1ST Time Smartphone User
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a first time smartphone user the jury is still out on this phone. I do like some of the features on the phone but am not entirely sure about everything I can do with it yet. I especially like the fact that it is a "No Contract Phone" yet, It has many of the features of the more expensive contract phones. Once I've learned more about what I can do with this phone I may post another review.

Excellent phone
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this phone to replace a 2015 J7 I got a few months ago because a couple of apps I use only run on Nougat 7 and holy smokes I'm so glad I did. It's longer, narrower and thinner than the J7 which felt like I was lugging around a miniature tablet at times, it's also noticeably quicker and the screen seems crisper on the eyes. Al my apps and the OS (currently Nougat 7.0 ) are taking up 3.44 GB of space which leaves me 10.37. GB of free space. I also have a 64 GB sd card for storing pics and video's etc. so other than installing a few more apps I don't anticipate filling it up with apps. It comes with some bloatware but you can unistall some apps or disable the apps that won't uninstall. There doesn't appear to be a notification light for text's etc.so hopefully Samsung may consider it in a future update but judging from the 2015 J7 I wouldn't hold my breath The call clarity is great, I was often told my J7 would sometimes echo and sound like it's under water to the person on the other end when I spoke but the Perx I'm told is crystal clear I use Virgin so I didn't have the luxury of having a lot of phones to select from but honestly I'd much rather buy this for $199 than pay $500 and up for a phone that might have a couple more bells and whistles that I don't really need. I'm technical and I use my phone a lot in my day to day and the Perx handles it nicely.

Great replacement for Galaxy S3
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Galaxy S3 was on its last legs and my monthly prepaid cycle just renewed with Virgin Mobile. Best Buy does not carry many high end option in store for Virgin. Otherwise, I likely would have bought a Galaxy S8. I chose the J7 Perx and I'm happy with the result. It's currently on sale for $129 which is a lot less than an S8. The operating system is a big improvement over the S3. The phone is very fast and fluid moving between apps and the internet. It also has a very strong battery life. So far I've gotten 5 days on a charge (although I tend to keep it on just a phone/text option and shut it down at night). For the money, this is a great option.

Very happy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price of this phone it is 10 times better than my old android phone. I couldn't be happier. I added a 32gb micro sd card and transferred everything from my old phone including 2500 pictures, 30 videos and about 3,000 songs and still have 19gb left on sd card. My internal phone storage with a bunch of apps installed is around 4gb. The front and main camera takes excellent pictures. Screen is very large and easy to see. Phone also has one handed mode which will reduce the screen size to make it easier to reach with your thumb also you can move it to the right or left depending on your dominate hand. Phone is very responsive and fast. For what you get the price is a great value.

J7 PERX samsung
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i do like the ease of the cellphone, easy for applications, easy to learn and function, sometimes the screen will not work and you have to restart, can be upsetting, ive had it a few weeks and it has happened half dozen times, but I take pictures, call, text and use social media consistently, I ordered a cute holding case off amazon, we all had the J3 before this one and absolutely loved it hands down, fact is my 20 yr old doesn't want to change it up, but I wanted one to get more apps, hold more pages and tad bigger screen which is the J7. We love Virgin Mobile and have never had issues with their service, best part is the phones are awesome and not cheap made

Great phone, Great Price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this as an upgrade for my Samsung J3, which even with 1.5 gb ram, still ran low on memory. All the difference in the world, partially due to the Android Nougat system, which works perfectly with the Samsung J7 to maximize memory and keep it moving smoothly. Pictures are good, responsiveness excellent.

Big improvement over LG
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been a LG cell phone user for 4 phones...but they don't seem to hold up. I'd read good reviews about Samsung Galaxy and decided to pay 2-3x what entry level LG phones cost for entry level Samsung. It was worth it! This phone just feels like it is higher quality. So far I like it a lot. I just wish there was an easy way to remove bloatware - unwanted (preinstalled) apps. Rooting the device voids warranty.

Q: QuestionDoes this J7 model overheat? I have the 2015 J7 and it is almost always overheated, even with only a few apps running in the background. I want to replace my 2015 J7 because of the overheating problem. Thanks!!
Asked by Scooter.
- A:Answer I've had it for several weeks, haven't noticed any overheating. However, the new one comes through with Android Nougat (7), and I regularly get messages that the system has shut down unused apps running in the background. (That also prolongs the battery - I use it fairly often - mainly texting - and I get 2 to 2.5 days on a battery charge.)

Q: QuestionI already have a prepaid plan with virgin mobile will Best Buy activate the phone for me
Asked by TeddyT.
- A:Answer Apparently it depends on the store. I have had Virgin Mobile for 10 years. They have always activated my phone and transferred my contacts. But you don't have to. There is a way to do it at home if you choose.
