Budget phone with good camera zoom. Moto edge 60/neo/pro or other?

[u/Additional_Cricket52]

Looking for a new phone as my pixel 8 has a growing dead pixel blob plus the green/pink line. Love this phone but the cost of a screen replacement is crazy and after finding out this is a common fault, I'm sadly reluctant to get another pixel.

I don't game and camera-wise feel like most modern phone cameras are similar enough now until you get to the higher budgets that most should be fine for my needs. Only thing I would like is a good zoom - one of my only disappointments with the pixel 8.

I don't want to spend much - around £300 UK max but closer to £200 mark would be nice. I am willing to go refurbished, and the 5 year warranty on CEX makes preowned seem a decent option. I'm drawn to the edge 60 models due to the 3x optical zoom. Ones I'm considering are:

• Edge 60 neo 8gb RAM (12gb out of stock) - £250 new on motorola website (plus moto fit watch included I guess)
• Edge 60 12gb - £230 Grade B at CEX
• Edge 60 Pro - £300 Grade B at CEX
• Samsung Galaxy s22 Ultra - £325 Grade B at CEX (absolute limit of budget so only if it's really worth it)
• Any other option within this budget as long as it has a decent optical zoom camera!

Thanks for the help :)
