I rate 4/5.
It has an IPS display with almost no IPS glow issues, so the viewing angles are great.
The sprint variant will also ship with the msm8917 (quad core) (I checked CPU-Z on mine).
LED has PWM control, meaning you can change the brightness with a slider.
There is no status LED so yeah.
It has no NFC.
camera is more like 720p than 1080p, it's definitely not REAL 1080p.
it has wifi direct so printing and stuff works.
Durability is okay. mine survived quite a few falls before shattering from a fall from my backpack (I'm 5'9). Touchscreen remained functional and a screen replacement was easy to do since the LCD and glass are fused and you can just do it through the front.
It's fast enough to play basically any game without much issue. as long as you don't bloat the thing up with apps like facebook, twitter, etc (all of which run in the browser just fine, use opera for messenger and you won't need an app) the phone will run like any higher end phone fine.

AnonD-718697, 27 Nov 2017Well God damn dude what did u do to your J3 because mine fu... moreWell, it's not the best, but it's not the worst. It has a beautiful screen, and only 1.5gb of RAM. Which may cause it to lag, but for most people who are using it for calls, texts, emails, Facebook etc. It's totally great! It's 1/3 the cost of the galaxy S8. So what do you expect? Otherwise, if you are having an issue with the wifi, etc, you may have a faulty phone, if you are under contract, it should be under warranty. Anyway, I would recommend oneplus. They have great phones and they cost less, you can get a 3t for around 350-450. It has 6gb of RAM, so game on. Good luck all! Make sure you put a good case on your phone!

I purchased a J3 Emerge a month ago from Boost Mobile. It has spent the majority of that time at Samsung repair in Plano Texas, Boost Mobile continues to charge me for service when the phone is 1.000 miles away. Boost Mobile is totally incompetent! You only get apologies from agents when you call them. Never can get a supervisor. My J3 Emerge is an attractive paperweight.

I bought this low-tier phone as I sold my iPhone 6s+ to get the iPhone X when it comes out. I worked on the chipset for this phone and I am surprised at how slow it is. Must be using cheap slow memory as our development phones were much faster that this. It's kind of sad but then I guess that is why it only cost 150$ new.

This phone is absolute crap. Dont waste your time or money on this phone. Battery is 2600mah, BUT NO QUICK CHARGE!!! So it takes forever to charge. Also, for some reason, my WiFi speed is terrible on this phone. Whenever I download anything, it downloads at about 1mbps even though my Internet speed is 70mbps down. Every other device is getting the 70 down except this phone. Also, gold luck running games, it stutters and freezes a lot. Speaker is on the right side of the phone, weird position first of all, but the speaker is not loud at all. I've also seen a couple people with this phone try to make a phone call and the person on the end of the line couldn't hear the person talking on this phone. The ONLY positives I can think of about this phone is that its a amoled screen and the front is pretty attractive. The back is ugly but the front looks good. There's a lot more that makes this phone a terrible choice but I'll stop now. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with this phone for a hear because its on contract. But I'm buying an unlocked LG V20 off eBay for $200 (which is cheaper than this phone)
