Samsung Galaxy Express Prime - User Reviews

  • Do you need a Simms card to charge the battery and how do you turn it on.

  • How does the microphone make your audio sound compared to other galaxy phones?

  • You probably shouldn't test it out.

  • Some extra notes about the AT&T GoPhone version of this device: * Upgradeable to Android 7.1.1 * Android 7 update disabled FM Radio :( * Supports USB OTG

  • It does all the smartphone things, but not particularly well.

  • This phone does everything your so-called "big boy phone" does, at a fraction of the cost.

  • This phone was an emergency wal mart replacement when my previous phone was broken. I bought it 9 months a go and finally purchased myself a "big boy phone" and getting rid of this thing. This phone would great for your grandmom or your toddler who will only be using it to make phone calls. This thing is filled with so much uninstallable bloatware, that installing just a couple extra apps and taking a couple pictures will fill this thing completely up. The only good thing about this phone that I can think of, is the battery life is pretty decent. Thats about it.

  • I like this phone, but I agree with you......the camera could be better...is this phone outdated??

  • I can confirm this phone gets the Android Nougat update.

  • I can not use shareit in this phone.It is a good phone but if u do not share any thing then it would not be good.I don 't know what's the problem.If any one answer me how I will use shareit it will be very help full for me.

  • I don't think so. It seem like a phone of middle range, phones with MHL incorporate frecuently are hight range phones.

  • I can not figure out how to screen mirror this phone? So I have discovered an MHL adapter but before buying I want to know if this phone supports MHL?

  • I've had this l phone for months. It is great! My daughter has a S7 sport and I don't feel I'm missing out. I guess it depends what you use it for. Texting and YouTube and talking work great. I bought a storage card for photos. Love it!

  • For the price, this is one awesome phone... It has plenty of features, and is very customizable... The screen resolution is amazing... Can`t comment on the durability yet, haven`t had it that long... But for the price and the performance, you can`t go wrong.

  • dvd?

  • Got one today, cracked screen on hour later. Got second one, cracked sreen too. Not very tough phone. A dvd would be tougher than this phone structurally. Really think that I should not have gotten it. Shame, though. It is my first smart phone, and probably my last for years to come. Shabby quality, and too much work to set up.

  • Does this phone support HFP in Bluetooth?

  • It's a great phone and I'd buy again! -Power User-

  • No phone is water proof... only water resistant. And if you spill a little water or something on it it is fine, you can't just throw it into the atlantic ocean and expect it to survive. If you get a good case however, its a lot more resistant.

  • in safelink sir we do have 3 carriers that would be at&t tmo and Verizon

  • They use other towers also not to mention at and t , Verizon, sprint etc. P.S. I work in safelink as an agent

  • You need to call safelink in order for your new sim card to be updated in the system. it will not work unless you will call them to update it.

  • It is compatible with all share? I have all share dongle and i cant put videos or images on my tv? Any sugge...

  • safelink uses t-mobile as a carrier. you need to change the default at&t APN settings to t-mobile's APN settings. google "t-mobile apn settings".

  • deleted.

  • I just got one today with AT& T and I am not having any problems...I so far I don't think I have talk text cause I haven't seen it which is kind of a bummer but for this price I can deal with it.

  • i have this phone. my carrier is safelink, i cant send or receive text messages. safelink sent me a SIM card, stll cant send or receive text messages. trying to find out what is the problem

  • I'm having a data call problem... When ever I try to make a call using internet connection on whatsapp or facebook, once I enter the app or my screen locks it starts to reconnect until I unlock my screen or go back into the app

  • Probably you were putting your finger on the microphone beside the charging port.. This happened to me first time using it.

  • My camera is great!! This is the best phone ive ever had. Ive had many. I dont like iphones at all!! I LOVE the Galaxy express prime!! I definitely love the price. Can't imagine paying $800 for the same exact phone.

  • Mine has surrvived almost everything. Water has no effect yet... although I do not suggest submersion!

  • Is this a good phone ?

  • Is there a way to make the camera better?

  • Is there a way to make the camera better??

  • No it's not

  • is this phone water proof??

  • Does the phone has OTG function? Is the phone camera compatible with UVC?

  • Maybe type 'you' instead of 'u'. Just a suggestion.

  • I was having a problem with people being able to hear me when I made a call. I could hear them, but they couldn't hear me. But when I would receive a call everything was fine. Turned off Google Speach Recognition and so far everything is fine.

  • I have the same exact issue

  • Does this phone have problems with excepting the way you text? If I start a text with "u" it always replaces it with "i" any comments?

  • You have to turn off okay Google voice recognition. This solves the microphone volume or gain problem where people can't hear you.

  • I've dropped this phone so many times (I have a screen protector on it too) and it has never broken. For a person who uses a lot of storage, I suggest you buy a micro SD card :)

  • This phone is built to be screen-centric. It is more for entertainment rather than photos or selfie. See the superamoled and HD display. Its very amazing pair with decent ram and battery.

  • The extra volume button during calls helped me out

  • Yes this phone supports hot spot.....

  • Yes! I used it recently and it works fine.

  • does this phone have a hot spot?

  • which market is this phone released for? will it come to Philippines?

  • This would have been absolutely the perfect phone for me if the camera didn't suck so badly. All of the other specs are great and I bought this phone in hopes that I could at least take a decent snapshot every now and then. The camera is just terrible Samsung!!!!

  • Thanks mate i was actually seriously worried

  • It must be laggy. Androlag needs at least 2GB to do common multitasking like email, browsing, im, etc.

  • Yes the phone can download Pokemon Go

  • Why can't people hear me when I make calls? Really like my Express Prime. But frustrated with calls. Phone is onle a couple months old. Any suggestions would be great.

  • Phone is compatibles with nano sim, not with micro sim.

  • It's Great sometimes trash

  • Does this phone can get wet?

  • I have purchased this phone 3 times. Although it is a good phone, I noticed that when I am on a call, the caller sounds muffled but when I put them on speaker, they sound more clear. I thought it was just the phone, but when I exchanged it for the same one, it did the same thing. I exchanged that one for another and the same problem. Even if I turn down the volume on the phone when it isn't on speaker, it still sounds muffled.

  • Yes, I just downloaded it today. It works.

  • This phone takes a nano-sim, not a micro-sim

  • No it don't I have express prime my gear s2 won't connect

  • Yes

  • can the phone download pokemon go

  • I like the phone, but it doesn't take MicroSIM cards, it takes NanoSIMs. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Overall, it a great phone.

  • Hy plz tell me about hanging and heating problem and what is the problem off apps to sd card

  • Does this phone can get wet?

  • Yup!

  • I just got this phone. Didn't have to pay tax! Thanks New Hampshire! I've read great reviews. Hope it lasts like my old Motorola. Its better than the J series yet less expensive. Wicked cool!

  • This phone uses nano sim, not micro sim.

  • I like it's 42Mbps HSPA and cat4 LTE. Fullfill my network requirement..

  • plz tell me. Its app manager memory and its performance.

  • i want this phone

  • I have this phone (AT&T) and I can confirm that its a nano-SIM. I'm impressed with the speed of this upper-low to lower-mid range phone.

  • does OTG works in this phone?? please...

  • does this phone support OTG ?

  • no, it uses a micro sim card

  • Why Samsung is not giving gorilla glass with j5, j7, On7 models which have better camera and other good specifications

  • It is a good phone for the money but the bad thing is you have to download an app to SD to save your apps and documents to the SD card, ROME could be 2 gigs but it does work fine. I had an LG G3 which messed up and LG refused to fix it, no damage to the phone what do ever, I always but a screen protector and a case cause I take care of my things. I specifically ask the salesman fit a cheap good phone that can save my documents and apps to the SD card will come to find out if only saves music and pictures, so you have to download a app to SD card age then it still don't download all your apps to save space on your device, but all in all it is a good phone, and yes Samsung you do need to stop putting old processors in your new phones when the new processors are faster and better, like the A7 processor is slow for most games but it does the job. One bad thing is you can't change the font color, I'm open to any suggestions. Thx yall

  • Same chipset used in 4.5-inch J1 and 4.7-inch J2... The original Express used Krait processor, then this use an outdated A7 based processor that has been used in most Samsung. Come on Samsung stop making too many phones a year!

  • It's an okay phone. Camera could be better. And it could use more ram but all and all it's a good phone. With the corning gorilla glass 4 I have dropped it 6 or more times on to cement wood floors etc. And the glass has stood strong not a scratch at it. I give it a 7/10 due to camera only being 5MP

  • Does anyone know if the Galaxy Express Prime will work with Gear S or Gear S2?

  • What price would be ? 1. MEMORY 1.5 GB RAM (if more efficiency on 2gb ) 2. BATTERY Removable Li-Ion 2600 mAh battery (it would be 3000 mAh) ****Many of would be say camera must be better up to 8mp (it doesn't matter). As specification i love it........As perfect for me to buy.....

  • which market is this phone released for? will it come to bangladesh?

  • yes

  • Let's coming soon to Indonesia

  • I am sorry to hear about your loss, but with due respect, the attitude shown by the store keeper is dealer's matter, not Samsung's. Though you can say that Samsung has power, but after all, well the H.O is far away and cannot quite see how it's representatives are working. Unless, we customers tell them about it. And I am sure if you even e-mail to the H.O Korea they shall respond immediately. Good luck.

  • someone have experience about this new set. samsung galaxy express prime???

  • your right

  • The quality matters. After all, Samsung is better than Huawei or Infinix.

  • I have used J2...its quite satisfying to me.

  • Huawei have better phone in this range.5mp back and 2mp front what a waste

  • It is best seeing the price tag, by the way is it coming to Pakistan?

  • Would the 5 mp back shooter and the 2 mp front shooter be enough for you?

  • Just the device I need. When is it available in Kenya or Online?

  • its gud mobile

  • which market is this phone released for? will it come to Pakistan?

  • It's confirmed by AT&T that this phone uses NANO sim card. Please make a correction.

  • I like this phone because the ram, processers and the android OS is latest and very good but the disadvantage is the camera because the camera is of only 5mp and 2mp at front and the camera is same as Samsung galaxy j2

  • Hi all I was searching for phones in price ranges like Samsung Grand Prime/Core Prime/J1 2016/Express Prime. between all of these phones, This phone have the most best specifications. (maybe except it do not have NFC and it has 5MP Camera while Grand Prime have 8MP) This phone have great Resolution, Battery life, RAM (1.5GB), Latest OS, ... I just wish it had Withe color too. I hope it come into Iran sooner.

  • I want to know that is it beter than samsung galaxy j2

  • big thing...big internal memory.big battery ...big screen...but small camera resolution. wtf

  • Go for k5 plus

  • I bought Galaxy S 6phone on 22nd Nov, 2015 and was proud of it till 5 days back. Suddenly the phone stared swelling. I took it to Samsung dealer from Whom, I had bought this phone. He suggested that I stop using it forthwith and take it to service centre about 6 kms away. I did so and was advised that they will repair it but since all data will be lost, I should back up the data before giving it to them. I did so and again took the phone to them the next day. In the meanwhile the phone had swollen so much that even the LCD screen had cracked. Since I had no option, I have left the phone with them and in the process, I am without a phone. It appears that the policy of Samsung is not replace the phone even when major defect like this arise and that too within 4 or 5 months of purchase. On the other hand, my daughter has a I phone, and it developed a very minor snag and the Apple replaced it at once.. In short I am highly disappointed with the after sale attitude of Samsung.

  • It will be great phone for around ~90$, no more. Bad thing is old and low gpu. Is worse than 4 year old adreno 305.

  • You must know it is an entry-level phone.A phone powered by quad-core a7 soc in 2016 is equipped with 5MP camera seems reasonable

  • great phone

  • The only thing i like in this phones is its android version marshmallow. I hope the j5 2016 is upgraded to android marshmallow too because im planning to purchase it when its available in the philippines

  • The camera is only 5mp rear?

  • its marshmallow out of box? if price not high then its' awesome

  • If only it was WM 10, I would buy it to replace my old HTC 8X.

  • shame on you samsung... probably it has grand prime's price or more! in this PRICE , A7 CPUs is Betrayal of Technology and Customers!

  • happens

  • Not acceptable camper with redmi 3 pro or redmi 3

  • Cheap phones have big bezels and small bvattery capacity, because of the cost compromises, i would like though an affordable option that would compromise thickness, selfie camera instead of them...
