Have they listened to the consumer?

Nooo….. can't have done.

We're sick of being robbed, want our 3.5mm jack, don't need annoying wrap around screens which make it harder to hold the devices and make it more likely we'll drop them and shatter that expensive glass, fingerprint magnet casing. I wouldn't mind the hole in the screen sodding off as well, but I'll take what I can get. The only question with this phone is whether this or an older flagship would be better.

I second the above. I will not make the mistake of buying Samsung again.

The scree is of no use, the scene is activated by the hand you hold it with, as the edges of the screen curve around.

The battery is atrocious, after a few weeks you there is a noticable drop off in capacity.

Within months you're forced to charge several times a day with light to medium use

Commenters above: This is like the Galaxy S10e in that it doesn't have a wraparound screen.
Also, from pixel peeping, I think it does have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
For me it would attract if it also has; 4,000mAh battery or better, plus dual-SIM / micro-SD.

I've been amazed to see phones come out with no microSD card slot.

It's an absolute essential for me. Back ups, shifting very large videos off the main memory when on holiday / for editing on PC, setting up audiobooks on the PC and then just dropping it into the phone… loads of reasons aside from pure capacity.

It's for those reasons I invested in a 64GB double ended (USB A / USB C) memory stick.
