    got 2 of these phones, one for each of my children and they both love it. My daughter had a windows 7.8 phone still before this one and my son had an android, but it had very little memory so this one is better quality than both of those. The only snafu I have had with these phones are not the phones fault, one of the people who set it up for me put my son's account on a different plan than what we were on so I have to pay extra for the time it was on that plan for messaging and data usage. (which thank goodness I found out the next day and he doesn't go crazy on his phone).

    After having a flip phone for years I needed a phone that was tried and tested and that had plenty of good reviews on line about it's ease of use and reliability. I could of gone with a new top of the line phone but choice instead to go with a older model. And as far as price you had, hands down, the Best Price anywhere! Thank you!

    I bough this phone for an employee of mine. Its a descent phone with a really nice large screen. The battery life is ok. The camera is not that great but it is an inexpensive phone. Sound quality is good.

    Great 'Starter' Smart Phone!

    This Galaxy J3 is sort of a downgrade to the S5, but functionally it runs just as fast due to newer technology. Size is similar, and functions are similar. If you are looking for a decent 'starter' smart phone, this would be it!

    I bought this cellphone without a number and the company AT&T unlocked it as quickly as they could I'm really impressed about this and the product, for that price it was a great purchase!

    Great bang for your buck. My note 3 died and the next nots will be coming out so i purchased this for the mean time. Not a great camera, but it does everything I need. I may actually keep this and wait another year

    It is as amazing as I had read it would be. First phone where I have to turn down the brightness! I really enjoy using it with the gear vr also. Until I replace it with the new safe battery one, I charge it in a metal bowl, away from flamables, keeping it between 30 and 90 percent charged and monitoring its temperature frequently. I bet Samsung now wishes they'd gone with a replaceable battery.

    The J3 is a good phone for the price (paid $90). With the otter box case, the volume button sometimes gets pressed when I grip the device to press the power button. Audio quality is clear. Device supports all the Apps I need. "Okay google" voice recognition works well. Highly recommend if you are looking to get a decent phone without spending hundreds of dollars

    This phone is quite similar to the Galaxy S6 owned by my wife and one of my daughters, but is comparatively inexpensive. Serves all my needs well. Only drawback is the camera is not as good as the one on the S6.

    I am very pleased with this phone. This is the best low cost phone. You will not find a better phone for the money. 16 gig of internal memory is great for apps.

    My old Samsung 3 finally died and cracked so I was shopping for another phone when I saw this little beauty online and on sale. The memory is minimal, but I don't have a lot of apps, photos or videos. only using it, more or less, for calls and internet and text. Perfect for price! nice display and good battery life.

    I bought this phone for my boyfriend. He says it does everything he needs it to and it's a lot easier to get a hold of him now. The only complaint is with the front facing camera that's not quite clear enough to be happy with.

    Does everything a cell phone should do and that I want, and best of all at about 25% of the price of an Apple IPhone (which this replaces). I've bought other Samsung products and have never been disappointed with any of them.

    Purchased this phone for my son and at $150 out the door for a smart phone with great features, we are super happy. He has been using the phone for a bout a month and still loves it. Zero issues so far.

    Bought this for a 13 year old. She loves it! It's a simpler version of the galaxy s6 basically, but that's perfect for her! And the price was great at Best Buy.

    J3 was an alright phone for someone who's just starting out on a smart phone. It's more the bottom of the line phone though.
