What phone should I buy to upgrade my Galaxy A55?

So I'm in the search of a new phone (I know I know, shitty time) but this phone is annoying me SO much, and so I'm looking to replace it, now I've been searching and searching but I still don't know, so here's my requirements

I do want a big battery, something bigger than 5000mAh at least

Fast charging

Not something super big, 6.3 to 6.6 maybe 6.7" is good

256 or 512gb of storage

Good customization

A decent chip that's at least better than this current Exynos 1480

I don't care about camera's

Chinese phones are fine too

I don't care about bloatware since I know how to remove it, just not too many bugs or a super slow rollout schedule

I live in the Netherlands

I'm willing to buy used, refurbished or whatever

My budget is around €400 but I can stretch to €450

If you have any more questions you can ask

Can someone pick me a mid-range phone to replace my dying Samsung Galaxy A55?

Here's the stuff I pretty much NEED in a phone and what's not that important but nice

I want to be able to OEM unlock, I want to reuse my phone after support has ended

I also want long support, it doesn't have to be like 7 years, but I'd want it to be at least 3 or 4 years of OS updates, can also be more

I need an OS that's not super buggy like my Samsung

I want to play light games mostly 2D stuff like Earn to Die or other games, I don't need the top of the line specs, since ik not playing extreme stuff to handle it

What I want but don't need

I'd like good customization

I want there to be at least some kind of an ecosystem, because I like it when products can properly hook into each other since theyre the same brand

I prefer a small display

I want a good battery lasting at least a day, preferably more, but nowadays, they almost all have that, and needing more isn't really needed, think like the battery and SoT of my Galaxy A55 but a bit higher

What I don't really care about

The camera, look, it has to be usable, but I barely shoot, and if I shoot, it doesn't have to look super good, I don't need 200mp cameras or that stuff

Display refresh rate, 120hz, 144hz, 165hz I don't care on a phone, if I want high refresh rates, I'll just pick a different device

Bloatware, unless it's ads hard baked into the software, I can always just remove apps with adb or delete them if they're not a system app

My new Cube Aim Pro bought for €275

For something that's being used almost exclusively in the city, is it overkill? Yes, is it way better than my Gazelle Orange that falls apart on every, bump? Also yes, and so far, yep, it's amazing, I've never had such a great bike, immediately bought an ART 2 folding lock for it and an alarm, my costs are now close to €350 but hey, expensive bike means expensive accessoires, or is that just me?

I don't even know how my JBL Go 3 survived this

So I was just recording my JBL Go 3 using my DJI Mic mini for audio, and the magnet it has om the back is super strong, so the woofer magnet pulled so hard on the magnet om the microphone it slipped out of my hand and SLAMMED into the cone, I honestly thought it was completely cooked, I tried to take it off, but the mic came off the magnet instead, but thankfully I could get it off with some extra force, I pressed play, honestly expecting pure distortion, no sound, or a weak crackle and some magic smoke, but nope, it's still working, like it's been through everything, I've removed the grill, pushed it to 200% volume for super long (I know you guys don't like it but still) and it's still waterproof, and somehow, it's still working perfectly fine Edit: I picked it up and yeah, the rubber feet are peeling off, come on jbl why you do this to me 😭😭😭
