I purchased this phone after I dropped my net10 phone after hearing some terrible news about my sister. I am glad I was able to find this phone for such a great price. I really like the size of the phone and all the greats apps. The screen is large enough to view things unlike the difficulty I had viewing web sites on my other phone. Thanks BestBuy for all the great deals you have available, especially in a time of need.

I really like this phone a lot. It's capabilities are outstanding! The only issue I have with it, is the fact that the memory is almost non existent. Even with a sd card. Because it won't allow you to move much to the card.

Great sale price on this smartphone. No problems with phone. Works as expected and better. Battery usage time good as usually lasts a full day without recharge. Camera is what expect for price. Love the dimensions as not too big or too small. Fits pocket perfectly. Only negative is internal storage at 8 gb when operating system and preloaded apps take 6 gb. Not much room for additional apps. Purchasing a portable storage card is a must if wish to store music or pics. Great to have most current Android 5.0 operating system.

It is the perfect phone for my wife you is on Facebook and Pinterest almost 24hrs a day. It's affordable and does almost everything the expensive smart phones do. The Verizon coverage is also excellent, she has had no issues there. I do suggest buying a protective case for it.

The price is great for your basic 'no frills' smart phone. It has mid range in quality of reception for calls. Only a few complaints on being heard & have dropped a couple of calls but have had same issue with higher end phones. The battery on J3 has great length of use, I can generally use it all day before needing a charge. The aesthetic of J3 is better than envisioned for a $80 prepay phone. The camera is quite limited, still ok for price. It is quite simple to set up & to program old contacts into. Overall I am copacetic with purchase & price. It is a great bargain & if you are on a budget, this definitely is your phone!

For 60 dollars you can not anything better and that's the bottom line. If Samsung keeps it up it might take over the world. I am overly impressed with how far pre paid phones came in the last year. I'm estattic that I can finally pay 60$ and get something decent, I break a phone just about every two months and I do not Mind paying for is product!!! Unreal! Keep up the good work samsungi

This phone is everything I would want it to be. It's relatively fast and runs any app I install. However, 8gb is tiny given the size of current Android OS, and the standard apps Samsung has on the phone take up even more space and most can't be moved to an internal SD card. With fewer apps than I want and all of the ones that can be moved moved to the SD, this phone is still 91% full, and I just bought it. I've even turned off updates since there is no space for them. I would suggest this phone but only if there is one with more memory.

I wanted a phone with a speedy processor, an SD card slot and no contract. This Samsung product fit the bill. I don't need infinite data because wi-fi is available most anywhere I travel, so for $40 a month I've got a smart phone that does everything I need. Affordable, too. I spent more on the 128 gig SD card that the phone. Now I can roll with 11,000+ tunes as well as 8-10 movies stored on the SD card. No wi-fi? No problemo. The tunes and films aree available anywhere, any time. This Galaxy sells for less than $100. I took the more expensive models for a test drive and simply cannot justify $600 or more for a phone when this unit gets the job done.

Yes, best size, best features and best price. I loved this phone, but when I called someone they said the voice was breaking up. I returned it to Best Buy and they exchanged it for a phone with a better (different) antenna. Loved the phone, but it didn't work out for me. Best Buy was very helpful.

I purchased this for my wife who is a smart phone novice. She's new to using a touch screen and is able to maneuver her way around just fine. It's just the right size screen and is very slim. The battery lasts quite a long time. She rates it at 5 stars. I would rate it at 4 only because the screen is not smooth like Gorilla Glass is. She doesn't seem to care though.

I love this phone i started out with the Samsung Galaxy j1 and when i was looking to upgrade get a newer version of my phone i found the J3 i was beyond excited about the price and that it was a newer model of what i had, then i received the package and activated it, THIS PHONE is amazing and worth every penny, i love it!!! No more freezing up, it has a nice big screen , easy to type on, i love that its brighter than my old phone and a bit bigger so worth it

Great phone for the price! Seems to be doing the job for me. Takes decent pictures. Nice size. Not too heavy. Excellent screen images. Great service from Phillip at Best Buy. Bought two of these phones and he got us all set up and running. He knows his stuff

I bought this phone as a replacement for a Motorola phone. So far it has been great. It has a larger screen, better screen resolution and better camera.
The only draw back is that it does not have a magnetic field sensor so no compass app will work.

I've purchased every iteration of the Apple iPhone. After using this phone it's forced me to reaccess their production relation to my iPhone 6+ product. Samsung clearly has a better phone, more robust, better screen and (most importantly) incredible customer service. ive purchased the top of the line iPhone without any follow up from Apple. I've gotten numerous follow up emails from Samsung. This isn't even there flagship model. Samsung wants our busines; thus, I want to be apart of their journey. That's what initially drew me to Apple. Apple doesn't care anymore.

Upgraded from prepaid Verizon Samsung J1 to J3. Unfortunately sim card was different in the phones and would like more phone memory but other than that happy with the Upgrade and larger screen size.
