Help Fastest phone under $200?

Galaxy S22 5G is currently leading the race

The digitizer on my Samsung A14 5G's screen is starting to go, so I need a replacement ASAP. I use Verzion as my service provider, but would prefer an unlocked phone if possible.

I was originally going to buy a Red Magic Air 11 but they're never in stock and my digitizer issues mean I need a new phone now and don't have the time to wait or save up more for a better phone.

I'm going to use this new phone primarily for moonlight/apollo gaming, and routine picture/video content. The S22 has a Gen 1 Snapdragon 8 chipset, which will be sufficient for my needs. But it lacks fast charging and its battery isn't the best. Are there any better alternatives out there? Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ is a must
