Samsung Galaxy S series help

I have had the S3, S6 and currently using the S9 which I have had since its release.  It has been fine but the battery life is not good and the phone seems slow.

With Black Friday coming up I am considering a new phone.  It will be phone only, and will buy outright. 

Is there much difference between the S20, S21 and S22?  I would like decent battery life, good camera and storage.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

    I've had the S20 and the S22 and they are fairly similar. The S20 is an older style with a glossy back and curved screen. The S21 and S22 are not much different and have a matte back. I think (if I remember correctly) that the S21 basic model (i.e. not the S21 plus) has a plastic back whereas the others all have glass backs. The S22 has a flat screen, except the Ultra model, which is still curved. The battery life is pretty similar on all of them, in my experience. The cameras are better on the more recent models but in my opinion the S20's camera is perfectly good enough.

    So, IMO it comes down to what your price range is and which design you prefer. Obviously, the later models will get software and security updates for longer as well, so that may be something to consider.
