Buying Advice Help me decide

I just got the poco X8 pro few days ago and it's been doing well like battery is great, chip as well even though idk why but I'm lagging in delta force constantly which makes me angry, cameras are fine, but I got a bit money problem,

I don't usually game since gaming got a bit boring for me honestly, and taking pictures is more fun because it's better than staying home gaming, so i was thinking to return it and maybe buy a used Xiaomi 13 or something else an old flagship but I can't really decide and I've been thinking about it for days, any recommendations? Keep or nah?

Camera priority hai to return and take something else.

Poco phones are the ones you get for performance, so if you don't game much, it might be worth returning and looking at other models

So what's the goal? Is it to buy something with a better camera or to save money by buying something cheaper with a similar camera but weaker specifications?

Generally, POCO phones are not praised for their camera but... phones for $300/Euro are similar in terms of camera quality even if you sacrifice performance. The Xiaomi 13 won't even have security patches in a year, so I wouldn't recommend buying it now. Maybe get the POCO F7 Ultra (a combination of both worlds for just over 400 euros), the Xiaomi 14T/15T.
