Again, my experience only. Bought this phone for the wife in early April, right after it came out. Phone was very good, snappy, 5G, the wife was happy. Then late-October, she shows me that the battery is swelling and it's popped the back of the case open slightly. OK i think, it's under warranty, so i create a case with Samsung and send it off for free. All seems good with the world. Then Samsung care emails me saying that because of the damage, it'll be $79 dollars to repair. WTF, the battery is covered under warranty for 1 YR? Send some emails and finally am told that the battery is covered fully, but the plastic case back got damaged (cracked) from the swelling and that replacing that part is $79 as it is not under warranty. I told them I'm not paying them a cent since THEIR sh*t quality battery swelled up and broke the cheap plastic back. They of course disagreed, and I told them just send the d*mn thing back, they are not getting 1 more cent from me. Anyway, now i have a broken phone in a box lol.
Good news is that we had a spare phone, so no issue for the wife, and we actually got her a Pixel 6a from the Google Black Friday sale at a great price after trade in of an older Pixel 3aXL. Much better phone and she's happy.
So, thanks to the OP but I would avoid this phone only from my personal experience.
Take care all.

It's important to use search around black Friday and make deal alerts. They had $300 Sennheiser headphones for $97 (price mistake).
Btw, in the past, Samsung had sales on screen replacements for $50. When my old s9 spontaneously cracked after I saw the deal 😉 they were kind enough to replace the battery and back.
The cpus are nearly the same and the moto does better on games since game developers optimize for the 695 rather than the exynos this has. In addition the moto has 256gb and a headphone jack.
Only get this if you must get Samsung

In other words - at the end it is actually more expensive to try to get the $49 deal in the store, than just order it online for $99 (plus $10 tax).
