Awesome phone! I've had several comparable Samsung phones and this is by far the best one yet. It has a great camera, plenty of memory and extra settings you'd find on the expensive Samsung Galaxy's. It has wifi calling that actually works with prepaid phones (I've had others but they never worked), it can have a split screen and has gesture settings to name a few.
The back and battery are removable, it takes the nano sim card and can take a SD card to expand memory.
I ordered mine unactivated and just inserted my sim card from my old phone and it set itself up with my existing prepaid number and all my account info. I didn't have to do anything.
When I bought it the site did not show pictures of the back so I wasn't sure if the case I chose was the correct type, so for anyone buying this phone the flash and camera are in line on top of each other and not side by side like other Samsung's like this.
I even received the phone very fast, got it in one day! I highly recommend this phone! I will include some pictures, even though the screen may need cleaning! (Mine has a case and screen protector on in the pictures of the front)

Where can you get a Samsung phone on sale for $59. It’s better than the other android att prepaid phones. I’d take a Samsung phone over an Android any day! Very good quality! Also I have a CeLL phone line already so I just take my phone to my local store they put an sd card in it and I walk out already on a plan with a paid off phone . It DOESNT have to be on a prepaid acct. I have a family plan with 4 lines I just added it to my already existing line and swapped the broken phone. Good phone in case you ever break your expensive iphone.

I ended up getting this phone because my zte grand x4 phone got broken. I had the samsung galaxy express prime for a while then something happened to that too. I would say this phone is for a person that wants the space, can take decent pictures and for someone who doesn't want to spend a whole ton just for a phone. If you want a 13 mp camera or greater you'll have to look for another phone. I haven't tried to take a picture on this yet but I'm planning to soon.
What I like:
- If you used another phone before and your transfer it over all the wifi passwords will be saved so you don't need to put it in.
- Animated gifs for a profile picture for contacts and status.
- Themes and yes they have free themes if you don't want to pay money just search free in the search bar.
- You get android oreo.
- You actually get updates for your phone.
- Able to block people after you hang up if it's a telemarketer or that annoying friend you actually hate with a burning passion.
What I don't like:
- I bought another phone for 80 dollars and got a 13 mp camera and a fingerprint reader.
The pros outweigh the cons really.

It works well for what I do. I am on my phone all day for work and battery last most of the day, it's easy for someone like me who doesn't know much about electronics to use,the camera takes good pictures, seems to have a lot of storage,for what I do, it's easy to learn special features it has,and I would recommend it for the price.

This is my first smartphone. I've had it about two weeks. My learning curve is steep, so I have not learned even some of the basic functions yet. But I do like it a lot. Voices are clear. Photos look good to me and I have learned to send them by message to friends. The battery life is very good and I only use about 25% of the battery each day. Occasionally, I get stuck in a screen and don't know what to do. I'm just not familiar enough with the functions to know where to look. So I go on the internet and ask a question on how to do something. I can then achieve my goals. But I didn't even know how to answer the phone when it rang. I kept trying to just touch the screen and nothing happened. I had to ask someone how to answer the phone. I didn't know what swiping was. I think this is a good phone for me to learn on. Also it was not too expensive for me and gives me more than enough functions to keep up with technology.

This phone has been a huge improvement over the previous Galaxy J3 Prime phones. Decent camera front and back with powerful flash. It also had double the hard drive storage than its closest competitor. Battery life is also terrific. As of yesterday, 8 months after ownership, it seems to go into hibernation even with no applications running requiring me to plug it in (despite battery charged at 100%) and power down the phone to have the screen react to my inputs.

First New Android cell phone I've ever purchased

I like to start by saying, this is my first and only new Android cell phone I've ever purchased. So, with that said, everything with this phone is good. I'm still learning all the functionalities because my last cell phone was over 10 yrs old and all I did was place calls, send texts and took pictures. I haven't even listened to music yet to see how the speakers sound. What I do know is that Samsung makes a good product as my last cell phone was the Samsung tundra flip phone and that phone was durable and lasted a long time. so, as I come of age again with new technology, learning with Samsung (that won't require a new phone every yr), will be enjoyable. Oh, I did choose this cell phone for starters on 3 points based on (written, YouTube, & product comparisons) reviews, 1. good camera ( front & rear), 2. good brand recognition, and 3. price, on sales for less that $100. As I learn the other basic functionalities of this cell phone, this will add to enjoying this phone more and more.

This phone is amazing for a cheap temporary or even long term phone. It comes with amazing features like Dolby Atmos, loud sound, android 8.0.0, and bixby. I highly recommend this if your looking for something cheap. For the tech people, i got a benchmark score of 45,448 on antutu which is not bad for the price. I have a more expensive phone that i had problems with and it benchmark about 39,000

Of course I did not read the directions. This was easy to configure and figure out. The few things that were beyond me I googled. I bought this for the family plan, I am used to iPhones. When my kid did not use this, I wiped it and set it up as a spare. Battery life is comparable. Screen is as well. It is a bit slower. I don’t game much, but a little. The speed difference is not too noticeable.

I got this phone to replace an older version. The setup was as easy as swapping the SIM card (and SD card) and then restoring contacts from my gmail account. There is also an app to transfer all of the previously installed apps and data. Has the latest version of android, lots of improved features.

Works great, takes great pics, videos with great sound. Works well, better than my last one which was the first express prime. Had it for 2 1/2 years. It has great features for easy use, great for a budget phone. Absolutely beyond happy with it.
