    All prepaid phones are not created equal. Samsung J3 is the only device providing the best bang for your prepaid bucks. It over delivers on all features and delivers a very satisfying end user experience on Boost Mobile. Buy a J3 and start enjoying a full android experience without going broke.

    If you're looking for a phone for basic use this is a good phone for that but if you need a phone with all the bells and whistles then get an iPhone or a Galaxy 8

    The perfect upgrade for my coworker whose phone malfunctioned and later died. Thought the transition to a new phone would be difficult but the J3 is user friendly and similar to the previous (Samsung) model.

    My Nokia was having serious issues and I really like Android's so the Samsung was recommended for me and it is just perfect. I refuse to pay $1.000 for an iPhone. While they may be great it isn't my life and I just needed something more simple to use.

    So far so good. They make mention of poor battery life but I have yet to encounter such an issue. The display is bright and crisp. The screen/phone, architecturally, is also very accommodating to the hand

    This is a quick phone to use for a few months until you can get a newer model. I got it on sale and it worked for a while before freezing up.

    NO issues with the phone. Don't like that they changed the charging port again so now i have to either carry the chord or the adapter. Otherwise a great product.

    Otterbox is my go to case. All phones I've owned had an Otterbox case and I've never had a cracked screen up until my last phone. I decided I didn't want to dish out the extra cash and low and behold, I break my phone. Should've got an Otterbox.

    The phone worked and supported all that I needed. The battery life wasn't the best, though. Would definitely recommend buying a memory card/external charger for this phone.
