That's why I think I'm going with the Samsung A54. It's around that price (if unlocked), but has decent specs. I eventually want to phase out my 4-year-old A50, mainly for android auto reasons. Need to ask online though, there may be better spec'd phones for the price point.
No replaceable battery, sadly, but those don't really exist at this point.

I am also in the market, and replacing my small/compact Moto G4 after 7-8 years. Sansung A54 seems to be the most appropriate replacement, based on my criteria.
I just looked up the battery replacement procedure, and it is not horrible for something you want to do once after 4 years.
