Sooo I rooted it and debloated it , with the big risk of bricking. My free memory, Battery life and ram usage improved drastically. Now I'm gonna try to port the 7.1.1 rom from the exynos version. It's really hard but possible i believe. For unroot go in SuperSU and select unroot and restore stock boot image but not in recovery. After that you can close oem unlock anytime because frp lock is tricked by stock boot image

It could be upgraded from Lollipop to above? I have read in XDA that it still couldn't. I need at least Marshmallow to set my external card as a primary card for installing apps. How could I upgrade from Lollipop? I'm not sure what OTA is, only know this means over the air, but if this means Wi-fi or else?

Overall is good but, the minor problem coms with facebook app which is too slow and too much consuming the internal space. I don't have any game in my device, all that i have are whatsapp, line, instagram, facebook, messenger and all native apps, see my device only provides less than 1gb in the internal storage. And also, the multitouch input only supports for two fingers

Myself, 02 Nov 2017It's not fair. It's like chipset rasism because the exynos ... moreMT is no better. The best is either Qualcomm or Samsung Exynos. Exynos is better because Samsung makes the drivers themselves. They can't deny or charge themselves for them right? While Qualcomm has denied providing Nougat drivers for the SD800/801.

There's a J320Y model that is not included in the article and it features a 1.2GHZ Qualcomm Snapdragon 410. I have a unit that is based in the Philippines.

It's not fair. It's like chipset rasism because the exynos variant in usa got 7.1.1 update but the j320f (the European version ) has Spreadtrum... I think spreadtrum is blameable here because they don't support newer android versions.... Wished that project treble be made possible on almost every phone. Next time i'm gonna buy a phone with cpu from mediatek or quallcom , both support all new android versions. I'm dissapointed. And why they are making so many variants on all phones?

AnonD-410378, 25 Oct 2017i still have android 5.1.1 on my j3 wtf If your device shipped with 5.1.1, then most likely will never receive any major OS upgrades. That's because it has a Spreadtrum CPU, and it seems likely that Spreadtrum has only provided Samsung with drivers compatible with Lollipop.
If your device shipped with 6.0, then it most likely has an Exynos CPU. Samsung has complete control of the device drivers for those CPUs because they were designed in-house. Those devices are currently receiving an upgrade to 7.x.
