    Pure Android in a Slim & Trim Package

    Nice screen and snappy performance in a slim and trim package. Clean, uncluttered Android provides easy use, customization and Google synchronization. Minimal Samsung apps, but some, like Files are quite good and equivalent fancy Play Store apps can be uninstalled. But note - there is no accelerometer or magnetometer, so no compass or movement based features.

    Have some issues with call clarity. I can hear fine but not the person on the other end. Tends to be better if I call a landline. All other aspects of the phone are good. Samsung keyboard was not as friendly as Google's but that was easy to swap out. Overall, the phone is a good value and I would purchase it again. The activation with TracFone was seamless.

    I was looking for an unlocked HD screen smartphone for using common apps like to capture photos, what's app, video calling, internet surfing, maps and to watch videos. I am satisfied with the phone. Only area of improvement required in this phone is that the rear camera should be at least 8MP. Currently it is only 5MP. Rest all features are satisfactory.

    Wanting to upgrade my phone, I researched what was out there that was TRACFONE compatible. Best Buy was very helpful. It was their suggestion that I utilize TRACFONE's "Bring Your Own Phone Mini Activation Kit," which broadened the possibilities. Along with the kit (that only costs $1), I decided on an Unlocked Samsung - Galaxy J3 (2016) 4g LTE With 16GB Memory. I love it!
