What's selling me is the baked-in app cloning support for all apps, and the icon theming to help with distractions

I know the hardware is lacking a bit, but if I'm not looking to game hard-core, are there other necessary features Nothing is missing compared to other androids?

A friend of mine borrowed me his old iPhone for my, recent trips to Canada and South Korea. Both times I was able to get, install and activate travel eSIM cards without any problems.
What's your current phone? Maybe there's a vast difference in eSiM experience between iPhone and Android phones?

But as you mentioned not traveling much you probably don't mind having no eSIM support.
