    This phone is perfect. Fast internet, clear calls, lots of internal memory for apps and pictures. Does everything a smart phone is suppose to do. And the price is great for those that want a wonderful smart phone without a giant price. I never understood what makes a phone so much better for hundreds of dollars more. My Galaxy J3 Emerge seems to function in all the same ways as my husbands Galaxy S7 Edge, but didn't cost almost $800 new.

    I love my Samsung phone. I only buy new phones as necessary. I replaced my 3 year old j3 with this j3 Emerge. The charge port had broken and the repair would cost more than what BestBuy sold the new one for. I am pleased. I was used to the earphone jack being on top though, but I like the quality of the camera too.

    This phone is a great smart phone. It has all the characteristics of a more expensive phone. It is a Samsung phone with buttons in familiar places and easy to use. It has all the basics of a smart phone and nothing more complicated. A great gift for someone going from a phone to a smart phone.

    This was the second Samsung phone I've had, and the best. The screen size is slightly bigger than the phones I had before. My last phone was an LG that I was not happy with all. It drowned, so I was looking for another Samsung, which I had before, though a smaller one.

    Very good budget phone. Great screen, pretty good battery and 16gb storage. Brightness has to be manual, speaker is a little weak and no led notification.

    I needed a larger phone with more memory due to increase in usage lately and so far this one seems to be enough to handle my desires. The phone has a better camera and takes good photo's. Due to increased capacity I've been able to install several more apps that I was unable to beforehand.

    The phone runs quickly/smoothly there is enough internal storage to host all of the phones apps and external storage for everything else. The cameras are whatever but I probably just suck at using them. Overall very happy with my purchase.
