This is a great phone for the price. This camera takes beautiful pictures. I don't like the sound buttons on the side I hold
I my hand it's easy to push the sound off. But I really like the phone.

Cool Prepaid Android phone

The Samsung Galaxy J7 prepaid is a really good quality Android phone. This phone has 5.5 HD display. There are plenty of preloaded apps to choose from on this phone. Some cool game apps including Wheel of Fortune are preloaded. The phone has 16 GB memory capacity. However, you can purchase a Micro SD card to transfer pics or certain apps to add memory and free up internal space. This phone also features a 13 MP (mega pixel )camera, for the front and rear camera lenses. Therefore, the pictures taken are of very good quality. There is also a built-in flash light, that can be turned off or put on automatic flash, for picture and video taking purposes. This phone also comes with a free three month Sirius Satellite music streaming service subscription (for first time subscribers). A really cool perk in and of itself. The phone itself made of durable materials, but a case or cover to prevent scratches is highly recommended. An optional tempered glass screen protector is also a good idea. Overall, a good value for an Android phone.

This phone is durable, talks, texts, surfs Facebook and messages. I rarely use the Internet, but on the rare occasion I do it works just fine for me and is not too confusing. I like how simple it is to use. I had an Apple 6S+ and it was just too complicated for my 78-year old needs. The only downside is that the picture-taking is slow and I miss or blur a lot of pictures as a result. My sons have better phones and theirs take much better pictures. I will probably look for a phone that takes better pictures next time. Overall I give it 4 stars however. For price, ease of use, functions and difficulty taking photos.

I love this phone, the size, and the camera quality. But you will need an SD card if you plan to record or download games. The storage runs out pretty quickly. The only thing that irritates me is the amount of steps you have to take to perform simple tasks. The spell check feature is annoying. It automatically replaces words that are spelled correctly. But the battery life is outstanding. The screen resolution is good.

WAs easy and simple for the Best Buy's associate to switch my service to this phone. Like the size and weight of this phone. The screen is a good size. Easy to operate, takes good quality pictures. Was a bit disappointed I couldn't set the sound alert when I receive messages to one I downloaded. Other than that the phone is great.

The only things I miss from a Samsung is the ability to use Google Pay remotely and the fingerprint sensor. Other than that, this is a great little phone. Fast, awesome camera, nice size. Great for the price.

Affordable upgrade from Galaxy J1

Upgrade from Galaxy J1 running Lollipop, so pretty much everything about this phone is better.
EXCEPT one extremely serious issue I have that was apparent immediately: NO NOTIFICATION LIGHT. My old phone has a missed call/text notification - blue LED flashing light - easily visible from several feet away and in the dark. (Screen also stays dark and private.)
This phone does not have that light....So instead of just looking at the phone when you're busy, or at a meeting or dinner or every time you leave and return, etc., you have to actually handle this phone to physically check if you missed a call or text. This would have been a deal breaker had I known before I chose to get this one.
May not be a big deal to other people, but it's a huge deal for me.
Hence only 4 out of 5 stars.

Since my little dog went missing, I have done stupid things -- like drop my old J7 in a toilet (clean, but... ugh). Anyway, replaced it with the 2nd Generation J7. Good, but I really prefer my old phone. Old one was slightly smaller, and messaging was better, too (though I cannot understand why). It's great, though, for the money! Hate contracts; love prepaid phones!!

Bought this as an upgrade to my trusty Samsung J3. It's the perfect size and weight and the camera on this thing is simply awesome! Comes with the updated OS and has enough memory out of the box to get by for awhile before resorting to a card. HIGHLY recommended!

This phone exceeded all my expectations. I am so happy I made this purchase. The screen size is great for viewing Netflix, Disney+, Youtube, etc. The volume is pretty loud. I was impressed when I found out that it can hold a mini sd card that has up to 400gb of space. This is a great phone. I highly recommend this product

The camera and display is really nice. The processor is decent and the phone has decent space. At first I was hesitant to pay more for the phone but for being prepaid it works really well. Only downside is speaker volume and keyboard requires some getting used to- I still accidentally take a lot of screenshots instead of locking my phone.

I switched from the Motoe5. It was horrible. I would miss text and call notifications. It would freeze up. I even added a new memory card. So I switched to Samsung. So far so good. I gave a 4 star rating since I haven't had it long enough. I got it on sale so that's a plus.

We’ve had this phone for a few months now, and so far it has been great for my husband. This is his introduction into smart phones as I’ve been till recently he had a flip phone. He says this phone is very easy to use and operate. Battery life is good, and lots of cool features. Overall, a great buy!
