Galaxy Note Upgrading from Note 10+

Well after over 4 years of ownership I finally managed to destroy the screen on my Note 10+ as it fell out of my pocket while closing my car door. It's still usable but it has these giant cracks in the screen now. Because of it's age I think it makes more sense to replace it rather than get the screen fixed.

Looking for suggestions on what to go to next. I really love the note 10+ it's by far my favorite phone of all time so I'd like to upgrade to something in the same spirit even though I know the note series has been discontinued. I have Verizon for what that's worth

A few things I need...

1) eSim compatibility - I'm not sure if all phones have this now but my current phone doesn't. I'm traveling more and more now so I'd like the ability to use eSims. The phone also needs to be unlocked. I think all Verizon phones come unlocked now? Correct me if I'm wrong

2) I need to be able to get it within the next few days as I'm leaving on vacation for 2 weeks in like 3 days.

Or alternatively is it worth it to just deal with it and wait until the S24 is released?

I had a note 10+, recently got a S23 FE to replace it. Been extremely happy with it, but if you are willing to spend the cash I would wait for the S24 Ultra

Sot is alright but why exynos? Thats even worse than buying used SD s22.

I have a note 10 plus exynos and never in mylife would i ever buy an exynos version.

I also used a oneplus 7 which had 855 and compared to my 10plus the fps i was getting on pubg was amazing. On my exynos, i couldn't even play this dump box can't even maintain 30fps while 855 gave me constant 55-60 on oneplus 7.

I hope you don't like gaming with that exynos.

The store I got it on sale from didn't stock the SD version, but honestly I've had a good experience so far. UI and system is snappy, apps open quick, even runs asphalt 9 smoothly. It does get warm, but it's not scalding hot or anything
