My mom bought me this when I first started 7th grade. At first I was very happy because hey, it's my first phone! Immediately after there were some problems. 1: Every time I watched a 720p60 video, the screen would turn black. Also, YouTube starts lagging a whole bunch after a few hours of use. I'm a high school freshman now and it's a complete mess.

Well, I've had this phone since January of 2018 and now i'm looking for an upgrade. It's now September 2019 and I got to say. It worked great for about a year and some change. Of course its a budget phone with 1.5 RAM but i could do daily task, social media and even some gaming on PUBG once you know how to use Dev settings to make it have better performance. But overall good display and everything. But these last 6-8 months is where things went noticeably downhill for the speed, storage optimization and Battery plus RAM degradation. Yes with all these budget phones the RAM loses its ability to optimize properly after a year. Just know my battery lasted 5 hours and it was lagging and taking 10 seconds to open an app regularly. Galaxy A20 here I come.

Almost 2 years and no problem with this phone. You gamers need a high speed phone.

If you like to waste money, buy this phone. This phone is absolute garbage. One thing that got me really mad was that when I bought it from AT&T, it literally called it the J3 (2017). That's literally a lie! Anyways, this phone turns into a potato after using it for a month. Meaning it gets completely useless. Seriously, 1.5 GB of RAM? What was Samsung thinking? I know the phone is cheap, but at least make it useable!

This phone is absolute garbage, I have an s3 that got thrown in the washing machine for 20 or so mins that I use for games since this thing aucks so bad and turns itself off every time try to play a game. And not even games that take any kinda graphics power, just any game. It is a POS

Liked the phone until updates caused it stop pairing with my Fitbit. Apparently its incompatible. Never would have bought it knowing that.

I've had this phone for 2 years now. It's good for a budget but has some issues. Mine won't install updates, lord knows I've tried. Every time I try to install them I just get the same error report. its a little laggy and sometimes locks for no good reason and takes a couple of minutes before I can get back in. Also, If I leave it for more than a couple hours without opening it it has a hard time starting up unless it was on the charger. overall it's good enough but shouldn't be your first choice.

Libbylou, 25 Jun 2018I literally have hated this phone from day one, I've had it... moreI've had the same issues too, I have to reset mine very 2 months just to get to work a little les laggy. I can't stand that not even the most shitty games it can't run them decently, and even the camera take forever to load... I know it's a cheap phone but at best you should only get it if your other phone broke and you need something for a month or two MAX. you'll get sick of it after a week and you'll feel like throwing it. Please don't buy it unless you need it.

I've had this phone for close to a year and it isn't all that great. I just switched to a Note 4 and it's WAY better for all that it is an older device. One of the most frustrating things with the J3 is that I had to keep turning off the game optimization after the latest o/s update if I didn't want my phone to keep rebooting itself while trying to play a game...even something as simple as Solitaire would see it reboot itself. And there are several other games that the J3 simply can't even download, yet an older device with an older o/s has no issues with them. I get that the J3 is a cheaper phone, but it's really not worth it.

When I got this phone, it was labeled at Galaxy J3 (2017). Totally incorrect, and the actual J3 2017 is 100 times better. When I upgraded this phone to 8.0, but just got slower. The 2.5 GB of RAM is just nothing to even bother with. The 5 MP Camera is nothing to bother with either. Not a good phone at all.
