Lag while playing Minecraft on android phone

Since the last three updates, Minecraft has been experiencing a lot of lag. When walking, running, flying and turning, the game has delays, causing the image to freeze and stutter. This also applies to driving a minecart and scrolling through your inventory.

I've been playing Minecraft on an Android phone for a number of years and have never had this problem. I don't think it's my phone (Samsung A52s 6GB/128GB) as it is quite new and I have been playing Minecraft on this phone for several months without any problems.
