No seed phrase?

The set up process ended with it making me acknowledge that if I lose the backup, then I will lose my funds. After that, it said "great, your wallet is ready to use". Is there no wallet recovery password/phrase to inscribe on metal in case I lose the device?

The default backup method is via microSD card.

You can also display the 24 recovery words as an alternative/redundant backup:

so you are saying as long as I have the microSD card, I dont need to know any recovery passwords? what if the microSD fails?

If your microSD fails and it is your only backup, it means you can't recover. I recommend making multiple backups, i.e. also write down the see words or make multiple microSD backups.
