I want a phone that allows me to use social media (facebook, instagram, tumblr,...etc) and takes good selfies and good photos. i'm not interested in games. and can make good phone calls and texts .and has a good net connection or the Internet is speed (whatever it is) . you can say for teenage girl usage. is this a good one?
(p.s I am on budget and this one is inexpensive )

AnonD-741806, 03 Mar 2018My last Samsung, i regret i buy this phone. Why USA get Android 6.0 and EU Android 5.1 and the... moreThere'are two versions of this phone :the one with exynos and the one with spreadtrum . The second one didn't get updated drivers beacuse spreadtrum . An forced update will turn the device into a brick 😕. So in conclusion we won't get an 6.0.1 update nor nougat update.

Hi, I have a european version of this J3 2016 and the problem is that this one is stuck on 5.1.1
The consequence is that one cannot really blend the external SD with internal memory.
Any suggestions?

These remarks are of the J3V so your milage may vary, but as for its cheaper end price, it does what you'd expect for the price. When new it ran great, but as time went on it got unbearably slow. Updating and downloading apps takes forever and severely slows the phone down, not to mention the back gets noticeably hot. The 5mp camera was absolute garbage and the battery wouldn't last an hour without dropping to 60-75% ... I could only recommend this phone if you planned on doing the basics such as call, text, and browsing the web. Otherwise save up for a newer higher quality phone.

I wanted a basic phone with some apps and basic internet.
This phone does all that.
But it comes with lollipop and that means you cant run apps of sd card. Some apps can be moved but that really does on move a portion of it not all.
The phone has 8gb memory which one would think is enough. But Samsung put so many stock standard apps like office on it which take all the space and it cant be uninstalled.
So if you install skype , whatsapp and facebook, you have about 700mb left.
Try to install anything else and you cant or you are in the enless annoyance with clearing cache and moving what you can to sd.
It is beyond me why samsung would release a produce which is not functional.
And alost 2 years later and still no update to later os update which will fix the issue.

Whilst the features and ease of use are good. The storage on the 8gb is shocking. Constantly wanting to update apps that are already on the phone . Ended up with nothing of my own (app wise)
Had to buy extra memory card to store photos but can't load apps on it.
In short if your after a phone that your hardly ever going to use then maybe this might do otherwise I'd avoid it (8gb) at all costs.

Hi, 10 Jan 2018Storage problem very hardyeah, you're right, i've been using this phone and the only problem is that the storage is small, and even if you pop in an sd card, samsung doesn't enable you to set the sd card as a default storage device.

Anonymous, 27 Jan 2018what about memory is 8 GB did you add extra memory card ? and camera resolution I personally use a 8gb memory card ( perfect capacity for music and photos ) I don't know what to say about the camera...the quality is not that bad , the photos look really good most of the time.

I have had mine for over a year now and the only negative for me is that there is one app for my car insurance company that will not work with it. But I have another phone that I use for that so I am fine with it!!

meow28, 19 Jan 2018yes it is ;)Hello, I want to buy this phone because it has remv. battery and it is with 1 sim. I want to ask:
1. EU SAR?? Because Samsung.com : 1.3, not 0.5
2. What about music quality? Is it good? I have htc a9s and its terrible.
3. What about battery life? I have htc a9s with 2300 and it online only for 2-3 hrs..
Thanks for any replay
