There's also an exynos model of this phone with the exynos 3475. I took mine apart and that's how i know. As far as i can tell all the rest of the specs are the same.

I've been using this phone for more than 6 years. It's durable, yes, well, maybe. The physic of the phone is yes, it's still looking good and healthy. The battery however, my phone always died when the battery is showing close to 50%. If it's that close and you're not going to charge it, well, you'll never see the number 4 as the first digit of the battery (that means it's always died before even reaching 49% or below).
The voice recorder is what I love best. Yes, it does record whisper and gibberish surrounding like the sound of fan or wind. I used it to record hundreds of classes in my school. It takes very few storage compared to my friends' phone. It has secret features like when you never had any music before, and then you have plenty of music, the Samsung Music app will appear (well, yes, that of course take a place in the storage, but not that much). Like, that's convenient, for you can see lyrics of the tracks and edit tracks there.
The power button though, it's buried. It's not useful anymore. Gladly, I found YouTube videos how to turn on the phone without the power button, and it worked! But, I have to download a screenshot app and the power off button app. The app is good though (that's out of context, but I did the same for Galaxy A01 Core and it didn't allow the app to do screenshot, and that's bad for me).
Overall good. Just the battery that didn't last long and low internal storage. I used 128 GB external card and it worked without any problem. No problem for storing images, videos, and documents because of the SD card. However, you can't play big games here as it takes a lot of storage. Also, sooo many games isn't compatible for this device (even YouTube isn't supported on this device anymore, you have to watch it from the browser or Chrome).

Zain, 30 Jun 2017 Please tell me , I have Samsung Galaxy J1 2016 . It stops ... moreIf your phone keeps crashing try reseting it in the settings if that does not work turn the phone off then when it turns on press vol up home button
And the power button
Then it may say installing software update
Then wait a bit after that in recovery mode chose option named clear data/factory reset
Press the volume buttons to go up and down
And press the on button to select the option
After that's done chose ok then your phone will reset and then chose the option restart phone
Hint if you reset using recovery mode you will need to login to your google account to verify it is your phone

I still use this phone as secondary, just to see videos with the beautiful screen.

The back camera's still banging in 2022 with great capture of colors, compared to the newest samsung budget phones in 2020 under $200. Loved this phone very much.

kfcsaucysauce, 04 Jan 202201/04/2022. Yep that is correct. You read the date on this.... moreIn my opinion and based in my experience, Samsung galaxy J1 served its purpose as a 2016 android phone, I am currently using Samsung J1 2016 to make this "opinionated review", surprised right? Even though it may seem shocking, I do not recommend buying this particular brand right now, there are hundreds of phones on the market with the same price range but has better specifications. Sure this was one of the best phones during its time (2016), but to buy this during 2022 is a complete no-no. Here are some of its advantages and disadvantages of buying this phone based on my opinion and experience:
Advantages:
-small size ( can fit on your pocket, small bags, and its lightweight)
-durable ( this phone goes way back 2016, the materials that were used on this phone made this phone very sturdy)
-It is very strong, this phone have falled multiple times, it falled on the ground, bucket of water, i have thrown this btw, and yet it only recieved minor scratches from its sides
Disadvantages
-it really is small compared to the average hand, only a kid can use this due to the small screen
-with the revolutionary world we have now, this phone is completely boring, the memory snd ram is so small it will only support some social media apps,high graphic games won't run on this phone
-camera is totally outdated, does not need an explanation, this is a 2016 phone to be precise.
-storage is limited (unless you have microsd card)
-Limited access to certain apps due to its storage capacity and ram.
The best way to enjoy this phone if you ever bought one in 2022, is for texting or calling, download some music and emails.

01/04/2022. Yep that is correct. You read the date on this. This phone has probably been out for like 6 years but it's not too late to do a review on it. If you do plan on getting this phone for your children please don't. The processor is complete garbage an I mean it. It is stuck on android 6 marshmallow because it last update was in 2018. The amount of space available on it is under 4gb even though it says it has 8gb of storage. I have four apps on this phone and that is Messenger Lite, Twitter, Facebook Lite, and Ali Express. Now this phone just says storage space running out and the gallery refuses to open. I'm only using this phone because I broke my samsung galaxy s21+ 5g and this is the only thing I have right now until I have time to buy a new phone. If you think the other stuff I'm telling you about is awful then you're in for a ride cause those aren't even the worse thing that happens to this phone. Sometimes it'll freeze and restart out of nowhere. Other times it'll be
slower than a sloth and I hate that
