The a35 is good, and is likely the last of the "good" Samsung a-series phones with an SD slot. The a36 and a56 don't have them.
I got the previous (nearly identical) a54 deal and was very happy with it. The two phones are architecturally almost identical (same processors and ram). It's not a speed demon, but is fast enough to do all "normal" stuff, like social media, email, phone, etc... without any real performance problems. Maybe a gamer would be disappointed with it, and it will be getting OneUI 7 very, very soon.
Porting in a number is a hassle -- if you don't already have a phone number.
The whole ID verification is just...how do the kids say it nowadays...."totes wack".
No idea how they're storing your image and credentials -- or who has access to them -- or what the process is for them to expunge that data -- or who is ensuring they're following best practices.
Oh who am I kidding, your DL and image are being sold to the highest bidder. We all know that.

Does anyone know if buying a $30 refill for the 15GB Data Plan (the cheapest option?) would satisfy the new "60 days of paid active service" policy, instead of having to buy one of their phone plans for $40 or $55?
It won't add to your current plan - it will replace it, and any time left on the old plan will be lost.

I did and it took a whole lotta time with support and a BBB report to fix it.

I received and activated the phone on 04/09(late evening, say 10pm), and my current plan shows "Renew your plan by 05/09". When should I top up with this $25 TW plan from Walmart? Can I do it on 05/10? or 05/09 after 10pm? I worry about I end up with 59-day paid service instead of 60-day for unlocking, if I top up sooner; or if I do it on 05/10, I may risk losing the number and impacting unlocking as well. This is a really tricky situation to be dealt with to ensure the 60-day requirement. What exactly did you do to guarantee unlocking?
Thanks!
