My phone died 3 months before the Samsung S8 came to market and I didn't want to spend too much on a phone to hold me over. This phone did the trick... It is by no means in the same league as the S8 but it covers the bare necessities until the S8 is available.

I don't have a data plan for my cell phone, as I already have a desktop, a laptop and a Ipad at home as well as a desktop at work... so rare to need all the whistles and bells. This replaces my 2 year old Moto 3 (3 Gen }, a worthless phone that had issues with charging .. plug it in and it depletes the charge. I decided it was time to get a new phone, nothing, but unlocked for T-Mo --- easier to use than the Moto G ,, everything transferred over to new phone. Happy with it ...

I've had this phone now for about a month and I think I can now write a review. I have had a lot of phones over the course of my adult life starting with the brand Nokia, then LG, Motorola and now my first Samsung. The Samsung Galaxy J3 is may be first Samsung phone yet I LOVE IT, possibly more than all my previous phone put together!
What I like about this phone is the size and sleekness of the design. I wouldn't say it's girly because it's not, however, it can be girly. By that I mean I have the option to change the font style to a more feminine one, which I was unable on the Motorola G, my last phone. And I like that. Apps are easy to download and the phone is Google product connected at the jump. Searching on line is a breeze. And downloading videos to it have been easy to find once downloaded.
The camera is mostly simple to use with the modes Auto, Pro, Panorama, Continuous shot, Beauty Face, Sound and Shot and Sports. I have yet to really explore the modes but the times I have used the camera on auto there has been no problems
A feature I REALLY like is the Outdoor brightness button.You know how it can be hard to see your screen when you are outside? Samsung fixed that. Next to the contrast brightness slider there is a box for outdoor that brightens your screen perfectly for the outdoors. Perfect!
The phone comes with 16 GB memory space but you can also add additional storage which is a HUGE plus for me. Inserting my T-mobile sim card and SD storage card was simple and easy. Another plus about this phone, in my opinion, when my battery dies I can replace it myself, the back is removable and you can pull the battery out and replace it when needed. That is not something that can be done with iPhones or some Android phones.
Overall I am super happy with this phone and I hope we have a long and happy life together!

I purchased this unlocked phone for my daughter who is studying abroad. She loves it. Great deal cute phone slim name brand and just what she needs without the large price tag. The alternative would have been an off brand that no one ever heard of. Her classmates know the brand name and I save a lot of money

I bought this phone to be sent overseas since it was unlocked and on sale. They owner is very happy with the phone and it is one of Samsung non flagship phone and being unlocked can work in other countries. If you are looking for a phone to use overseas this it. It is GSM and compatible with most countries.

Does everything one could reasonably need at less than half the price of the flagship phones. Unless you're a kid looking to play lots of games and editing videos, you won't need anything else. With Drive and Docs, I can even review, edit, even initiate work documents. This phone set me free.
