No SD Card Slot and of course no headphone jack. Aluminum body and 8GB RAM. It's a very decent phone and it's a fair price. IP67 and has Gorilla Glass Victus+ in front and back. However CPU is slow. It uses Exynos 1580 and it's slower than an iPhone 11. An iPhone 13 almost double the CPU performance on benchmarks vs A56. Phone definitely lag. Just 33% faster than A36. You might be able to get a faster phone for the same amount of money. But if you need it right now, Unlocked, brand new and you love samsung, its a very decent deal.

The trouble with android devices is that they are so weak in performance because the manufacturers are trying to squeeze out the absolute maximum profit. iPhone is always going to be a better bang for buck even if you get an older model with less ram.
Dude what are you talking about? Everyone that owns an iPhone 15 and older are experiencing lag after the latest updates.

I have been trying to help a friend who has a brain injury and she struggles with android, and the big issue she struggles with is the constant changes that android does on updates, for the feel and look and lay out changes constantly.
It's amazing how an iPhone 6S from nine years ago feels remarkably the same as the current generation iPhone. Navigation is virtually the same. For someone with a brain injury who does not like constant changes and wants consistency, I cannot recommend android to someone like that. Just in the last year the messages app has changed drastically, and she has really struggled to learn to keep up with the changes.

Only Apple fans could say nothing changing in 10 years is a good thing.
Less than $300 in China gets you a phone (Redmi Turbo 4 Pro) with more RAM (12GB vs. 8GB), higher resolution screen, more powerful chipset (SD 8s Gen 4), much larger battery (7550 mAh vs. 5000), much faster charging (90W vs. 45W), newer storage standard (UFS 4.1 vs. 3.1), newer bluetooth (5.4 vs. 5.3), has a DAC, and higher dust/water resistance rating (IP68 vs. 67).
It's honestly quite incredible how awful Samsung phones are from a value perspective. Good thing there's no government disruption of the free market to actively keep out competition and subsequently keep prices high. 🙃

No one wants a China phone though.
