Backs up everything from Texts to Contacts and everything else. It is a two way sync so whenever I buy new phones, all I have to do is sync the new phone. Copying by tethered USB is not a sync. I can do backups of text and phone calls (SMS stuff) to Google. As for over priced, I pay under $200 for my phones and I don't know how you could get much cheaper. My last Samsung was a tank. I dropped that thing so many times I can't count. Still have it and it still works, just too old of an OS.
Do you want to back up just data (files, pictures, passwords etc.) or do you want to back up the whole operating system?
If just data then using Google is by far the most popular method from an Android phone. It's been a few phones since I had an overpriced Samsung but I seem to recall that Samsung had some app, pre-installed on the phone, that would also do backups, maybe to their cloud.
As well as Google, these days I use KDE Connect for manual file access to my phone via usb or wifi. I also use Syncthing to create mirrors, on the PC, of specific folders on the phone. I haven't tried, but I'd imagine that if you can mount the phone on the PC then various backup applications could also perform your backups.
