s9 replacement - better camera?

[kaptainmarc]

Contract is up currently on a sim only 30 day rolling.

what phone would be a good replacement for the S9?

flagship contracts seem quite pricey now, tempted to buy a phone outright.

no fixed budget per say but whats a cheapish option for a better camera on the phone, S9 camera seems lack luster now.

what would be a upgrade without breaking the bank?

Define 'cheapish'

Pixel 4a for £349 would be a good bet when it becomes available (1 Oct for the UK iirc), especially if camera is important.

500-600ish?

just not looking to shell out for a flagship model

So I think I've decided to keep to cheaper phones.

phones only used for taking videos/pictures +social media/internet browsing

I have no need for a powerful phone so the pixel 4a or Oneplus nord are looking like a no brainer.
