Samsung - Galaxy J3 (2016) 4G LTE with 16GB Memory Cell Phone (Unlocked) - White

I like the Samsung J3, it have memory up to 256GB with MicroSD card and Best Buy is the source for great deals. I grabbed the last one in stock that day and very happy with the performance of the phone. It uses Marshmallow 6.0 and great graphics. It has 5" HD Super AMOLED touch screen.

Mom lost phone so I gave this one to her & she's happy!

Excellent product and very good for the price. Good quality pictures and easy to used.

Wrote a long review and lost it. Will summarize: less bloatware then any previous phone, removable battery, lightning fast response times, easy to customize, fits well in hand, good photo editor. I've added loads of apps and only used half available memory. Watch TV on phone and generally great HD playback with only occasional lag or pixellation. Casting is fantastic with Googlecast on my smart TV. Cons: I don't know what genius designed this phone to have no notification light, so you have to activate the phone to see what's going on if you miss the notification sounds. Also, the camera could be better. Too many blurry shots even with a lot of filters. I'd buy this phone again. Good battery time and reliable apps and customization. Just can't seem to find a case for it. Best Buy doesn't carry them.

Previously I was on Windows phone, but was fed up with Microsoft making promises and creating products that they just turn around and give up on. So I've decided to go away from thier products and this is my first experience with Samsung. I don't like signing contracts didn't want to spend $500 for a phone, so this was a great option for me. It's not the fastest phone in the world, but it performs nicely and integrates well with all of my other electronics. Best Buy offered a great protection plan as well. anyone that just needs a simple phone with tons of apps, and doesn't care that it runs at the speed of light willbe happy with this device!

Thie device was purchased as an unlocked device, to allow me my choice of providers, minimize bloatware, and allow all the "phones" features to operate without functions locked by telco contracts. Performance is a little slow due to not the best processor, but provides the needed service it was purchased for. Major fault is that it is not Truly "unlocked". This device will not allow you to use the phones hotspot/datasharing feature without permission of a service provider. How the FCC allows this violation in the law is beyond me. So if datashare/ hotspot isn't important for your smartphone this is a good buy.

I hate phone contracts and buying this one sub-$150 unlocked and off-contract was just fantastic. Picked up the AD warranty and happy I did, my youngest dropped the phone on the corner of a street and shattered the screen 60 days after I bought it. Took it into BestBuy and walked out with a new phone and off I went. Great phone, great service. I'd rate it 5 stars but if you want a great camera, this isn't it. It's ok for the price, but there are better options if you're willing to spend the money.

My octogenarian mom had mastered her Galaxy 3 for years when the phone finally began to have inconsistent WiFi and mobile network connectivity after so many years of service. Rather than start a new learning curve with a different brand, we went hunting for a newer Samsung model. After wrestling with a few refurbished unlocked Galaxy 4 and 5 models, I saw the J3 in Best Buy. Even new and pristine (none of the "user ghosts" found with a used phone) it cost less than refurbished and came with an "actual" warranty. This is a very nice phone. It's reliable, consistent and offers an "easy" display theme with large icons and simple method for customizing the screen icons. Beautiful screen. Lovely interface. Also has a sound adjustment for hearing aids. Only three items to note: This model doesn't have an auto brightness adjustment. Not too big a deal (Mom doesn't care), but irritating if you're used to the auto function. There isn't an option for wireless charging. Also not a deal-breaker, but would be easier for a user with low dexterity to simply place the phone on a charging pad rather than fumble with the USB port. The third issue can be a real pain, depending upon your carrier. Mom's old Galaxy 3 uses a micro SIM. This phone uses a nano SIM - which is noted nowhere on the box. The Walmart Family Mobile BYOP program had ZERO nano SIM cards available either online or in stores (July 2017), so we had an unusable piece of equipment until Walmart restocked. After several tries, WFM finally found a nano SIM somewhere... But the switch from micro to nano SIM requires a change to the account profile. All this ended up with a complete phone downtime of three days from when Walmart set the account to nano SIM (couldn't use the micro SIM or it's Galaxy 3 any longer), mailed the nano SIM (3 days) and then restarted the account with the new J3 phone and new SIM setup. (So much for seamless.) This doesn't reflect on the operation of the phone, but we would have been better prepared had we known about the SIM card size difference from the beginning. Mom is very happy with the phone and has been busy calling, emailing, texting and streaming videos from the Weather Channel. We're happy knowing that the WiFi and mobile data service is reliable, and that it's a dependable Samsung. Joy all around!
