Total Wireless - Samsung Galaxy J7 Crown with 16GB Memory Prepaid Cell Phone - Black

I think this is my first Samsung cellphone it is very handy and easy to operate. I like the way how I listen to all my favorites music and checked my messages.

I a moto g6 with a Samsung J7 Crown with 16 gb storage. I paid 39.99 for the Samsung phone and have decided I am a Samsung buyer for life. The build quality is excellent. The performance is wonderful and I am hard pressed to determine how phones with more gadgets and cameras that are reported as "better" are really that much better. Even 16 gb of storage is not a problem with cloud based computing. I haven't found anything my 39 dollar phone can't do that I need to do. Pictures are just images and as long as the image shows the intent I don't think it necessary that I see every hair on someones face or what a bee has walked in at the time of the photograph. As for speed, I am not inconvenienced at all by the differences in the nanoseconds of speed that this may lack. This phone is superior to budget phones that are 3 times the price and would compete in performance with phones that are 10 times the price.

This is a great phone for the money. Bought this phone as a replacement for the J3. Very responsive. Display is bright and crisp and the audio is better than I expected. Camera is good. Battery is solid. I'm in sales and do a lot of business off my phone (calls, text, pictures, emails, video calling, etc) and the battery has lasted up to two days on one charge. To be balanced, I don't appreciate weather apps, location advice, etc. so I have turned all that off. Pleasantly surprised to find this phone has hot spot/tethering ability. Didn't see that mentioned anywhere in my initial research. I am an avid Samsung user and think it is worth mentioning the Samsung Smart Switch really takes quite a bit of the headache out of swapping phones.

As prepaid phones go, this is a surprisingly good model -- but, as you'd expect, with some drawbacks. The primary criticism of this phone from others -- and I'd agree -- is that is comes drowned in bloatware. There are multiple ways to remove much of that -- and I've tried two of them -- only to find that doing so makes little difference, especially compared to simply disabling, or otherwise limiting the bloatware. With bloatware either removed or disabled, the Samsung eight-core CPU is reasonably fast -- though clearly not as fast as some Qualcomm CPUs. No issues with accessing the Google Play Store or any of its available apps. Screen quality is very good -- with sharp graphics and multiple ways to adjust color quality. Phone runs especially well on Verizon's CDMA network -- with, usually, excellent sound quality. (Total Wireless is a unit of Tracfone -- which, in turn, is being acquired by Verizon.) So far, calls appear to have consistently been in the advertised 4G LTE mode. I purchased this for 59.99 -- and, on balance, I'd consider this a good deal.

Bought at a great price was looking to replace my J7 sky pro that I had for a couple years and than accidentally shattered one day when I dropped. I was looking for a cheap replacement that would actually be an upgrade and not a down grade bc I was broke from just buying contacts and dropped my phone right before my eye doctor appointment and new I didn't have much to spend but I wanna pick the best and cheapest one to replace so decided this was the cheapest price and had the perks I considered to be upgrades. The camera is better thank goodness the old phone blurred photos easily when my children slightly even moved this one I pull photos from the videos and all of decent quality. I like that it doesn't shatter or crack to easily because I could never own a fragile phone it would not last this one seems pretty durable. Don't care for the sd card slide out tray but nothing major just had sim card and an sd card fly out at me and scare me though when I opened the other day I was glad I found them and recommend opening over a solid clean surface generally if possable. I recommend for anyone needing a nice durable phone that functions well and I found it to be slightly an improvement from sky pro camera wise everything else is mostly the same except phone battery is not removable and sd sim card tray sucks but rarely used to care that it does hope this review helps. Seems to have more space memory wise bc even I think they show same I able to hold more apps than before

This is a great phone and very fast! No issues of any sort. No problems activating from the website. Only took one minute per phone. The Samsung operating system allows apps to be transferred to your SD card which makes the 16gb internal storage seem much bigger. Good pictures and video. Surprised that others have had issues. You should know in advance that this phone is locked to Total Wireless for one year. If you have the same good experience we have had with the Total Wireless service, that will not matter at all.

If you don't need a lot of bells and whistles on a phone or are on a tight budget, this phone is satisfactory or a good phone for a child's first. Pros: Price. Size. Battery life. An actual physical "home" button which I prefer but I'm sure my next phone won't have one. They're practically non existent anymore on higher end phones. Cons: Lackluster image quality on camera. Very little device storage (16 GB) which is only about 11 GB useable. SD card helps but not being able to uninstall preinstalled apps is always a big negative. Phone has lasted me almost two years but haven't gotten any system updates in a long time. Constantly running low on storage. So much so that the "storage space running out" warning is always showing in notification area. Have to clear cache/data in apps several times a day on heavy use days just to be able to use certain apps. Storage gets below 100 MB several times a day.

Love Samsung phones. Easy to set up and use. Great display.
