              bought one for 3 euros, its crazy smooth on its stock os. you probably could get away with this with just texting and really basic social media usage. i wouldn't dare throwing tiktok at this

                      I got this for free from my uncle. It still holds up really well in 2025. TikTok runs smooth, Instagram same, YouTube same and WhatsApp same. The camera is decent, still a lot better than 50 bucks 2025 phones. You can easily use this as a daily driver. I personally love the phone

                                    Still my daily driver pushing eight years now. Original battery at 66% still gets about 3 hours of SOT. Fingerprint sensor still faster than a lot of newer in-screen ones.

                                      My very first Samsung phone, which I had during my college days, unfortunately got stolen.

                                      Google Maps recently reminded me of an older photo I had taken with this phone on January 9, 2018.
