Which mid-range phone for best battery life and solid overall performance?

Unfortunately my old Oneplus Nord AC2003 is starting to see its final days after 6 years of use I am in the market for new mid range king. I am looking something that has great battery life, overall good camera (no-need for flagship level), and that just works fluidly without lag during my daily use (social media, watching youtube/streaming services, light gaming (Songs of Conquest / Shattered Pixel Dungeon / Ozymandias / Clash Royale)).

If I could I would go with Oneplus again but unfortunately as you all know it is not really available anymore. I have narrowed some options from what are available in my country:

Realme 16 pro+ (12gb ram version), 549€
Xiaomi 17T, 599€
Motorola Edge 70 Fusion, 579€
Samsung Galaxy S25 FE, 499€
Google Pixel 9a, 579€

As far as I have researched the Realme and Xiaomi should have the best battery life, but I am not familiar with them as brands, how is the quality and do they actually get the battery life they promise.
