I wanted to upgrade from my flip phone and was looking for an unlocked smartphone. The Samsung J3 was the right size for the right price. Easy to use. I don't know why I waited so long.

Purchased for my wife. She likes the phone and the fact that it's unlocked. Great pickup and great price. Purchased the otter box commuter case and a screen shield and she's all set.

Needed a new T Mobile phone, but at the T Mobile store, all they had were older phones that were not even as good as my 2+ year old phone for a reasonable price, or newer phones that were $400 or more. Nothing in a mid range that was at least as good as I had for a mid-range price. We went to Best Buy and they offered us an unlocked phone, better speed and a few more bells and whistles for about $250. Perfect solution.

I used this as a backup device when my phone broke and I didn't expect it to have many features, but to my surprise it was very versatile as well as user friendly.

Simple, easy to use and very wallet friendly Samsung. I have had the Samsung Galaxy S-Series phones for years, but saw this and gave it a try since the price was to low to pass up. Doesn't have all of the bells and whistles of the Galxy S's, but if all you need is phone, internet, text, email...etc, this could be the phone for you. The one criticism is that headphones weren't included.

The phone consists of mostly everything someone needs. Apps are available. It's a great phone and not to expensive. Front and back camera are acceptable

Big enough to manage the touchscreen while still small enough to fit comfortably in my hand. Surprisingly durable for such a thin phone. Definitely recommend a silicone cover to keep it from slipping out of your hand or off any smooth surfaces, especially because it is so thin and light. Battery lasts all day, longer with careful app management, which is easily done as this phone is very user friendly. Sound is clear on phone calls and speakerphone. I don't know anything about camera quality but I'm really happy with the pictures I've taken with this one.

A phone that is very capable for for the price. I got it for my son thinking it would be an obvious simple basic phone. I have been impressed to the point that I now will rethink spending money on high priced latest model phones.This phone has all the features my phone galaxy s7 has, that I actually use. Minus the stuff only the biggest tech person might use.

Overall best cellphone with Samsung brand & only $150 price (cheap = less camera resolution); One problem: screen not turned off automatically when power connected (maybe defected? Will stop by Best Buy)

I baught the galaxy sol which by the way is the same phone just different name because cricket likes changing the names but the model is j3az but what it lacked was memory. I loved this phone way better just cause i can finally download apps because it has 16gbwhile the galaxy sol had 8gb and the default apps and system took 7gb and the j3a is unlocked and doesnt have the company apps and unecesary apps. So the system only uses 5-6 gb memory leaving about 10gb left. While the sol left 1gb inwhich it lagged if i used the internal memory.

I was looking for an unlocked phone to set up service to use, since Best Buy didn't really have much selection I decided on this Samsung J3 phone, it is similar to the Samsung S5 phone but much more expensive compare to online price. Overall everything works just like the Samsung S5.
