    This phone was bought for my mother. It replaced a Galaxy S7 and seems to be a decent, yet slightly slower replacement. It will get new software updates longer then the S7, so that benefits us. So far we are very happy. Wish it had fast charge though.

    I am just getting to know my Galaxy, but I like it very much. The phone is easy to use and the volume control gives me plenty of ability to hear well, even without my hearing aids in use. My daughter has a Galaxy and recommended it to me.

    I really like this phone, but it's processing speed is a little slow for mobile data or WiFi. If you want to have a smart phone, but don't want to spend over 300 dollars then this the phone for you

    Very pleased with the Galaxy Samsung J3. It keeps good charge for about 3 to 4 days and is just the right size. Used to have a lg phone but the samsung galaxy is the best.

    This is my first smart phone so am still trying to get used to it. The battery life is outstanding and calls and texts are working well so far. I have not used the camera yet but I don't expect to take many pictures anyway. The price was outstanding, so I would definitely recommend this phone to someone who wants an inexpensive smart phone, and doesn't need the newest/best product. Also, the alarm works well which is important to me.

    My 12 year old finally got his first phone & loves this one! It's a simple, inexpensive smartphone! He can play games, text friends, call us or his distant family & listen to music. He sends emails to teachers, family. He has the web for inquires & school work. * I used family link app to set Google controls, etc. Perfect first phone!

    We bought this as an upgrade for my MIL and she loves it. She likes that it's big enough for her to see and hold onto (compared to her older phone).

    My wife got this as a replacement for the 2016 J3. So far, she seems very happy with it. It is on par with previous Galaxy phones, and is a good value compared to the more expensive devices.
