Samsung - Galaxy J3 TOP - Black (Verizon)

The salesman was exceptional. This phone was an upgrade from the old multimedia phone

I moved from an old flip phone to this model. I'm getting the hang of using it and feel comfortable now answering emails and texts and doing some web browsing. Having a user guide that's can be saved and printed as a pdf helps - not all smart phones have them. That said, somethings still are not obvious, like needing to not only hit the green phone icon to answer a call but also swipe the screen (this prevents "pocket dialing" and the like but needed to be explained to me by an office colleague). Still, if you have to start somewhere, this is a decent model. comes with security built in (by knox). You will get many offers when you activate (cloud space, enhanced security, etc...). I just decline until I know what it is about.

I told the salesman at Best Buy that I wanted a good reliable phone at a reasonable cost. The Samsung J3 is that phone. It has all the functions and upgrades that I wanted. It is easy to use and the transition from my old Galaxy S4 mini was easy to do. I love it and I love the price. Thank You Sean at Lansing Mi Best Buy for listening to my needs for a phone and recommending the Samsung J3. You courtesy and assistance in matching me with the right phone with no effort to try and oversell me on a pricier phone is appreciated.

Understand this phone is a for my father who is in his 80s. Its his first smart phone. I just needed something easy, with low frills, but with enough power to do what he needs it to do (answer/make calls, light web browsing, an occasional text, and maybe someday he will check email on it). It works well for him. I wouldn't buy this phone for myself, but its what he needed to take a step into the smart phone world. Phone has an Micro SD slot, and a removable battery, which is a big plus.

I have never had a cell phone so this is my first. And wow, what an easy phone to use. I still don't know much about the "cell phone world" but I bought it for talk and text only and it is great! I get really good reception everywhere I go and I am able to stay in touch with important people as well as communicate with my boss. Since he does all his business by texting it is absolutely essential. The Best Buy staff made it real easy to understand and made buying this, my first ever cell phone, fun and enjoyable. Thanks Best Buy!!!!

Excellent choice to replace my faithful, but 6 year old Droid Razor M!! Looking for a good phone of similar size (5") and function and found it in this Samsung J3v 2018 Pro. Very happy with the service at Costa Mesa Best Buy and left happy with my choice. Only reason for 4 s Stars instead of 5 is because it lacks an indicator light showing missed calls/texts, which is good to have. Love the phone so far and appreciate the excellent help in getting it set up....win/win !

I wanted a cheap phone that does everything - this phone does that perfectly. It cost me only a fraction of the price of my last phone and I can't tell the difference, other than this one has a better voice mic, so I don't have to yell into the phone anymore. I haven't had it long, so I can't speak to durability, but the screen is just as bright and clear as my last phone, I can get my emails, it takes pictures, and it accepted my old sd card, to expand the memory - super happy so far.

I purchased this for my mother and she loves it. It’s easy to use if you sit down for a day and push buttons to see were it leads you. She learned how to use it in a day. If you click something you think you should not have all you have to do is click the back arrow and you are on the home screen. Anyone who can read should be able to use this phone. All smartphone users do is read the buttons before they select them. If it’s not the app they were looking for they press the back button and click until they figure things out. Sometimes old people think young people magically know how to use smart phones. We just read & tap until we find what we are looking for.
