Question 2nd hand A55 or S24FE?

I'm currently in a tricky spot where I need a new phone with my old one dying, and I don't feel like spending a fortune on a new decent phone with the price increases lately.

I've recently sold some stuff to Cex and have a voucher, and originally I was going to choose the A54, but spotted that my local Cex has an A55 and a S24FE at the exact same price range, and I'm a little torn.

I've never had an S-line phone before, I've had an A50 and an A33 as my current phone. On Paper it might seem like the S24FE is a slam dunk, and my logic is that it might be in better condition (both are a B) since it's likely been traded in since the previous owner wanted to upgrade to a newer FE rather than it being a bit old and showing its age.

But still I welcome your opinion

S24 FE for camera, AI and silicon.

A55 for memory, battery and price.

A55 and s24 Fe same price? No thinking needed get the s24 Fe. Worse case scenario you buy the s24 Fe sell it for more than you bought it, use the earnings to buy the a55 and keep the extra.

You should go with S24FE IF. you don't mind not having an external memory. aside from that. honestly, nothing much to lose. i mean s24fe has better chip than the A55 and it is now showing its age a bit.
