Been thinking about the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G or the A53, wondering if these phones will outperform the S9, (I assume they will since the S9 is older tech but could be wrong). Anything out there good for 500 or under. I'm not really into cell phone games that use heavy graphics, but I do want a smooth UI, didn't want the overall feel to be laggy. Ideally 300 and under would be nice, but I can push to 500. Anyone know of good options?

anything is going to be better than the s9 at this point. do you use the camera a lot? do you care about the quality? the a53 is better than the a23's camera. same goes for the front camera.
but i think the snapdragon in the a23 5g may make this phone a bit faster and smoother than the exynos chip in the a53 5g.
i think in both cases, the camera and chip from both phones would be better than the s9.
well so far the reviews for the a53's camera are just so so:
