A non exynos soc, screen with no PWM & a user removable battery. This may be an ideal phone if the price is right.

It has a headphone jack! I wonder if it supports fm radio?

It does not.

It also doesn't have a fingerprint unlock which is a rather weird omission.

If you're not dead set on a removable battery, the Sony Xperia 10 V has sightly better specs for slightly less money and it's smaller and lighter.

Probably targeted for construction or similar working environment where gloves are commonly used.

Yeah i have an s21 and never use the fingerprint feature because of this.

I am in tnt market for a new phone though because this one is all but destroyed now. I don't even have glass on the top right of the screen

If you like this phone then check out the OnePlus n30. No PWM, has headphone jack, SD card slot, 8 gb ram, and lots more. No removable battery, but it comes with super fast charging.
