Galaxy A36 5G
Great service as I'm using through Mint Mobile. Wonderful pictures. At the bottom of my screen and down to the outer edge by the microphone; I see a very thin slot along the right side that looks to be 3/8" long. What is that?

Response from argos:
Hi Trev. The items included within the box with your device are a reflection of Samsung's commitment to the environment. Samsung found that the large majority of users were re-using their plugs, so in the effort to reduce e-waste, Samsung decided to include only a new cable, so that users could still refresh their charger. To prepare for your new phone, Samsung recommend checking out the 'What's in the box?' section of the purchase page. If your phone did not have a cable included, please reach out to Argos Support, who will be happy to take a look into this for you. Enjoy your A36 5G!

Great Features
It’s reasonably easy to use, although trying to find out how to use it took some time as I needed to find the buried info on the phone itself. Only just discovered after three months why the photos I took wouldn’t appear as it was on the wrong setting. Phone is stylish a good price quick to charge up and overall very pleased with it.
