Hi Kalina, I have been a Samsung fan for many years but this J1 is the worst I have ever had. It failed the first day as the screen flickered then the following day the screen went a yellow brown colour and I could not text or use it. I sent it back to the supplier for a full refund. Also the sound rings for messages and calls were very soft and not much selection. Very disappointed.

    this phone is very unreliable bcz it -
    1:freezes
    2:very slow (can't even play a game without it automatically closing it)
    3:the screen is super fragile
    4:it's get hot buy just looking through pics
    and finally 5:the storage is way to small,even when I insert an 8gb sd card,it get filled up with misc(spam,Os files and useless backup cache)

Well it is a phone, so why not ring up and talk. Much easier and quicker to communicate using speech, then trying to type messages back and forward. You can say something and get a immediate reply with speech and then say something else, instead of waiting for a text.
                  Though I still prefer to talk in person, or next best thing is to video chat.

                    I read some pretty bad reviews about the j1 and I was kinda nervous about getting one. But it works amazing! The battery lasts a long time, it doesn't freeze, the actual phone works just fine. If you want a nice, affordable smartphone then I would definitely recommend the j1

                              Okay im not saying that these peoples are telling lies bc my friend has j1 and its so slow, memory sucks,its freezing all the fraking time and it drives her crazy and she regtets for byibg it a lot... she has so many problems. But i also have j1 and it works amazing. Its not slow, doesnt freeze AT ALL and i like how the phone looks. I bought a big space memory card so i dont have nemory problems and im not sure would i have it without memory card. Some people here also said they have the keyboard priblem like it doesnt shows i guess. Honestly when im reading these comments i felt like wooah what do we have the same phobe wtf' so yeah. This is my opinion, so yah.

                                  Worst phone EVER made! I honestly think the Nokia 5110 is a MUCH BETTER phone with less problems!! If i had lots of apps on it or something like that i would understand. But just plain normal running it cant even cope with. Biggest piece of rubbish in history!

                                    I really regret buying this phone. I bought it because I was on a budget and I needed a smartphone, and at first I thought it was OK. But if you install 4 or 5 apps on your phone then after about a month it will get super slow. Sometimes you want to type a message and the keyboard doesn't even load for a few minutes! I have had to reset to factory settings multiple times and only have the essential apps that I need but it still slows down after a month or so. DON'T GET THIS PHONE!

                                        Why did I not research this phone before purchase. Foolishly assumed Samsung to be reputable as previous Galaxy Ace was excellent...I didn't expect fabulous because it was inexpensive..I am pensioner....but I didn't need fabulous only needed basic.....it is Basic Unsmart Crap Phone.....looks pretty...looks cool....but very UnCool Indeed ...do not buy this phone!!!
