This is a very good phone! I've had this black J3 for a couple of months now.
This is a really fast phone with good cameras.
Nothing negative, but only the memory is small. An SD card will fix it.

        I bought my phone a month ago . Last week we went on a trip everything was fine but after the battery drained off and I kept it in my pants and slept,,the screen got damaged due to unknown reasons. Cracked from inside!! Though it didn't experience any shock or high pressure . Dunno the reason. Rest all is fine with it. Next drawback is money . It cost me nearly the cost of the phone just to get the screen replaced. And same as others.. system drawback is annoying. Anyone suggest how to update to android 6.

                  Worst phone I've ever had,got mine and husbands in December 16,not even a week later we were not receiving tests or calls,turned phones off to rebootand all seemed well then we had to do it again and again and again every 2 weeks or so, rang customer service and they offered to swap phones like for like,I was not happy with this as I assumed it was a problem with this model and they assured me it wasn't, it must be because we have the same issues as the previous phones.been into 3 shop they don't know what the problem is,never heard of it they said.although customer service was good.I still think we should have had different models but they wouldn't do that,after 15 years of being loyal 3 customers I'm afraid when our contract is due for renewal in 18 months time 😡 we shall be going elsewhere,as loyalty doesn't seem to count

                    Galaxy J3 2016 there is not a good reason to install an app from Google Store if you use the we site instead. I did it with Yahoo and my financial institution then a did "uninstall" the staa of the app saving internal/external storage. I will continue using this technique with the other sites that take internal storage on my phone.

                          I miss most incoming calls because of this. There must be a better way.

                            Why does the notification beep continue until you look at the message? Annoying

                              Yes, phone is little on the cheap side, put it is cheap.. And trust me i abused it for a 1 year now, and it holding strong. Memory of the phone is more than 90% full and SD card of 16GB is more than 90% full, and no glitches, a little lagging when 30 apps are open but you just close them, clean cash and ram and it works as now.. I used many budget phones last few years and none of them held up as good as this one..

                                Why you all that hate j3 2016 buy it? For €160 what do you want - a rocket? The phone have very good camera when you take pictures on daylight, at night pictures are bad but this is a phone no DSLR. Yes, the wifi signal breaks, if you conected bluetooth but that problem is because wifi and bluetooth work at the same signal - 2,4 GHz. Battery have good life no problems with charging. Screen is super. Which other phone with this price have super amOLED screen with HD resolution and protection with dragontrail glass? Oh and NFC - i'm from Bulgaria, Europe and there j3 phones have NFC and camera is 8MP. Only negatives are the sensors, no LED flash on front camera, plastic corpus, android lollipop(it's old) and no fingerprint. But for this price phone is Super!

                                        They say it's the bare basics, but it's even less. It's so stripped of basic functionality, like no gyro sensor that tells your GSP software which way you are facing ie no compass. It has so little in-built memory you'll be lucky to fit one decent game on there. Forget expending you storage, the phone insist on installing most of everything on the inadequate internal memory. This phone is worth $50, let alone the $300+ I paid for it. I wouldn't give this phone to my worst enemy. Avoid it like a disease' because that's how much grief it's going to cause you.
