Xiaomi only offers 2 years, after that the smatphone will be outdated and will be running slow.

I hate the lack of FM radio to be honest. At least these budget models are supposed to have it.

You are correct it's using UFS but the write is unstable (jumps between 20MB/s and 120MB/s) and because flash storage speed scales up with capacity, 64GB model is hit badly with RAM cache which requires frequent writes.

Plenty of sales for highend/Flagship phones with midrange price point. You just have to wait for deal to appear, in recent month in Uk Poco F1 was just £89 and Poco F3 just £180.

The 4GB model isn't that slow if you change a certain OS setting. The problematic setting is found under:
Settings - Device care - Memory - RAM Plus
This value should be turned off or as low as possible (default is 4GB). For Android 12, the minimum is 2GB but Android 13 allows it to be turned off completely.
This is because Samsung attempted to cache the phone memory into NAND storage to increase available memory amount. For higher-end phones with UFS storage it isn't a big problem, but Galaxy A23 5G comes with slower (and cheaper) eMMC, which introduces severe lag on cache access.
Disabling the feature lowers free memory size, but speeds up the system because software doesn't have to be loaded from eMMC storage anymore.

It's a real shame that this A23 is the only A series this year with a snapdragon chipset. I really liked the A52s last year, but held out to see what was coming. For the 695, I bought a oneplus N20 and it's amazing
