Bought this phone on launch, which was more than 7 years ago and this phone still works with no major complications. Even though this phone was the lower end of Samsung J lineup at that time, I can still use it for basic stuff. Kudos Samsung, amazing budget phone.

    I still use mine today as a mini tablet as managed to lock the puk years ago. Works fantastic still. Runs Android 9, still works fine with a number of apps I use it for. As there's no GSM in use, battery lasts great for a week in standby still. Screen at 720p is still fine for basic web browsing, specially on a 5 inch screen. When I can remember to dock it, I 3D printed a stand for it so that it can display a clock 24/7. I've used the 1080p camera for video projects when needing additional angles. This phone today is still a true work horse and imagine I still be using it many years from now. Only shame there's no more official security updates, with it still connecting to the web.

      I bought a used phone from a girl, the screen was cracked and the phone was crooked. measured with a ruler, the difference between the two ends in the middle is about 2 mm. then it became clear why, as the girl turned around, her phone was in the back pocket of her short jeans... I told her this, she acknowledged it with a flirtatious smile, and then: let me use it wholeheartedly.

        Had this phone for less than a year because the one before died from a drop into water. This phone power button stopped working, but afterwards it died to the rain. A slow death, as it can't be charged and powered on anymore. Shame it died early. Quick check on the repair price it was just not worth it over buying a new phone.

        At least moving on to the Realme 5s helped a lot in owning a phone that can still work today even after multiple drops on the hard floor, going through multiple rains. Sure it got a broken volume button and a thin line of cracked screen recently, but the fact it survived nearly 3 times longer than a Samsung is very helpful.

If so they've just switched off their 3G network all in the name of Net Zero. The result is that these phones now continually switch downwards from 4g to 2g in order to answer a voice call, but do not revert to 4g automatically for data. This often results in you trying to pull data over the 2g network, which is next to useless.

                      Micheal, 06 Oct 2022The phone is great but it doesn't have 16 gb of rom it... moreIt does have 16GB of storage. Android + system apps are taking up around 4GB, so in the settings it does come up as only having 12GB, however the phone has a 16GB storage chip, therefore is 16GB.

                          Good hardware but the communauty isn't active for creating custom firmware.

                          I'm work on it but it's hard for me, i'm a random user.

                                  I bought mine in Malaysia during my visit and i am from Philippines on September 2017. Mic stop working after a year and fixed, around 2020 screen glitch when screen not use in just 30 minutes but it will be okay after using for 30 minutes and when you let screen off for more than an our the glitch will disappear after one hour of usage so therefore i must not let the screen off and i have to install AOD and it cost you a battery drain. Up until now for almost 5 years it is still my daily driver. Has also screen blotted when i open it to fix volume rocker and power button.

                                    I got one of these for free recently, it's really not too bad to use even now

                                      2019. Which means 2 years ago.
