So it got even bigger, they removed the beloved headphone jack and kept everything else basically the same? Even the same crappy G99? Man... I guess 6 years updates is nice, but even then this is a very, very mediocre "upgrade".

I could be wrong, but didn't previous generation of Samsung A series phones come with eMMC storage. I think this has UFS 2.2, so slight increase there as well.
But I agree that overall it's an incremental upgrade only. And base model of 4GB RAM might not hold in the long term. I had/have an entry level Samsung phone(A05 I guess), but that stutters much
Sadly the storage upgrade isn't gonna justify the total package here. These specs are really not going to live up to the promised 6 years. I think Scamsung just used the "6 years" as a slogan, where they can get away with selling bad hardware they have too much left off.
Still waiting for Samsung's delivery on their promise of OneUI 6 for the A13 5G.
