeks and can say it's def faster. Battery life on the s10e was OK, s21 a little better. I'm used to having a 256gb SD card over the phone in built and I love my plug in earphones, but the trade in value of $550 and the reasonable MSRP on the s21 was too good to miss, in addition I basically got a A7 tablet for $50 after the $100 credit they give for buying products. I got the 256gb version, got a pair of Bose flex Bluetooth earphones for $50 and couldn't be happier.

If your used to Samsung you will probably like it, if not there are probably better options out there.
