Have had this phone since mid 2018 and it hasn't disappointed me one bit. Everything runs perfectly fine, it's smooth and hasn't lagged or crashed at all save for some hickups which I blame on the apps I was using. The display is vibrant and durable. It doesn't perform great in bright sunlight, however, this is the first phone I didn't put a screen protector on and it hasn't gotten a single scratch, dent, or smudge. I can clean the screen and it would be as good as new. I've dropped it once or twice and it didn't retain any evidence of the fall. My phone often stands screen down even when I put it on hard surfaces. I've had my cat scratch it while watching cockroach videos and even a carnivore's claws seem to be informidable. Personally, I am impressed considering the price tag.

Battery life is more than enough for regular use. It can hold a full day of YouTube binging. It may struggle if you're travelling in which case I recommend bringing a power bank or making the most out of plane mode but all in all it could probably hold up for a full day even at full brightness. It charges quickly for a non-powercharge phone but next to even a 15W power charge it might be comparable to garbage. I don't need quick charge so that never bothered me.

Overheating hasn't been a problem even in the summer (summer weather being 35-40°C in the hottest days). The phone is relatively thin and disperses heat neatly and efficiently even through a thick case like the one I've dressed it in.

The stock headphones are relatively ok for music, and especially nice for podcasts or radio shows. ASMR sounds alright, too.

The only two problems I've had with it are the terrible dynamic range on the camera and the fact it comes with an indestructible Facebook application which can only be disabled. Knowing fb that wouldn't stop them from peeping and abusing. I would've paid an extra 30 bucks for no Facebook. The battery is non-removable but that's hardly a problem considering how easy it would be for a technician to change it. Even still, I will always show better appreciation to a phone with a removable battery.

    Had a J6 for about 2 years. Great phone, good battery life, have not had any issues with it.

                    Galaxy J6 2018 model received update (300+Mb), security february 2021 patch and optimizations for various components, on 25 march 2021, Romania:) Good experience, no problems after OTA Update. Still a good phone and battery is good after 2 years usage.

                                      Had this phone since Q1 2019. Still works perfectly. Battery life around 84%. Planning to buy a new phone which has almost the same size of this. What do you guys recommend? Im thinking S10e, A51 or Pixel 3, 4A.
