Anonymous, 13 Jun 2017How do u check d 6.01 marshmallow stuff??Look for settings/click updates/the update could tell you which Android Version which for me is just now the Nougat 7.1. But there is another way -- Settings/About Phone/Android version. There it will tell you its installed version . Although mine at this still gives 6.0.1, it is still updating the phone info, since, my update info stated that I do actually have the 7.1 Nougat Android Operating System (OS). It currently is at 6.0.1, so I believe it has the Exynos hardware (bought it in North America) in 2017. I just recently turned it on and I received 2 updates for security patches. Unless you just want basic talk & text & wifi, I frankly would not recommend it. Now that it has been updated with stated fixes to New battery management, Easier Multitaasking , & Preview photo effects & filters. They just came, so I do not know how all this will spell out in the long run.
...

As for pix, definitely needs daylight unless the 7.01 Nougat update fixed that. I paid it off and am using another phone now. It will be an interesting phone for experiments. I read that more memory space can be gained by going to factory re-set, and then disabling all the bloat ware, minus what you might like. I am inclined to do that with this experiment phone.

As for my J3 (2016 year)_ I belive it would be the same way. It currently is at 6.0.1, so I believe it has the Exynos hardware (bought it in North America) in 2017. I just recently turned it on and I received 2updates for security patches. Unless you just want basic talk & text & wifi, I frankly would not recommend it.

Asked this is XDA but still no reply.:( Hope someone here could help.

I have not rooted Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) SM-J320FN, last actualized this January. These days I downloaded on it and on my rooted Lenovo A1000 some .apks from apkpure. The ones that names contain unicode and ascii characters remained like zero bytes files with no permissions (MD5Operation failed). But they indeed occupy space on the devices. I managed to clear the rooted device with Root Explorer by JRummy Apps and the space on it increased. But I can't clear my Samsung. The files are over 200 MB. I very much need this space to be freed.

Hello everyone! Bought this a couple of days ago and the light for the back and recent apps buttons does not work. I have searched everywhere in the settings and installed a couple apps from the store,still nothing. The phone is brand new. Is it possible that it doesn't have lighted buttons from the factory?

I've had this phone for 2 years and its actually fine.. i have some problem in the memory system because my phone always warn me that my memory is full and sometimes i can't open my gallery. Actually this phone is good with inexpensive prize. But my problem starts from last week.. i wiped my phone with wet tissues but on the next day my phone can't be touched.. i still can turn on the phone but to turn off the phone i should take of the battery. So be careful because this phone is sensitive with water.. i hope this is helping :)

This phone is great! This is second J3 smartphone. Perfect for my life. Intuitive and easy to use.
However I do have a question. Is this phone a dual band? We have 5g wifi at my office and unable to access it. Any ideas? Thanks.
