    This phone is really great it works perfectly I would recommend it to anybody it has a lot of details and some you probably wouldn't even know I've actually gotten surprised at some of the notifications because they are different than the regular Android phones again I would recommend this phone to anybody who's looking for something like a budget Samsung Galaxy phone even though it has the Silverback and it's kind of thicker than the other phones it is actually very light and it feels like it has soft glass on the front and it is very lightweight I like mine and I believe that you will like yours. Ironically it is very easy to use it doesn't have a lot of bulk like a lot of the other phones have it is just right down to business with the apps and the layout in the settings is really cool it's different might be a little confusing but it's just the way the phone is made I guess and I would have to say that it is better than the j3 2016 model. Honestly I've never had any of the S Series Samsung Galaxys but I have seen people who do have them and this phone definitely response to the same as those S-Series Fone maybe especially like the S6 Samsung Galaxy S6 well anyway again I would definitely recommend this phone also I have noticed that it does not really have too many glitches that I can see and it's marshmallow I believe is the operating system but again you would have to go to the store and look at it and see for yourself I think you would really fall in love with it 2-1 on it because again I really love mine J-3 2017.

    5.0 out of 5 stars So good I bought it twice
    Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I just bought my second J3. It's a great phone for it's price range. Of course it comes loaded with a bunch of apps I will never use that also take up about half of its memory space, but disabling them (and I probably get more mileage on this because I don't do Facebook or Twitter) frees up a good chunk of it. It's fast, and has good battery life; I can use it pretty much constantly all day off of one charge, and it's the perfect size (to me anyway, which is not so small you need reading glasses to see the screen even with 20/20 vision, and not so big you can't hold it and text in one hand). The rear camera is pretty good, the front camera is ~eh. Could be better, but I'm not much for selfies so it doesn't bother me. I bought my first J3 a year and a half ago when it was first released, and it actually still works great except for being a little bit slow, but I have a bad habit of keeping my phone in my pocket and lint got into the charging port, so the charger would never go all the way in. I probably could have gotten at least six more months out of it otherwise. If you're looking to upgrade from Virgin's cheaper phones but don't want to spend too much more, this is the best option out there for now.

    It doesn't have everything the more expensive Galaxies have, but it is very functional. In additional to using it as a phone, it has a well appointed developers section. Virgin Mobile has been excellent where ever I have traveled. Good product.

    1.0 out of 5 stars **DUMBFONE NOT SMARTPHONE** NO AUTO DIM! NANNYS GALORE!!! SLOW!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Final UPDATE: By far the worst smartphone ive ever owned. Ive ran several apps on my old lg volt that is ancient and its faster than this phone. This phone is buggy, slow, the gps struggles all the time and i do not have any bloatware or heavy apps. Running a class 10 sd card and eveything to try to make this phone perform basic functions smoothly and nothing. Ive ordered a newer phone and will finally be free of this POS. Heavy apps like games? Forget about it. Camera is terrible. Cell service is spotty and the phone falls flat on its face when trying to reconnect to the network. Screw this phone.

    There is NO auto dimming on this phone. Absolutely miserable when you're hungover or just waking up in early morning low light conditions and get blasted with eye melting light.

    This phone shouldn't even be called a galaxy. The LG I toasted was seriously better in every way. The menus and options are annoying to navigate on such a small screen. Buttons are stiff and clicky for really no reason.

    There is also no visual or sound indicator that you missed a call or text or have a new email etc. I.E. there's no flashing light or beeping to tell you a call or message has been missed.

    UPDATE: Phone drops data service and runs on 3G instead of LTE. Slow. Real Slow. Also connects to every other Wi-Fi network EXCEPT my home network. It's not a setting. I looked. Have to choose my own HOUSE wi-fi each time!!!!

    Want to turn the volume on your headphones or aux connection? "~Listening to music at high volume can cause damage". Makes you hit "OK" every time before raising the volume. No options to make this permanent. Really annoying when you just want to turn the volume up during an intense workout or while turning the volume up on GPS when driving.

    TLDR: Get another phone.

    Want a simple smart phone at a great price, this is your phone. I have an s8 galaxy and just bought this phone as a second, and it is pretty much just as good. Virgin isn't the best plan, but for the price, no contacts, it works well for me. Virgin mobile doesnt work well in bad cell areas, but that is not a big issue for me. If you plan on signing up with virgin mobile but don't want an i phone, or to pay for one, buy now because by the end of the year you will only be able to buy an i phone from virgin. Don't worry, you will still be able to use this phone, or any other droid, just activate it before the year's end.
