This is my first smartphone and was nervous about purchasing this one, but your review was very good, and I think it will do fine by me...all I have to do now is learn how to use it. I appreciate all of the information you fit in 26 minutes, and watching you handle the phone was quite helpful.
Awesome review.... THANKS for the posting! The phone does lack (what I consider important) is a LED indicator light to let you know you've missed a call, Text message/Email etc.
Don't blame them, maybe they just can't, maybe they have other priorities. Why not get a summer job for students or something similar, maybe you can make the money for it yourself, it's not very expensive.
2018 and I got this as a back up on Straight Talk for $32.31. I'll be checking it out in a few days. It comes with Android Marshmallow 6.0. I hope I am able to download and use all my apps! Great review Nick!
Looking to maybe ditch my current phone that's almost 4 years old for this phone since it's currently on sale for $49 (which is great on my budget). The only thing I have heard that gives me mixed thoughts on it is people saying they cannot get or send picture messages with text. My current phone started out fine with picture messages, now I'll get a 12 hour delay on receiving them or I don't get videos at all either. I saw people saying they had to turn off the WiFi to download picture messages. Did you ever encounter that issue? Just curious before I buy it & find out I hate that portion of it lol. Great review!
I've had it for over a year now and it still runs great, pretty snappy, but it does lag for like half a second from time to time. I am gonna get the s6 soon, and since I put a case on the phone since I got it, looks good as the day I got it so I'm just gonna hand it down to my not so tech savy mom who doesn't really care about having the best phone.
I had one of these for a week. I sat on it. I cracked the internal screen. I loved this phone because it was my first Samsung Galaxy phone/device. Edit: I had Marshmallow on it brand new.
Keith Gagnon So lucky! Mine (which I'm typing this with now) comes with Android 5.1.1 and 8GB of data. But, TBH, I feel that is enough and with OneDrive preloaded, I can store most files onto that.
I went from an iPhone to this phone, and am super happy. The only thing that isn't up to par is the speaker, the iPhone sounds like a stereo compared to this. However when I'm listening to music I pair it to my Bose mini 2 speaker so it doesn't matter.
I have the galaxy express prime, same form factor, almost the same phone. I found the form factor to be alright, it was a little too thin for my taste, I suggest you put a case on this phone and a screen protector. The case will add some thickness and extra gripiness. keeps the phone from falling out of my hand. Duraglass makes a good screen protector for this model.
Great review! I've got a Note 3 and my grandson keeps wanting it. He's only 9 but quite the techy guy, so I think this is the phone for him without breaking the bank. I had bought him a Coolpad Rouge at Walmart that turned out to be a piece of junk. You can buy these at Samsung's website Unlocked for $129.00.
Nick ,my bro has this ,but here in Europe it comes with 8gb ROM sadly ,the cam is "better" but tbh what i see here , ur pic look way better so thats kinda strange lol .. anyway what i wanted to ask is , considering the 8gb ROM here ,with about 4gb free , is that enough for a few broadcasting apps ,+ insta + twitter + 5-6 random not too heavy apps? Cause im afraid of the free space mostly ,my other option is the J5 2016.
Youjellybro0 i aim ,i feels much more premium then the J3 ,it has a metal on the sides if u know what i mean , the buttons are amazingly clicky ,and it works generaly great so far ,i have it for about a month and a half now and btw merry xmas :)
Nick please tell what use is it when one can NOT even switch the device on ? ! YES you heard it right ....I find the power button now run my finger nails along the side where the power button should be in order to locate it . ..I feel no protrusions whatsoever on it .So am i to >a)find an instrument to operate it ..b) to use torch to see it ? common sense tells me that this device is not fit for purpose and should never have been allowed on the market ! and as for the rest of its capabilities ,the same can be said of it but even worse it is devoid of some essential features, leave alone fundamental features which disqualifies for its audacity to be called a smartphone .
I'm curious. My husband always buys a budget smartphone cause he's in construction and tired of breaking $1000 phones!!! So he decided to just get himself the prepaid phones and swap the sim chip when/if he needs a new phone. Anyhow. We have AT&T. And he purchased the Express Prime Galaxy... the screen is amazing. It's better then my iPhone 6s Plus! Only thing that's not so great is the camera. So when I go to his gmail, and see the devices logged in. It says Samsung J3 2016 instead of saying the Samsung Express Prime Galaxy. Soooo I am assuming they are the same phone... with different names? Would I be assuming correctly?
They're similar but not the same phone ! Samsung Express Prime Galaxy is a cheaper phone than the Samsung Galaxy J3. Maybe your husband is confused about what he bought :p
Alexis # actually when you go into the phone information setting. It says Samsung J3. Also when he logged into FB from it he got an email that said his FB was by a Samsung J3. The outside says Express Prime. But we called for trouble shooting for something and they said it's a J3! Confused. Maybe! But not by our fault!!! Lol. By Samsung! And every cell company that sells the same phone under a different name. However they too are said to be the J3!!! Either way. It works for him! I'm an iPhone gal! He doesn't care as long the phone works!!!!
I have my Samsung Galaxy J3 listed on E-Bay. I am awaiting the arrival of my brand new J7. I ordered it from HSN (Home Shopping Network). The J3 lags too much for me. At times, it is too slow. Every day, the device freezes (at least once).
hello sir,i have gone through 3 LG X Power phones,1rst original phone,water damage,1rst replacement phone,it was malfunctioning wrong,3rs replacement,could nt get wifo connection and camera quit working...I had it in protective case/hard tempered screen protector,how does Samsung brand compare with lg brand?is Samsung a better brand?..i also had protection plan on the phones
i have challeng in updating software, always giving me that the device storage is full. also I cannot download applications because the device memory dos not give me opportunity to put it in sd card
Hello! I need some help. I bought Samsung Galaxy J3 2days ago.But I cant used. I cant insert my sim card and it not fitted on the phone. What kind of Samsung J3 I can used my sim card and can used for travelling just in case I used the other sim card. Can you help me?
can it do quick messaging? like when texting or Facebook messaging the little bubble so you can just easily message without having to exit what your in.
can it connect to my wifi? im curious because my samsung j3 galaxy on december 15th and this samsung is gonna be my 8th device because i keep on breakin it atleast ill have 3 devices 1laptop 1ipad and 1samsung i wonder if ill get 4 because my sister said she didnt want it and idk if shes joking or not so i might get 4 devices :D
Actually it says dual sim J3 2016 not sure what or I should say why it's dual sim. I have no clue. I haven't used an android device since I had a mytouch slide. In like 2009! And then went to an iPhone. And been with an iPhone ever since. But I do love the AMOLED screens on the Galaxy's
My work colleague got one of these to replace her S3. She hates it; poor camera, not much storage (8gb version in the uk) and lags like hell after just a few months.
His doesn't have lollipop. It runs marshmallow 6.0.1 I just checked it. But it says Samsung J320-A when I look at it his gmail to see how many devices are logged in.
It works and it s good but not totally compatible with every wifi router (it wont connect to my router and i have other phones, samsung, ipad, and nokia which can connect to it), so there is some hw issues with wifi but i tried other wifi and it worked.
Hey can anyone help. Ive got storage space keep telling me storage full but i dont have lots apps n pics 😕 only few apps n pics as ive been clear pics gallery! Help! Ive got samsung galaxy j3 2016 too
I'm watching this video in 2019 on the 2016 Samsung galaxy j3

Don't blame them, maybe they just can't, maybe they have other priorities. Why not get a summer job for students or something similar, maybe you can make the money for it yourself, it's not very expensive.
i just got this as my first phone, YAY!
ZmardyBanzStudios Whats it like?
ZmardyBanzStudios I'm watching on a $20 phone
ZmardyBanzStudios bruh, my first phone too but 1.5 GB is too little to work with. I hate 8GB of storage. 32gb or more suits me.
I hate my j3 replacing it with a a70
ME TOO!!!
2018 and I got this as a back up on Straight Talk for $32.31. I'll be checking it out in a few days. It comes with Android Marshmallow 6.0. I hope I am able to download and use all my apps! Great review Nick!
Broke my s7 edge and using it as back up. I will say im not as disappointed as i should be coming from an s7 edge. This is not a bad phone
Really great explanation on this phone. Thanks.
Great review👍
Ahhh, the removable backs back in the day... I kind of want that again.... the storage was an issue on this one tho... I had that in 2017...
Very under rated. Keep it up man nice work.

Nice video Nick! you just using iPhone to record and the video quality is very nice keep it up👍. subbed😊

Me too
Yeah..me too..;-;

my j3 came with 16 GB and Android 6.0.1 love it
Keith Gagnon So lucky! Mine (which I'm typing this with now) comes with Android 5.1.1 and 8GB of data. But, TBH, I feel that is enough and with OneDrive preloaded, I can store most files onto that.
+Comeexz SAME!
Keith Gagnon I got mine last weekend and it has 16 GB and Android 7.0. Definitely loving it so far.
Awesome Haley what ? what provider is it 2016 or 2017
I have a j3 and it has android 5.1.1
wait wait.. isn't 8 megapixel rear camera?? u guys should check that.. 5 megapixel is the front.. wtf
Not on this boost mobile version, the J3 is slightly different depending on which model you pick up!
This was my first phone. Glad it was
I went from an iPhone to this phone, and am super happy. The only thing that isn't up to par is the speaker, the iPhone sounds like a stereo compared to this. However when I'm listening to music I pair it to my Bose mini 2 speaker so it doesn't matter.
Give the 4K option time to appear :)
Nick Ackerman nice video nick
Awesome review ☺
+Moni Nikolov Thank you much!
Please tell me how do I make screen split
i am watching this on my j 3 2016 😊

"So how do those pictures look?" Like its 2012 lmfao.
i have Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 edition ..i love it!
I have challenge with the applications update because of the device storage of 8gb that is too small
This particular model has 16GB which model do you have?
Nick Ackerman mine is dual sim Samsung Galaxy j3 (2016) 8gb
it is model number SMJ320H
I have the same phone
Great review! I've got a Note 3 and my grandson keeps wanting it. He's only 9 but quite the techy guy, so I think this is the phone for him without breaking the bank. I had bought him a Coolpad Rouge at Walmart that turned out to be a piece of junk. You can buy these at Samsung's website Unlocked for $129.00.
Because i'm getting one somewhere this week as a surprise
Thank you Nick, I am finally breaking away from the forbidden fruit Samsung I’d the way forward.

I have j3 6 and I love it 😍
I have a J3 Emerge now (even though its 2017 now) It has the software of the Note 7 when it came out
very good phone
I have it myself but my only regret is the ram because, it'll lag every once in a while for me too. I also have marshmallow (at&t variant)
ah ok! thank you Nathan for the info
the rear camera is 8mpx,it isn?
and a front is 5.
I Have j3 like that ;)
Spinxi 21 It varies. The one he has has a camera with less megapixels but has more storage.

Thomas ~~~ and... ?
Nick ,my bro has this ,but here in Europe it comes with 8gb ROM sadly ,the cam is "better" but tbh what i see here , ur pic look way better so thats kinda strange lol .. anyway what i wanted to ask is , considering the 8gb ROM here ,with about 4gb free , is that enough for a few broadcasting apps ,+ insta + twitter + 5-6 random not too heavy apps? Cause im afraid of the free space mostly ,my other option is the J5 2016.
Maybe it's too late but I could have over 1000 photos, around 20 songs, and 20 apps before it got full.
Youjellybro0 its too late hehe ,i got the J5 2016
iceman 7 Ah, I hope you're happy with it :)

Merry christmas to you too :D
Best simple phone ever...

Nick please tell what use is it when one can NOT even switch the device on ? ! YES you heard it right ....I find the power button now run my finger nails along the side where the power button should be in order to locate it . ..I feel no protrusions whatsoever on it .So am i to >a)find an instrument to operate it ..b) to use torch to see it ? common sense tells me that this device is not fit for purpose and should never have been allowed on the market ! and as for the rest of its capabilities ,the same can be said of it but even worse it is devoid of some essential features, leave alone fundamental features which disqualifies for its audacity to be called a smartphone .
proximity sensor between the speaker grill and the front camera and no light sensor.
I'm curious. My husband always buys a budget smartphone cause he's in construction and tired of breaking $1000 phones!!!

I'm an iPhone gal! He doesn't care as long the phone works!!!!
Although the bad reviews and the people against the SJ3 it's a nice phone indeed. :)
Is this phone a good phone to have in 2018 and will it still work well with apps and look nice in 2020??
This was my second phone, i got it for free when we switched operators
Its screen is super and i have also a this phone j3
