I've got a different model of this phone (J260A) it got up to Android 9 OneUI 1.5 and it was horrible when I used it. I broke my Galaxy S6 and had this one laying around and used it. If I had realized I had a Galaxy S4 laying around in my closet...

This phone is a little decent, its only for calling, Social media and low end things, gaming on this phone is extremetely garbage but atleast runs subway surfers lol , camera is decent for a phone like this, the storage is not recommendable (16GB) it...

Could be a decent MP3/FM radio/music device to complement a main phone that has no headphone jack or microSD card that you wont give a sh!t about losing cause its not exactly flagship priced
