UFS 2.2 and 6yr software support, how can it sustain that long

For 450 dollars this is a terrible value. Really looked forward to the Snapdragon 6 only to see removal of microSD and no improvement over last year's A54.

At least now I have an excuse to go back to flagships thanks to the removal of sd slots
