    This phone replaced my pre-paid phone with Virgin Mobile. Activation was easily done before i left the store. Great call quality and battery life. All my data was transferred to the new phone by the Smart Switch app. Camera is Ok. Great for texting and reading email, GPS and maps are easy to use, A life saver!

    The phone is an upgrade from my Iphone 4S. The Camera is not as nice as I was hoping, considering the other reviews. The camera takes a very long time to focus, resulting in blurry photos if you're trying to take candids of children. I have searched and am unable to find a way to change this. The quality of the photo is okay at best. The phone is extremely fragile. I would not recommend purchasing without a case and screen protector ASAP. I (barely) dropped the phone two times now and both times the screen split in right down the middle. I have had the phone for three weeks now and it looks like I've had it for years. I am very careful with my things. Otherwise, screen is huge. Sound quality is fine. Doesn't freeze up. Acceptable purchase but I would recommend a phone with Gorilla Glass these days

    Great phone. It's got everything I was looking for in a phone and more. The on-board ROM and RAM is large enough for me to do what I couldn't on other phones.

    Awesome new phone. It does so much more that my old one didn't. Very cool and fast feature with no problems as of yet. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great reliable phone with all the bells and whistles and updates. So glad I decided to buy 2 of these and not a iPhone.

    Why spend $600 on a phone when you don't need all the latest gizmos and features? The J7 has everything I need in a nice slim package and a great camera. I can't imagine needing a bigger screen and with Samsung software you can store any added apps on an SD card.

    This phone has most of the features of the more expensive Samsung phones. I consider that its size and the 13 megapixel camera make it a great bargain and choice. I love this phone.

    The Samsung Galaxy J7 is fast, especially since I owned a Samsung S3 before I purchased the J7. Has many convenient features that my daughter has taught to use. I was hoping to find a better price for the phone. Best Buy was convenient at the time of purchase.

    I really love Samsung Galaxy phones and the S7 was a bit too much $$ for me at the moment so I went with the J7. It does all I need it to do and I am loving the large screen size.

    This phone has it all; great camera, fast surfing and is a fraction of the cost of most Samsung Galaxy models. It can also double as a Wi-Fi hotspot. Have had this phone for a few months and have had no issues whatsoever.

    My son wanted this phone to replace his LG Stylo. The main reason was to have increased ram and internal memory. It came down to this or the Stylo 2 and the octa core processor in the J7 won out. I have a Stylo 2 and it's a fine phone, but my son is happy with his J7. Way happy.

    Same look and performance as S3 but then bigger. If you're into one-handed control, you need a big hand! Nice camera. No notification light: I lived. Wi-Fi seems to be insanely sensitive: I can be a block away from McDo and still pick up their signal! WOW Battery OK, lasts about a day. Comes with slick white charger and nice earphones. Virgin: annoying upgrades and apps Bad phone service in Honolulu but acceptable. No service in the country (Montana, Idaho, etc.) or Alaska/Canada at all.

    Decent internal memory size and supports large SD memory cards for greater storage. Large 5.5 inch screen perfect for playing Netflix. Typical Samsung apps that connect to Samsung TV's, sound bars, internet of things, etc. Recommended if you have other Samsung devices.

    I can't believe people purchase contract phones like they are doing something special. Great phone. Great plans. Great price. What more could you ask for in a prepaid phone.

    My past phone was a Samsung reverb, for my first smartphone it was alright, but I think this is my first smartphone. This is so much more advanced, and the speed is outrageous, and I learn something new everyday. I am loving it, best purchase I made in a while. TY

    Phone works well. Takes better pictures that many of my previous phones. Has sufficient storage space and allows you to transfer apps to a microSD card so you don't have to use up all of the phone's internal storage. So far, I have nothing to complain about.

    Bought to replace LG Tribute (which was very basic), but this does on the same level as my Samsung S6. I actually bought 3 of these (one for my wife and two boys). After a month they are very happy with the phones as well as the quality of the camera.
