Hi @Terry2uk
Samsung along with some other manufacturers have made the decision to not include a charging brick to help cut down their carbon footprint, and the instances that many already have viable charging bricks , use wireless charging or use a computer, laptop to charge up.
Best practice is to carefully look at any available small print to what's in the box and look at info on the net to what the phone has with it.
I appreciate not all do and that's why Samsung Uk provide a 14 day cooling off period if a person isn't happy in anyway with their purchase. A person not in the uk would need to check their regions own Terms and Conditions.
Those that cannot utilise the above options for charging can find charging bricks available at a wide variety of outlets.
Please ensure you buy / use one that is either a Samsung original or one that is clearly compatible and safe to use. Samsung advise to use a real Samsung version.
In regards to dual sim and sd card options I've known a person decide to use 1 sim card and the esim [ if this is available for the phone model purchased , which unfortunately i don't think yours has ] and then can use a sd card.
Other than that the other route is online vaults instead of using a sd card.
I'm sure your aware of this but felt it relevant to mention incase any others are searching for help and advice and come across this thread.
I hope you enjoy your new phone 👍
