    I paid under $150 for this phone and am very satisfied. It does most things that a very expensive phone does. If were to loose it, I would not be as stressed as if it were a $700 phone! I think it does the job it is supposes to do and has a lot of fancy features. The large face is easy to see for someone who has failing eyesight.

    I have a flagship phone (Galaxy S5). I bought this phone for my 11 year old son. It's a decent mid range phone and has enough power for all his games. Pro - good value for the cost Con - low end camera

    Lets be real. Almost all smart phone users really only use a handful of apps. If this is you - then this is the phone for you. Great battery life, great display, 16GB, and only $130ish dollars! I couldn't believe it. This is my primary phone, not a back up. No reason to pay between $500 and $1,000 when you can buy this gem.

    This is my first Android phone and I Love it. It is easy to set up and understand. It has a very powerful battery that lasts a long time without needing charged. Since it is Unlocked, I just change the Sim Card when I travel to different Countries and it works here in Brazil with no problems. I highly recommend it.

    This phone is a replacement for a flip phone for wifey. I need an Android which would be easy to coach with less complications. This phone is a right choice and is exactly what she needed.

    This phone was purchased to replace an older non smart phone. It is a good phone with many features of a more expensive smart phone. Quality has been good so far. Battery life is average.

    I call this a downgraded version of the S-Series. Got them for my parents since they didn't want anything too fancy. I loved it and they loved it as well. Easy to use. I'm with the Samsung bandwagon and I don't think I've ever been disappointed with their products (at least not yet).

    No NFC!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Samsung is a major NFC adopter and has bragged about how they use it to trigger bike mode on the J3. Unfortunately, Samsung releases 37 varieties of each model and this one doesn't include NFC. It also doesn't have a light sensor, but the Velis Auto Brightness app allows substituting the camera. The battery was impressive and I liked the one-handed mode, but since I specifically wanted NFC this phone is now my son's and I have a Motorola Moto X. Good, well-priced phone, but hard to get reliable information on it when I bought it

    Phone speed is not great. It can be used as a backup phone just in case your main phone doesn't work.

    This is my first smartphone, I purchased the Samsung - Galaxy J3 because it's unlocked and reasonably priced so I didn't have to sign a contract. I find it easy to operate and so far it suite's all my needs in a smartphone. I'm very happy with my choice and the quality of the phone.
