Samsung Galaxy A42 vs Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G

It won't be used much outside of that, I won't be traveling with it or using it outdoors. I know smartphones are basically that as I have an A42 Samsung with a bluetooth controller, which I may be getting rid of so I would like the same functionality in a stand-alone camera. I do not need the extreme resolution and ultra high quality for I only really have used the front facing camera. That is basically it, just looking for something under two hundred dollars if possible, if not than three hundred and under is still an option

10x zoom is good only in bright lighting. But the camera lets me down every time I try to take a picture of my kid inside, every time it comes out as a blurry mess.

All I care about is reception, battery life, and basic smartphone functionality. The bells and whistles are nice, but they don't decide a purchase. I usually shoot for $150, so this was a splurge. My first foray into Samsung after sticking with Motorola since my first smartphone

I didn't realize the phone was learning my use patterns. After about a week the battery life is great! I use my phone all day for business and personal and now I no longer need to charge it in the middle of the day. First time I've actually used the face recognition on a phone. And it's working great
