I got this as a gift from a cousin. I used to own a Galaxy E7 which I have been using since 2015, It started falling apart recently and hence my cousin's gift.
The thing I found especially surprising is how similar this phone is to my old one. It's been 3 years and there isn't anything particularly different about the 2 phones. The camera performance is more or likely the same apart from the different take on skin tones - I actually hate this new take.
The performance doesn't feel any smoother as the games I used to play on the other phone plays almost similar to this one - Horrible for playing the latest big games like Pubg.
The display looks awesome though and the new Dolby Atmos does indeed makes a difference. The newer Version of Android does bring a few changes and the new Samsung UI does bring a few goodies too, like the theme support.
The phones has gotten a bit thick but the battery life remains the same - Good Enough for 6 hours of SOT of average usage.
All in all - I am quite disappointed. I was under the impression Smartphones developed leaps and bounds every year but apparently that isn't the same in the budget segment of Samsung.
I really hope it pulls through for the next 2 years. *Crosses finger !

      I love this phone!!! As an "entry level" smartphone it's got all the bells and whistles. And for those in the budget arena like I am, this is a go go!!
      It's cute, sleek, beautiful screen resolution, amazing sound (put em earphones in and you're transported), stunning camera! 13mp...it's a dol :)

                    Screen breaks easily and Samsung charges US $90 to replace. Rubbish phone not the usual samsung quality.

She is really happy with it, but it doesn't give you the option to move apps to SD card. However, you can go to Local Storage & move data to SD card from there, so it's not a big issue.

                          Personally, I consider Samsung more reliable even though Huawei is fine as well, but if you want an answer without personal bias, I'd say go for Huawei Y7. Its battery & stuff is great but main reason I say Huawei Y7 is because of its GPU. J4 can run games fine, but its GPU is too weak to maintain 30 FPS in games like PUBG. You should aim for Exynos 7870 & SD 435 above if you want it to be able to maintain FPS in heavy games.

                          Btw, also have a look at Asus Zenfone Max Pro (M1) ZB601KL
