Where to move from Samsung A52?

There is no alternative below 1000 EUR.

Alternative in what sense? I think most, if not all, modern Xperias have both headphone jacks and microSD slots. I'm not sure how they are when it comes to android updates though.

Worst. 2 years only with awful track record even for the security updates.

And the price is around 1400 eur.

The 1 VI yes, but there's also a cheaper 10 VI. Seems like it is supposed to get 4 years of security updates [1] too, but I suppose only time will tell how that actually plays out.

Check out this search tool: https://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3

It's a great resource to find a new phone by feature set.

For me, the microSD slot is the important part, and the Galaxy A54 still has one. No headphone jack, though.

Samsung Exynos 1380 is huge downgrade and cam offers no improvement.

Huh, the reviews I read seemed to say that the camera was a huge step up. (But maybe they were mostly comparing to the A53, which seemed uniformly to be regarded as a regression.) If not, then I feel quite stupid for paying the extra to "upgrade" to an A54, instead of an A52, from my A50.

(Also, though it's easy for me to believe this random search result is dodgy, and with the understanding that benchmarks don't mean much, Googling around for a chip comparison turned up https://gadgetversus.com/processor/qualcomm-sm7125-snapdrago... , which seems to suggest that the Exynos 1380 in the A54 wins over the Snapdragon 720G in the A52 in many benchmarks.)

Raw performance is not only factor. There is heating, battery and image post processing optimizations which are miles ahead on SD.

Samsung A15 has a headphone jack, 128gb storage, OLED screen, and SD card slot in the SIM tray.

It should have 4 years of updates too, which at $270 CAD is $5.63 per month of support.
