Looking for a good Android phone

I am thinking of upgrading my phone and am looking for recommendations.

It is still working very well (so I’ll probably give it or sell it) but is stuck on Android 9 (it was released with 7.1 and got 2 major versions as promised), lacks NFC which was already the thing which made me hesitate at the time, and I am looking at getting 5G.

I looked at the current generation (Mi A3) but it is already one year old, so it comes with Android 9 and will never get anything better than 11. Plus it still doesn’t have NFC (or 5G).

Looking at other Android One phones, I didn’t find a great one.

Motorola G Pro is also big and lacks 5G, in addition to being twice the price of the Nokia 5.3.

So, any suggestions of pure Android phones released recently or soon with 5G, dual sim, NFC, fingerprint reader, decent CPU, reasonable price and reasonable size?
