    This phone met most of my needs!
    As for not needing it as an actual day-to-day phone, it actually ran really well!
    For once, I could actually run my games on a phone!

        Manufactured e-waste 👍🏻 Mine lagged badly on Youtube and it could barely run Minecraft at a stable 15 fps. Thanks God I had to use this piece of garbage for only like 1 and a half year

                            My hands hold the 8gb model so I put my games on an SD card. I like how the 2600mAh battery can survive all day without a charge since I do not overwork it. Snappy performances with 5.11 installed. The camera is also good. Cute, reliable phone. Good job Samsung!

                              Here it's atrociously priced and I'm pretty disappointed with Samsung's One UI tbh.
                              Currently using a Nokia 8 (which I got for the same price I paid for this phone back in 2016!!) The only things I miss are the FM Radio, OLED display and removable battery. But those compromises are manageable imho

                                Minu, 04 Jan 2023Simply practical I have this same phone (and it's still like new). As far as a phone, and texting... it's efficient enough. However, the OS is "EXTREMELY" outdated, it's slow as molasses... and I can only have a small handful of apps installed... due to the lack of memory storage (and I don't use ANY social media apps). I'm looking at getting a new phone (finally)! The Samsung Galaxy S22 is being offered for a really good price, and it has a LOT of features the J3 doesn't have. I recommend looking into it!!!

                                    Tim, 14 Aug 2022i can't use 3 fingers just 2 is there any way to add or like recognize the third touch?Unfortunately no, it only detects 2 fingers. Adding a multi-touch display wouldn't cure Samsung's greed to put a premium price on low quality products.
