Nope. Using a potato exynos SoC on my secondary device for the past 3.5 years, don't notice any lag apart from the usual 2-3s for apps to load. Ppl have a weird understanding of Exynos chips.
don't consider any samsung mobile with exynos soc. it will be a big headache after one year of use.

Samsung F14.

Recently launched, got one as a backup phone for home. Quite nice. LCD display, other than that, it is probably the best option.

Stock UI (technically not stock but what most people refer to) as in Moto is quite limited. Esp if one is coming from other UIs like MIUI or OneUI. Sammy One UI has improved dramatically.

You need to debloat the F14 a bit.

Skip the 10 pro and 11 prime. Realme uses the Google app for calling, so you'd be better off going with a moto for the same price. Poco X5 is uses MIUI as well, and is one of the more feature packed phone here.

Exynos and good-battery life does not go hand-in-hand. Hence, avoid any Exynos-oriented chipset (such as Samsung F14/A14/M14) like plague if your primary criteria is good battery life.

Instead, take a look at the Samsung F23 5G 6GB/128GB. Comes with a Snapdragon 750G chipset, so you can enjoy better battery life, thermals, and longevity, while also having one of best cameras under 20K INR. And yeah, Samsung phones do come with call-block feature from unsaved numbers.

When using Flipkart, click on GST Invoice during checkout. For Amazon, you need to make a separate business account to make business-related purchases.
