Hi. I have been using this phone since July, 2016 and it works perfectly fine. The only problem is as many have said the low storage and battery runs out very quickly for 2 days even though i use it only for call. I think to "upgrade" and buy a new phone. 5 years on android and liked it but i think to try iOS just to try something different, was thinking about iPhone 13 is this is a good choice?

    I bought this phone in early 2016 and use it daily. Good Amoled+colors, camera. The size is good, not too long, handy size.

    Google play, maps. 8Gt is enough for me, i need a few important apps, Bank, youtube, maps, yle areena, picture resizer. 50-60% ram is used.

    The phone is used every year at temperatures of -28 - +33c, also in humid weather in the forest

    Changing the battery takes 15-20 seconds. I bought 2 new batteries.

    I will use this phone here in Finland as long as it works.

            I bought the J5 (SM-J500F) a couple of months ago for $ 60 and immediately upgraded it to Android 10 (LineageOS 17). The wonderful AMOLED screen is very economical, the battery enough for 2 days (in standby mode - for 5 days). The 32GB SD card solved the problem with insufficient memory.

                I have been using this phone for 6 years now. Bought it in September 2015 (when I was 14) for a cheap price. And I must say it never let me down. Probably because I never updated it to version 6. It's still android 5.1.1. You know how corporations want to slow down old devices so you have to buy new ones. Well I gotta tell you this phone works just fine. It can still play videos no problem, I can browse internet, use apps. I don't play games, mobile gaming is trash. I guess I can say that I beat capitalism ;). Looking forward to use this phone as long as it can go. This phone is also pretty much unbreakable if you don't have an intend to break it.. I'm a careful guy I rarely drop my phone, but when i do It always survives the fall. The reason for that is because it has lid for the battery that you can take off . New phones break so easily because you can't open them they are one piece (like a bottle) you drop it, it brakes. This phone is more like a toy made from legos you drop it breaks into pieces, the battery and the lid comes off leaving the screen pretty much safe. This phone is not for everybody though. If you leave every app running on the background, don't clean useless files and optimize the phone regularly you will get pissed because it will slow down believe me. Battery still rocks.

                    I am using Samsung J5 (2015) since last September 2020. The good thing with this phone is even I'm always throwing and dropping it, it's still okay. No signs of damage andthe performance is still good. Even the screen is tough causeI try to drop it from 2nd floor of building but still no crack. But since I bought this phone, the battery is not charging up to 100%. It can only reach 96% or sometimes 93%. But I can use this phone all day

                      I have been using this phone for the past 4 years, and other than storage, this phone is great in every aspect, with no battery problem even after 4 years. If I fully charge it once it remained charged for 1.5 days straight. The body is very solid, just change your cover or screen protector once and our phone is as good as new. Just because of less storage I now have to buy a new phone otherwise I literally had no reason to discard this phone.

                        I love this phone. But i don't like the internal storage is 8GB.

                              This is my phone for the last 3+ years, it's great! But the updates have really taken over the storage and I can barely fit more than three apps in the phone and I have already disabled most built-in ones to clear storage.

                                    I have been using this since 2016 and so far I love it. the camera's nice, the only thing is the storage is very poor. I can't install a lot of apps which is I need.
