Android worse every year? How? Every update I've received (on a Samsung, mind you) has made my experience better.

Android 12 took up 700MB RAM, leaving some space for non-sytem apps on lower end smartphones.

Android 13 takes up easily 1.2GB, leaving almost nothing at the benefit of having a somewhat "snappier" interface

Lower end phones usually already have 8 GB RAM (example: Galaxy A54 5G, 300€ new).

I would consider the A-Series of Samsung "mid-range". I know you said "lower" and "mid-range" is lower than "high-end", but I suspect tetris11's issue mostly applies to "low-end" phones. Something like a Motorola Moto G Play 2024
