    This was purchased to replace a Samsung Galaxy S3 using Virgin Mobile as my carrier. This phone has exceeded all my expectations.

    I jist happened to run across this while in best buy and saw that it was a 16 gig phone just like I wanted. It also had a 13 megapixel camera like my previous phone. At 80 dollars off the regular price, that was enough to give it a try. I went home and read reviews before opening it up. The reviews were pretty good, but it turns out the phone was even better . Turns out the 2015 model that people were commenting on had a lot of issues. This one is faster , more powerful and just plain better.

    My old HTC phone was always running out of memory. My new Samsung Galaxy J7 is awesome! Never runs out memory and runs really fast. Pages load much quicker! I recommend it to anyone.

    comparing the J7 to S7 versions, the J7 camera is a bit better . Who cares about the total steadiness when taking selfies..for over $200 less....this phone does a great job.

    On the whole, this phone is a great value for the price. It's probably not as svelte as a more expensive phone, but I'm not sure what else might be missing since it meets my needs. My previous phone was a galaxy S3 and so far I'm liking the larger screen and the better battery life. More than 16gb internal memory would have been nice since I have a lot of apps.

    I've been using this phone for over a year...still performs like the day I bought it. I've only ever had Android phones and it's the best I've ever had...and you can't beat the price. The increased internal memory compared to other phones I've had for Virgin Mobile is a huge improvement. My last one, in the same price range was limited to 1gb internal storage, couldn't hold more than a few apps, whereas this has been seemingly endless. Most phones I've had have started to slow down after a year or so and get glitchy, no such problems here.

    I am actually writing this on the Samsung Galaxy J7. Basically I call this phone the "junior" version of the Galaxy S7. If you'd rather have a prepaid phone but still want a decent smartphone that's name brand, this is for you. The J7 is lacking some of the features the S7 has (so I hear), but it's definitely a great phone for the price. I've noticed it started lagging after owning it for awhile and the battery life draining more, but overall, it's still working pretty well after having it for like maybe 6 months or more?

    This was my favorite droid ever...in the beginning. Unfortunately it started overheating and was never the same again. Replaced under warranty but same issue occurred.

    The J7 is probably one of the best phones I've bought or even gotten ever. Its still running fast even after almost a year unlike most other phones they tend to freeze up or are very slow over time. And I've dropped it many times without a phone case and its got some dents and scratches but no cracked screens. The best thing about the j7 is tat when streaming or doing something on the phone it doesnt get disrupted by texts messages and phone calls.

    I'm a money restricted student but I needed a smartphone that allowed me to web browse and watch videos for class without difficulty. The J7 is perfect for this and is by far the best option for cost efficient smart phones on Virgin Mobile. It is a larger phone but adjusting to the size is easy since the phone is so light.
