Customers are saying

Customers commend the Galaxy J3 Emerge 16GB for its ease of use, great price, and decent camera quality. Many appreciate its good battery life and satisfactory performance for everyday tasks. Positive feedback also highlights the phone's size and the option to expand its memory. A minor drawback mentioned by some users is the limited internal storage.

    I broke my old phone so I needed something affordable. This phone has all the features I need for communication, playing a couple games and Internet browsing. Samsung is a brand that I can rely on.

    i wanted an easy to use phone. I didn't need all the bells and whistles nor the cost associated with it. This phone is great for the money. Easy to use, nice clarity and a decent camera. I liked it so much we bought one for my husband.

    Bought for mother in law who didn't want a phablet to carry. Small but decent screen size for basic app use and of course phone use. Certainly much more affordable than the premier phones like the Galaxy line.

    I love the high quality Samsung puts into their phones! I had to switch carriers, and this is the cheapest phone you can get for Sprint. The only drawback, complaint I have is the storage. I went from 64GB on my Galaxy S6, to 16GB on this. With my pics I transferred over, I can only have a bare minimum amount of apps added. I wish I would've realized, or known that prior to my purchase. I would have gotten a phone with more GB. That's the only thing that wasn't explained to me.

    My daughter got a working smart phone this year, so that she wouldn't fight with her sister on long trips in the car for vacations. She is able to play her games, and watch her shows. She doesn't make many calls, and barely knows how to text. But I think when she is ready too, watch out. I'm fairly impress with this smartphone. I think it is better than my S3 that I had 3 generations ago. Feels a lot better than most free phones, or pay as you go phones.

    Got this phone for my daughters first phone. It definitely fit the budget, and is very surprisingly well built. We haven’t had a single issue with it, yet. I highly recommend this phone. I just wish it was easier to find cases for.

    I bought this phone for my son. At first I was going to go with a traditional flip phone, but realized that with parental controls and smartphone technology, this phone was the best deal for the money! It gives my son the capabilities of doing everything we do on our phones yet with a lesser cost to us plus I love the parental controls to see what he is doing when I need to or even when I dont. I like the idea of a good value phone for an inexpensive cost plus modern day tecnology that I can keep an eye on from my own phone.

    This is a great first phone for the kids, its simple and looks good but the selection of cases is limited. Also, be aware that there are several versions of the J3 out there and the cases are not interchangeable. We found out the hard way when we ordered cases for the J3 then returned them at an expense greater than the original purchase! The screen protector doesn't fit well with the case.
