Believe it or not I've only just checked and yes there is a slot for a sd card. Could this be contributing to poor function of the phone as well?
The presence of the card slot itself wouldn't be affecting performance. However, if you put a card in it, you can use that as external storage (ie outside the onboard storage). There will be a setting on the camera app to save photos there (when it detects the card, it may even offer to set that for you). You can also use the card to store large files such as music - some download apps (eg Amazon Music) have a setting to do this directly, but you can also move files there by using the system file manager app you should find in thr app drawer (note that 3rd party file managers can't write to sd cards).
All operating systems manage working memory well and intervention isn't normally necessary. However, clearing recent apps occasionally can speed things up.
