    Ok. People who says that Spreadtrum model of J3 won't receive android update because there are drivers only for 5.1.1 Lollipop, can you explain how J2 2016 with the same processor is shipping with android 6.0.1 Marshmallow?

                The spreadtrum chipset is really good for this phone, especially the cpu ,1.5ghz. The only thing that makes this phone lag sometimes is the gpu , that is a very old one, the Mali-400. If it had MaliT720 it was better. Also if you root it it will not lag anymore because you can remote bloatware. Also lollipop does not eat much storage and ram as newer versions and battery drain is low.

                    I have this phone for more than a year already. Didnt experience any problems until recently when it strts to lag badly. Sucks it doesnt have any software upgrade, forever stuck with lollipop. I have no choice but to upgrade to a new phone. Phones these days dont last that long especially with how fast the evolution of technology is.

                              My phone has Android 5.1.1, could someone tells me how to upgrade at least to Android 6.0? I couldn't root it successfully with Kingroot so to link/move apps on externals SD with Apps2SD or Force2SD. I need Android 6.0 as I read that it supports external SD to be set as primarily install location and the problems with decreasing space of internal SD to be solved. Now I have 6 GB free on external but can't install more apps because I have 500 MB free on internal.

                                    Globe_Agent, 20 Nov 2017May I know if Samsung Galaxy J3 is duos or not?Depends on the actual model, different versions can be distributed over the countries. So the answer is YES, but make sure and double check when you buy, my suggestion is put 'dual' when you search, and after, again, double check the description of the model on the target list
