    I have used several samsung phones. But i didnt see a horrible phone like this by samsung. Frankly speaking this doesn't value for money. No screen protection glass. Just plastic glass. Though samsung says it is capable of playing HD videos, it cant play HD videos. You can check for yourself. Heats a lot while browsing internet or playing games. Design is old. No super Amoled screen. So colours are not good. You can check these things. The one and only good thing in this phone is the battery life. It is not excellent. But it is good. It can last 1.5 days in normal usage. Dont get me wrong. It is not the best battery life. Overall I am very disappointed with this phone. I had to re-sell it for a very low price. I hardly could cover just half the amount that i paid to purchase this phone.

        caperbrad, 11 Dec 2014I cannot find the radio on the SM-386-W. If anyone can help that would be appreciated. You have to sacrifice FM radio for a bigger ram and internal storage than other versions of core lte.
        Try installing tuneinradio, it can search all local and worldwide stations for you. It requires internet but you don't need a earphone plugged in to listen to it.

            caperbrad, 11 Dec 2014Is there or where is the radio on a SM-386-W?It doesn't have a FM radio, but other versions of core lte do, like the G386F or G3518,but they have only 8g of internal storage.
            Try installing tuneinradio, it can search all the local and worldwide stations for you. I have that installed on my G386W and it works really well. It requires internet but doesn't need a earphone plugged in like the onboard FM radio.

                If you like to go on the phone then I don't reccommend this at all, the microphone sucks. I don't reccommend this phone for anyone at any age. I currently have this phone and I don't like it at all. The camera also sucks. When you're on the phone you have to yell loud and when you're trying to listen to music, at some points it won't work so you'll need to turn it off and turn it back on.

                  md, 13 Nov 2014Disappointing. First one just died in week #2. Replacement still working...HOWEVER, I bought... moreThat is not uncommon. Unlimited text is usually just that, TEXT. Attachments and pictures are significantly larger pieces of information to transfer by comparison

                                  Been using this phone for a few days now and I'm pretty impressed. I would never use it for heavy gaming or photo-taking, but if you're like me and would prefer a basic smartphone at a low price that still beats most of the lower end offerings from Huawei, Alcatel and the like, this is a good choice.
