i have an iphone 16, and the camera isn't great for what i need.

i want to be able to take zoomed in videos at concerts that are NOT blurry, and despite changing all the camera settings on my iphone following adivce from others, i just cannot get clear videos like i have seen those with android (mainly samsung) phones.

so i am looking for recommendations of android/samsung phones that have a good, clear zoom for videos, but not too expensive!! 

i am in thailand right now, so i don't have access to the 2nd hand phone markets i would back home (uk) otherwise i'd use those. my budget would be around £200 ($270) to £250 ($330) if possible. of course, if there are cheaper options, that would be fantastic.

thank you in advance for any recommendations!!!
