    The phone is great. There's nothing wrong with it. The wait to get help to purchase the phone was ridiculous. Almost a 2 hour wait. The clerk put the screen protector on my phone. After he got it on the phone he saw a tab on the protector so he struggled with the tab to rip it off. By ripping it off he left the screen protector with little to be desired and with many air bubbles. He appeared not to see anything wrong with how he applied the protector. Worst protector I've ever had on a phone. The whole process of waiting than buying the phone was 3hrs 20min. Unacceptable.

    A great phone for those of us that won't spend the $800.00 on the other Samsung phones! Great move Samsung for making a more affordable phone. My daughter also has this phone and has dropped it several times and it's still going strong. It would be nice if "Otter" would make a case that fits it!

    I purchased this phone for my teenage son and he loves it. It's a great smart phone for less than half the price of other phones with the same features.

    The camera is amazing, but the phone is slow and lacks so many hidden, useful features that the Galaxy S4 carries.

    A really nice Samsung smartphone, with a great big screen - makes it a little too large to fit in a front pocket.

    I upgraded from the J3 because it felt slow and sluggish. The j7 hasn't had the same issues much to my relief.

    After reading the specs on new tablets and phones ( i only use the tablet section of phones and use a per minute service for phones on a flip phone so the phone modual is not needed for my uses) this phone stands out above the others by far! It compares to the Samsung s6 in many ways and is much less expensive. I use these phones because Samsung used to make a small tablet called a PMP (personal music player that was a striped out cell phone) in a 5 inch display that was every thing these tablet phones have except the re was no phone modual and I like the concept and mine got wet and needed to be replaced. After best buy replacing the Samsung 5 pmp with only a tablet in the same price range, it made it very hard to keep nearby. I preferred to carry in my pocket, so I started looking into their pay as you go phones instead to have a every day carry device like the Samsung 5 pmp was. I have been using the Samsung s3 but it keeps locking up and destroying most of the data on the micro SD card and the navigon GPS app bugs out in part because of the the constant crashing. I wanted some thing better than the s3 and bought this j7 after buying my wife a virgin mobile j3 (no j7 for those users) and she likes it a lot compared to her older phone it replaced. This is a really nice phone and saves a lot of money even if you have to pay full price for it like I did. The 128gb micro sd card slot is a key factor as well as the 16gb (10gb user usable) internal memory and the huge upgrade is the 13 mp camera! The camera won't allow access to the external micro SD card tho and says since kit kat google won't allow this to happen ; ( I am guessing because of maybe all the lost data from that slot like my Samsung s3 had. It can be moved manually tho with es file explorer or on your computer, but is a disappointment non the less. Best Buy add claims this to be the 2016 version of this phone, but it not. The 2016 version has the speaker grill slots standing up and down instead of sideways like this phone has. It is false advertising and you do have to pay attention to this when buying a case for it. The USB cable is extra long and heavy duty and was a nice add-on/upgrade from Samsung being it is tethered to my PC when it is at home. The s3 would crash while plugged into my PC over and over every day. You could sit here and watch it happening. It wouldn't crash if it were turned off, but then you couldn't access the storage for files. The short USB cable was not a nice feature for it either. I think it's only 2 feet while the j7 USB cable is about 5 feet and white so it stands out amongst all the other cables here. The phone is much faster than the s3 and went from a 4.8 inch screen to a 5.5 inch screen and that seems giant now. I will be rooting it soon and there mods a plenty for it such as the speaker out put limitation Samsung put on it. Being able to turn off the unseeded apps that all use resources and battery is great too and control what app gets to to have access to privileged areas is always nice too. XDA Forums has it all if you like to control your hardware/software. The phone is a 5 star phone, but the memory access card limitation for the 13 mb of data used for each picture taken in it's highest quality and forced to fill up the internal memory card issue and being called a 2016 version when it's not (maybe for boost it's a 2016 version, but it is not a 2016 version j7 phone), gets a 4 star rating here. It's a keeper tho and the best there is for the money at this time. The OS is the latest so you won't out grow it if you root it for a long time. The full name of the phone is called SM-J700P. It will bother you to active it when you first turn it on, but it will go away and keep a note in the home page wall paper that it isn't active. The s3 never did this either, it just always wanted to do an update to the os instead. I wish Samsung would make the PMP type devices again so we aren't paying for moduals we don't need, but it will do and better than a tablet that won't fit your pocket. Hope his helps some of you while shopping for an upgrade.

    I bought this because my phone broke, and best buy did not have the same, so i did some fast review research and got this. Not impressed at all!. I like how big it is when im watching something, but it is too big for everything else. The pictures stink!!!! I was so upset, i had an android years ago that took the best pictures, i thought this was going to be similiar.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
