    Purchased this cell for my grandsons 9th birthday. He loves it! I wasn't sure if the 16GB would be enough memory but he has all his favorite games/apps installed and no complaints. I was able to get it onto my T-Mobile account with no issues. Just took it into one of their stores and they had us connected in no time. At such a young age, I didn't want to buy an expensive phone for him. The price, size and capability is perfect for a kid/teen.

    I recently visited 3 countries in Asia and this phone worked just fine. Signal pickup was okay, battery life lasted >24hours with regular use. Takes decent pictures, screen display is about average. Not at all bad for the price I paid for.

    Coming from using a Galaxy S4, the Galaxy J3 is not bad. I was looking for the least expensive Galaxy I could find. There are some features I really like on the phone that were not on my S4, but there are also a lot of features that were on my S4 that are not on the J3. That's okay though. I hardly used those features. (Smart Stay, Air Gesture, S Beam, etc.) I do miss the Multi Window feature though, but this is a lower priced phone so I guess Samsung had to remove some features. Overall this phone is exactly what I need.

    If you're looking for the latest hottest Smart phone, don't buy this - you'll hate it. If you're looking to surf Facebook, check some emails, or get your kids a phone that doesnt cost $1000 - this phone is perfect. I bought this phone as a spare phone for traveling and a just in case and it does the job I need it to do. Definitely recommend this depending on your needs.

    To be able to purchase a phone for a fair price that does not sacrifice features is great! To be able to use that phone with any carrier who chooses to offer a fair price for their network is priceless! This phone does not sacrifice features or come with a large price tag. Hopefully more phone manufacturers will follow this same idea

    This phone was a replacement for my mom's old Samsung phone that did not recharge anymore. I was looking for an inexpensive unlocked smart phone. We put in her T-Mobile SIM card and easily set up this new phone.

    I wanted an ordinary smartphone that works well and runs Google apps. This one fit the bill perfectly, and for under $200. It's nothing fancy, but I wanted a Droid phone that works like a Droid phone is supposed to work. I am perfectly happy with it. One caution - it does not connect perfectly with the Bluetooth in my 2012 Honda Civic, but I think I have to blame the car for that. I've had 3 phones. This one connects best, but still not perfectly.

    A pared down version of the Galaxy S. Missing some features but perfect for someone who just needs to use email, call, text and surf the web. Seems like it's 50% of the S at 1/4 the price.
