I bought this phone because it is unlocked and i could take it to foreign countries this summer. With this phone I did not have to worry about signing a contract with a company and I had peace of mind because I was always connected to friends and family.

I am very happy with the phone. For the price ($129) I think its got decent specs, phone is pretty fast. I didn't feel or see any sluggish behavior. Feels good in the hands and very light weight. Overall, I like the phone and would recommend to anyone.

Stepped up to a J3 because 1) l liked the size and look of the phone. The associate at Best Buy was awesome! He transferred ALL my data from my old phone to the new one too! 2) The speed of the phone is awesome! 3) Price was very affordable !

Disappointing Gift

I bought this phone for my daughter's birthday. It was the same phone her husband has and loves. It's been almost one month and she had already had problems with it. The screen got some kind of rainbow and froze and she was unable to use it when she needed to.
I wanted her to review this product so it could be more specific. She declined. It was a gift and she didn't want to speak negatively about it.
I can say (as the purchaser) that Best Buy delivered it within the estimated time so I was happy with that part. However, I wanted her to be happy with the phone and I'm not sure that's true.

It's the best unlocked phone but my son broke it in a month. I didn't take any protection. Will need to check out if Bestbuy helps me in anyway

If you do not want to invest in the Samsung Galaxy S8 .. go for the J3 ... about $130 and worth it .. good phone calls, wifi, texting (I don't have data so do not need a fancy phone) ... Good battery life. Am pleased with this phone

Battery got bloated

Somehow the battery expanded - we stopped using it because we are worried it will explode. Is there a warranty on the battery of this phone? It's been a year since we bought it.
