  • my samsung j 120 h not support LTE networks....oh nooo...it' so bad

  • Voice is low in volume (bought in Iran) 2 GB available memory to user

  • I love my samsung galaxy smartphone's so i thought ok i will get samsung galaxy J1 (2016) thinking that it was made last year and thought the android would be higher then 5.1.1 but no thats what this phone is. Then you want more storage space so you get a 32GB SD Card to put in it and then you try and make the SD Card as the default location for everything to be saved to but no you can't even do that. This phone is pass the joke. I really do think samsung needs to rethink this phone because i have not liked it since the day i got it. It does overheat pretty bad too. It does freeze alot. I would never ever tell anyone to buy this samsung galaxy J1 (2016) ever. It is shit. If i had the money to go and buy another phone i would and then with this one i would smash it. I really do hope samsung will look into it. Because I'm very disappointed in this phone altogether.

  • horrible experience for me. phone is very slow, hangs from time to time, lags alot and sometimes types by itself like spamming random alphabets. really do not like it, honestly.

  • Guys, the device has an E3475 and 6.0.1 in some markets.

  • This phone has NFC but why is it not listed as such.

  • For me its a horrible experience...my wifi icon keeps on disappearing...ive to remove its battery each and everytime for the icon to reappear..my voice recorder doesnt work either...poor battery life...sometimes my screen freezes ...camera as well is so blurry

  • Please help me my phone doesn't show gallery photos and videos yet they are not deleted even when I take a pictures it shows there is no photos in the gallery even it doesn't save screen shotshot I take what could be the problem waiting for my reply

  • I have a J1 and when I insert my sim card even If it is an LTE card. data shows E at the top can anyone help me? solving this matter of my phone?

  • Can anyone help I added an sd card and it keeps saying storage full like every minute

  • This is worst phone I have ever owned less then a year old constantly overheats making it impossible to use is very slow does not stay charged and biggest problem is constantly telling me I have no SIM card only way I can use it is to turn it off and remove battery to reset it and then it will do the same thing again in a day or two sometimes two or three times a day total waste of money am very dissatisfied

  • CPU as good as Mediatek :D :(

  • I have been having the same issues. My screen started the crazy white strobe type crap and also threw me into seizures. Same issue with attempting to delete a typo. I cannot afford to upgrade at this time and my provider says Samsung has to replace my phone. Stupid....Samsung will not even respond to my requests for assistance!!!

  • here some problem to install messenger..........what may the reason that it cannt install

  • Great phone. No problems. Does everything I want in a small phone.

  • The Samsung J1 6 started out as a really great phone. A few weeks into ownership of my first of three identical models (had to replace them once or twice) the screen began rolling these lines downs the screen; much like the lines you would see if you were to record directly from a television screen or computer monitor. The lines remained, and was soon accompanied by an intensely blinding white light that randomly flashed at such great speeds, it caused me to have numerous seizures. I've phoned my provider numerous times but they've never heard of the issues I'm stressing about. Their recommendation comes in the form "It really needs to be exchanged." LIKE NO SH*T!!!! I DO NOT recommend this stupid a** phone. Oh, and another thing. When I text, and need to correct a word or delete a section of words, it requires that I highlight the mistype, and delete that way. Holding down on backspace will do nothing but cause EVEN MORE F**KING STRESS when the word you're attempting to remove combines, or instantly doubles into one goddamn long as f**k word. The J1 6 was built to be a piece of f**king garbage, and garbage it is. If you absolutely must get a new phone, and all they have is the J1 6, I suggest you take a class, and learn how to build a phone your own damn self.

  • Actually samsung j16 is not 4g

  • I have j1 2016 in 1year is to fast and beautiful phone but the one problem make me hate it is the screen is not in hes place he want to desablade in his place

  • I have this phone for 1 years above. For me, this phone is one of the best phone that Ive ever used. The screen is so good because it had a Super AMOLED Display. The performance when it comes to gaming it is so good. It has minimal lags but it doesnt matter. Its so fast when it comes to surfing either you use wifi or data. Overall, this phone is one of the best for its price. Thank you samsunh for making this cheap but awesome phone

  • No its not. Better buy J1 2016 version. Throw into garbage your J1 2015. It really fucking sucks.

  • I've dat problem too.i took it back at store it Waz abt 25 june dis.i bought d fone on march.whch means it only works 1 month full aftr dat it blank on it screen.even todai services ddnt gave it back t me

  • Im using samsung j1 i dont know what happened,, everytime i checked my phone i cant see anything screen is dead,, (black) but its working,, i tried sreenshot,, any suggestion guys,,, its so annoying i cant see anything on the screen

  • My J1 2016 is so annoyinh. I don't know what happened but all my applications has been stopped.

  • very poor mobile

  • So slow...

  • not at all

  • Does samsung j1 supports touch key lights ?

  • Got this cell for 1 year now. It's got many issues : weak processor and a lack of RAM makes it really slow as soon as you have 2 apps running in same time (2 apps means ur writing a text msg and u open a web page, ur dead). Camera is shitty, internal storage is small, unable to update the OS, the notification bar on top of the screen bugs all the time (it stays above all apps, even on the screensaver, so you cant draw your pattern to unlock the phone, got to reboot it, yeah!). I've had a Galaxy J5 before it was nothing like this cr*p!!! Seriously if you're using this phone just for calls and msgs, you'd better buy a simple burner that does it way much better than this J1 2016...

  • Perfect Mobile phone at lowest rates.

  • Just like mine i dont know what happen .but i think when the time i change my charger

  • nope

  • Samsung Galaxy j1 2016 good

  • I've been using j1 2016 for nearly a year now. On my first software update my calculator stopped working . now there's a new software update. should I update it or not?

  • "Versions: J120F (Global); Galaxy Express 3 J120A (AT&T); J120H, J120M, J120M, J120" I used J120F and it has LTE connection. i think the LTE connection is based on the version of the phone. :) Mine is superb specially the connection mobile data or wifi.

  • if you don't care why are you on this website?

It stops application I start after some or at some particular action , It does not enables 3g , It doesnot installs internet settings of a sim , and changes mac address when I turn off wifi . Please help me someone. Will be very thankful...............

  • Because the only Galaxy J1 (2016) capable with LTE is J120A and J120F. I guess your unit is J120H or J120M.

  • For me, this is phone is one of best that I ever used. Very smooth, Theres no lags, Very speed when it comes on browsing, very good display, battery last long. The only thing that I didn't like with this phone, it no has LTE :/ I researched it. It say its capable with LTE but it dont have LTE. But overall this phone is great! I'll buy this unit again.

  • My Samsung Galaxy J1 2016 has H+ signal only and not LTE even though i have LTE sim card. also There are only three options in my "Mobile Networks" 1. WCDMA/GSM(auto connect) 2. WCDMA only 3. GSM Only So i dont see any "LTE" network for this phone.

  • We have almost the same problem po..The flash of my camera was so bright but a week ago the flash became so low and I cannot even use it as a flashlight..How to fix it?

  • how to remove safe mode in my phone

  • i cannot use my messenger

  • I can't receive messages direct plz help

  • Have been using the phone for about 10 days. Will say its worth the value (about US $115 bought in Indonesia). The phone is very workable for daily use, even for video streaming. However not sure if it's still smooth with high resolution gaming application. The problem is that it need to always delete cache and other unnecessary data inside internal memory, as well as boost its ram to ensure the phone still running smoothly, the other downside is the screen resolution, as the pixel is still consider quite low (you won't get the best sharp pictures/video, however still acceptable). The screen is not using gorilla glass, so you might want to use tempered glass ALL the time to prevent LCD from cracking. Phone performance 7/10 Value for money 9/10

  • My samsung J1 2016 is beautiful but i dont know what's wrong of the phone flash it become so dark its not same on the earlier a use this this phone is only 1 year on me..please help me!

  • Decent phone hate that it has no auto brightness

  • In specs it says 4G LTE yet i can't connect to 4G (using smart kickstart LTE data sim). I tried globe LTE but the signal was still the same. It's only H+ signal but never a 4G. Any help please?

  • Yes, but only about 4 is usable.

  • does it really have 8 g as a internal memory ???

  • Im having network problem ...i Just can't use Facebook and whatsapp with my j1 Samsung ....I try network setting internet setting n wab setting but still no luck😈😈😈&­#128544;😠😠😠&­amp;#128544;😠😠&#1285­44;😠

  • It has a simply specs. I like this phone!

  • the cause of this problem is droped or fell the phone with impact

  • just turn off all background data.

  • ... just got it... when devoid of the battery it's light ... OVERALL? SO GOOD ,,, but it seems overly hot after use... even while docked for charging despite being turned off... is it the unit or just the summer heat here in Cebu?

  • ... just got it... when devoid of the battery it's light ... OVERALL? SO GOOD ,,, but it seems overly hot after use... even while docked for charging despite being turned off... is it the unit or just the summer heat here in Cebu?

  • I super like it..its user friendly yet techy, loved the amoled making all features lively... Make more...

  • When my battery phone is full and i didn't use it for a while it turned to 96% but my other phone is not like that it remains in 100 % or 99 % and when I am using data it easliy get heat

  • Well if I may suggest, try placing the Sim (fr your J1) to a different phone and see how it performs...At the same time try using a different Sim card (if possible from a different carrier) and place it on your J1 phone and observe if you experience the same problem. Basically that's how you'll get an idea if the problem is from your phone or Sim carrier (Freedom). If you place your sim to a different phone & didn't encounter a problem, that means there's no problem with your carrier. If your J1 phone still exhibits the same issue despite using a different Sim, that means your J1 phone has a problem.

  • For me it's a good phone but i have a problem with screen flickering when i low the brightness.How can i solve it?

  • what game are you trying to play?

  • Good But Its Keeps Laging When Playing Games and it will break too fast not becouse its fell but becouse of the ram

  • Slow Lag When Gaming. Otherwise Is Consider Decent To Me.

  • how lag is this phone as compare to Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime? I'm planning to buy this phone and use it as a secondary phone. I'm thinking of Asus Zenfone Go ZB450KL or this phone. thanks for the advise

  • Okay,so, I'm not very "tech savvy", but I tried to do some research on my own to diagnose the root of my problem, but to no avail. So, I would like to ask those of you who are more technologically sound, what is causing my problem!? My phone (Samsung J16), and my Husband's of the same make and model (bought same day as well) has been having issues with switching from the Home network to Roaming. I have not left the city that I live in, where the phone was purchased and registered, let alone the country. I wouldn't have such an issue with it if it didn't cause me to lose the option of making and receiving calls as well as internet (WiFi and data) connectivity. Basically, I want to know if this is a carrier problem (I'm with Freedom mobile; first time customer with this company) or is this an issue with the hardware of the phone itself?? Like I previously mentioned, I have tried to figure this out on my own but have had no luck. If I get no information from this, I will call my service provider, but thought I may at least get a lead this way. Sorry for the rambling, and I thank you in advance for any considerations, and/or pointers. - KikiMae

  • I want to downgrade to this phone. Is this a reliable phone? Comments that this phone just switch off when its 50 percent full is concerning.

  • I am using this phone for the last 1.5 months and I am fully satisfied with this phone. It is a very good phone according to its price and it is a basic smartphone. As I am not any gamer, and I use it for day to day uses. It has a decent camera, both front, and back. For heavy usage, have to charge this battery twice on a working day but for mid-level usage, the battery stays one full working day like 7 am to 8 pm. It takes around 2 to 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery. Call quality is super, no problem in 3G but in WiFi, there is connection and disconnection problem. I don't know how to solve this. Sound quality is clear and loud but not as loud as expected but price wise ok. Good for watching stuff on Youtube or so on. Overall performance a bit of laggy but price was actually ok. I do not want to upgrade on Marshmallow because it will consume more space out of it's 8GB. Marshmallow takes 7 GB out of 8 GB. People will stop buying Samsung device if Samsung does not provide 16 GB storage in entry level price like other. Pros: First of all, it's compact size. Smooth performance for entry level usage. Decent camera & battery backup. Good call quality and sound quality. Cons: A bit of laggy. 8GB ROM. Problematic Wifi.

  • Remove charge cable morning when full batery and next day at night finish

  • How long does the battery last?!?!?!

  • Had the same problem. don't know what to do about it.

  • have you resolve this issue? We have forwarded the unit 3 times to a service center, problem just recur. screen keeps turning off and it is very hard to turn on

  • This phone is great for games and apps, it is great for calling and i seem to have nothing wrong with it.

  • Perfect

  • Can I use double tap to open screen?

  • For an entry level phone, It works great. No problem. It is about 1/3 of my previous P8 and that was a briliant phone. The reason for down grading. I can use this in one hand and easier to replace if it goes boom or drowns. I would recomend this phone to people that need to check email, Messages, make calls and have an 1 or 2 im accounts. Battery lasts me 30 Hours+ and I am not shy about using my phone. (Calls per day total 45min, Other apps and internet total 120min.)

  • 30 Hours, If you use it abour 4 hours a day total. I don't think you will get less than 16 hours unless you use it non stop.

  • !!!!! How long does the battery last??!!!!

  • my phone is lock and cannot access it how can i open it.?

  • I have your same problem.. I just wanna ask you if you fix it already?? Sorry bad english..

  • Samsung mobile phone design is always a failure: when you press the right side of the switch, you will encounter the left side of the sound adjustment.

  • I like to vhange the network to 4G!

  • My friend, the color has nothing to do with if it is a smart phone or not, grow up!!!

  • I like it too it's smaller size is best if you carry in a holster screen is just fine OS is clumsy to use not feature packed I want to micromanage my phone but can't lol

  • I have this phone about 3 weeks And it work fine but I really hat the design of it and even the battons so ugly I wish of it was hidden that would be better

  • how to make SD CARD as my default storage..from internal default to sd card. some help..

  • My phone keeps restarting on its own..what should i do??

  • Error in data connection: I cant connect to 3G or LTE network how can I fix this plz help.

  • i like the name of this phone because i am muslim!...but i hate the style of this phone...make it all black or all wight wtf!? when i see this 2 colors in this phone i feel its not smart phone and the phone will stop working...what u want from us? to look to the screen or to look to the black color!? very bad idia who made this phone like this... guys buy j7 is better than this f.... phone

  • I think this is a lovely phone i like samsung phones works like a dream and its screen is beautiful and not too big.

  • this mobile comming display problem comming dont buy

  • Thats Only For Galaxy Express Prime With Pre-install MM. J1 Will Never Have MM & N.

  • my phone(Samsung galaxy j1 2016) usually shut down by it self after using it for about 20 minute what shall I do and also in order to restart i need to pull the battery

  • Is this useful for games, camera, social media and 4G data?

  • No Marshmallow & Nougat

  • Whenever I try to move my apps to my SD card it says that they've moved but it really hasn't because it's still on my internal and I'm wondering how to fix that??? because my phone is constantly saying that it's full but yet I have a 64mb SD card that is empty. Also I am wondering if anybody knows the name of the photo editor that is used on this phone because I somehow managed to delete it and while it gives me the option to download it when I hit the edit button then it says that the app is not found

  • Try to download your apps on web (not on play store).Before you install the apps,go to setting--> then go to lock screen--> select Unknown source. This will allow you to install apps and try to update your play store as well so thathat you can intall app from play store. Enjoy☺

  • We want marshmallow , Samsung listen us....Send this and make us suprise.

  • Where is upgradeable? Where is android 6 ? Still offical os is 5.1 android.u joke?

  • I have J1 and software needs to be updated so I install and updated it. But when I try to install some apps, it won't actually let me go through. Does anyone know what is causing this?

  • This is a terrible phone. Battery cannot handle apps. It keeps shutting them off. Had to get rid of facebook app. have had less than a month and want to chuck it. Can't even hear it ringing on full ball. Thought if I was going to buy a cheapish phone samsung would be best. Hmmmm. Sure wrong about that. My HTC was so much better.

  • its a problem i had with my j1ace neo, just downgrade to previous version and disable updates, it will work again

  • this happened to me on my previous phones 3x already. I noticed it has something to do when I charged it most of the time on my pc at the office. eventually it damages the battery. So what happen is i bought new batt and the shutting down is gone. After that I used it own charger to charge my phone and the until now I never experience it again.

  • My J1 (2016) randomly shut off and will not come back on. I tried taking out the battery and putting it back in. This didn't work so I though the battery was dead so I charged it for multiple hours and tried it again. After this didn't work I tried multiple other charger with no luck. I can't get it to boot in recovery mode either. Any suggestions?

  • When i saw the samsung j12016 i really love its design, color, and sizitits because i know samsung is a high quality of gadget i am not hesitant to buy it. But after a month using it. When i low the light its flickering! I dont know why its happening but it makes me upset. And now its still happening. I am so dissapointed. Now its difficult to open my phone. 😢 my phone are still new. Hayysss

  • Terrible SAR for a galaxy. Nukes your head as much as an iphone!

  • On time not coming samsung sound

  • Samsung j1 is good. I had read views of all and I understood that many of you are having problems of self restart. I would like to give a solution - You have to search for an software update for your device, if it's not available then you should move to manufacturer to report your problem then they will install the stock rom for your device. you can also install stock rom for your device, but it's quite risky therefore you should install it under an expert. Note- installing a stock rom will delete all your important data so it's better to take a backup on your pC. And software update will not erase your data.

  • How long does the battery last?

  • How long does the battery last in a continued-intensive use?

  • Decent backup phone. But 8 GB of internal storage is inexcusable in 2016. Androids OS takes up half of your internal storage. And Android sucks with transferring apps to SD.

  • J1 2016 runs well. it's actually great! until its camera flash/torch became a problem. its flash just can't work simultaneous with the capture of the camera making the photo completely dark at night, it's no use at night at all. And oftentimes the torch turns into a christmas light- perfect this christmas!😂 I just hope I know what to do and be able to fix it😣😟. thanks☺😊

I got some minor scratches at the back and it looks horrible (mine is gold color) so I need to put a case on it... but when I put it then the phone became thick. I hate thick phones... BTW can anyone tell me how to remove the scratch at it's back???

  • So far I'm pleased with this phone, with a few reservations. The biggest - I was surprised and disappointed to see it doesn't support OTG transfer. My Lenovo tablet, cheap and 3 years old, supports it. I just didn't imagine a new Samsung smartphone wouldn't. I wish this information was listed in the specifications.

  • try to uninstall the latest update for the calculator :)

  • Samsung Galaxy J1 Duos 2012 a brand new phone but the battery is getting flat at 70% and the body will be hot , what could be the cause. bought it in Mozambique

  • Maybe u turn off the notification on messages thats why the upcoming new messages

  • Purchased one last Monday (December 12, 2016) at around 3PM. Charged the phone of four hours. Setup the phone and test, it's great. At around 10PM (at work) my phone shutdown on its own for no reason and the power button is not responding. Removing and re-inserting the battery resolve the issue for a while. The power button works and turn on my phone. After a few minutes maybe 10 the phone shutdown again. I tried the following but the issue still persist. Turn on the phone with and without the sim card (each slot), Turn on the phone with and without my SD card. Factory reset. All the same results. I contacted the point of purchase and was advise to contact service center first. Please advise.

  • 5 days ago I bought a galaxy J1 (unlocked) from my local Target store for $179, but 2 days ago I took it back because the sd card system was broken. The store was out of stock, so I foolishly paid out an extra $20 & got a galaxy J1 2016 (network locked). The Samsung Galaxy J1 2016 is a faulty half programmed phone. There are to many excellent phone filtering/cleaning apps that will work on the galaxy J1 but will not work on the Galaxy J1 2016, the Galaxy J1 2016 has freezers & reboots itself (lets hope no one with the Galaxy J1 2016 has to call any of the emergency services, the fauly phone could easily cause cost people their lives!) Also in the app draw/on the app screen the Samsung Galaxy J1 2016 does not have the settings that most Galaxy handsets have.

  • VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! Out of a Batch of 11 Handsets, the 1st 2 opened had Faults which caused the Handset to keep switching off every hour to an hour and a half!! In addition the Camera is terrible. It does not ficus close-up (Blurred.)

  • Hi there I am thinking about buying a samsung j16 and I'd like to know,please, the pos and neg facts about this phone Thanks in advance :) happy happy day

  • Yes. Surely it will be a bit laggy for this kind of phone

  • My messages aren't sending please help if you know how to

  • I have that same issue on the calculator then we returned it on the store where we bought that. And the girl who assists us immediately reset the phone without asking permission on us then the girl wants us to go to the service center to repair the phone but the employer on the samsung service center said that we need to pay 700 for the labor fee because she said it is not their fault

  • It will work but very laggy. For that money, buy Xiaomi Redmi 3s or an used iPhone 5c instead. The new Moto E3 is also good, but the SoC is not known yet. For me, Redmi 3s is best in that price range. It has the best performance of these 4 (35'000 vs 32'000 on 5c and 22'000 on J1) and also a good camera, probably better than the one on the iPhone

  • Create an email account in the gmail app using your old Windows phone email id and password. Your contacts will show automatically. I use a Lumia 525 and an Android tab, that's how I added the contacts to my tab. All the best.

  • No, you have to install a sticker to protect the screen.

  • Yeah. Same with me.

  • can i play with this phhone pokemon go??

  • Great phone. Good value. Works well

  • I purchased a brand new phone and 2 days later returned it due to the device not switching on. The technicians report was liquid damage therefore nothing could be done, needless to say I do not argue with their findings as this is their specialized field so somehow while the device was unattended the incident must have ocurred. What is disturbing is that 2 years back I owned a blacberry device that fell in a basin of water but it kept on working fine till it was stolen in January this year. Therefore for advanced technology this device get's a yes but for durability a no no.

  • Have the same issue. Once calculator updates it will not work anymore. You have to uninstall updates in settings in order for it to work again.

  • my lenovo fone lasts 3 yrs i hoping this samsung i buy lasted mure den 3 yrs. U like my english? boom boom pow!

  • I bought my j1 2016 on the 1st June and before it even turned a month when I woke up my screen was black but when I call it rings and I still get text's but the screen is just black,what is wrong with my fone?

  • Why the compass application doesn't work!? The message that I see avery time was "The magnetic sensor does not exist or not detected". Is this real!? Thanks for your help!!!!!!

  • I had that problem once too. You have to turn off the automatic updates of apps.. So instead, You will have constant reminder of the other apps you need to update or when an update is available..This is better since you'll have a option to choose which apps you only like to update.

  • Mine too. but what i did i went to uninstall the update and it went back to be fine again..

  • I have few observations regarding the Samsung mobiles: J1 mobile is quite costly. It has only only 8gb internal memory which is joke with people, it should be at least 16gb. Edges are the beauty of any mobile, but J1 has large edges especially top n bottom.

  • the world between your hands...

  • Please, how can i know what is the frecuency of my samsung if that information are not on the box? :/

  • Why no Easy Mode option on the Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) J120M ? Do other versions have this option ?

  • Try Huawei P8 lite, it has decent specs and come at a decent price. But stocks will be limited as the P9 is about to be released.

  • I really regret buying this phone.... wish sony produce affordable phones

  • The J series are good in general. I have a J7 and my wife has a J5 and we are both pleased with them. When you buy one in the S series you pay for the research and developement and that tech is available later in the cheaper series. Go for a J phone.

  • Its not hang..

  • Kindly somebody tell me about J120 features and hanging problem? is this hang or not ???

  • does it support OTG?

  • it's exactly the SC7727SE WCDMA/HSPA+ chipset source:

  • it is a good phone indeed

  • This is a great phone for the money. I came from a Galaxy S4 that died. I spent a lot of money for repairs before the main board died. I had second thoughts about buying another Samsung but decided the J1 was cheap enough to try. This cheap J1 doesn't have that much useless junk. I'm surprised how much value they packed into the phone. I'll NEVER buy another super expensive phone.

  • J2 is better because j2's resolution is higher than j1 2016

  • does it support USB-OTG?

  • there is no lighting in keys. 2 hours to chrge (1-100%)

  • Yes. can play nba and need for speed.

  • 2 days left. will have this on friday :)

  • J1 2016 and j2 almost same specifications

  • No Easy Mode option on Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) J120M. Do I need to download an App gain access ?

  • does it have preffered storage function in settings?

  • i am purchase samsung j 1 (2016) is very Nice video is very clear N o Complaint in phone thank u samsung

Not nice phone, Camera ka result core prime sy bi ganda ha, display color very bad, facebook pictures not clear, just like very old nokia phone... i think LG IPS LCD better then sAMOLED......

  • we'll get this next week. let me try this :)

  • Yes..

  • Is gaming good on this phone? Like COC or NBA 2K? Im planning to buy it. Pls give me feedbacks... Thanks!

  • How is the camera on this phone?

  • Why am I not able to select 4g? No option on mobile network to use 4g.im already using an LTE sim!!!

  • Does this phone have the samsung themes?

  • BTW guys the SM-J120H has a SC7731/8830 CPU and only has 3G for boot.

  • If you use data in your phone, your screen is heating up.

  • why do you should said so?

  • Overall 7/10

  • Bought it recently, loving every minute of using the phone.

  • I just purchased Samsung Galaxy J1. I got it today and I am impressed already with how one can choose the brightness for the screen. I have larger print on the keys for texting and typing messages, it is to me so far much more beneficial to me than my Alcatel One Touch that I have been using for the past two years. Yep, I think I am going to like the Samsung Galaxy J1.

  • For me its ok because im content in the samsung j1 and so amazing i love it!

  • No color black for j1 2016 in the market?

  • If you using wifi,,.. dont use or on mobile data..

  • Im using this phone, you can move your apps and files to SD card.. you dont how to do it...

  • Dont make full your storage device.. move your files and downloaded apps to SD cards.. just make sure you have an SD card...

  • Yes.. just click home key and power button at the same time...

  • can i ask if j1 2016 has a screenshot?..

  • you just dont know how to do it! :((((

  • The phone is good enough, It's just when you charge it do not use it causing for some circuits to loss or to be damaged, make sure that when you use it it is not charging. I have a good advice for you, the phone can last up to the whole day, in the night try to charge it starting 6-9 pm and sleep. In the morning you can use it with a 98% battery. Do not overcharge it and also do not let the battery drain. Buy a cover and take care for you're phone, I bet you it will last for 1-4 years if you will just follow this, I am a Samsung dealer anyways. Thank you!

  • My cell is always lagging plss give some tip to avoid it

  • I won't recommend to Root ur Samsung Phone 'coz at the end of the day, the company will Lock ur FRP.. if it happened to you, two ways to Do It: 1. Master Reset: Asking you about ur gmail that u used the first time u were using this phone. And there's a trick for that using "Side Synch" Software....! (Impossible when ur Phone is FRP LOCKED-a third party licensed) 2. THE BEST OPTION: Download Odin V3 10.7, Samsung usb Driver, and Firmware from SamMobile-Search ur phone Model from any PC. Extraxt All the Files, Firmware is a large file. More or Less 912MB, will take some time downloading. " Open Odin. "Connect ur Phone with usb driver to PC " This is it- Press Power+Home+Volume Down " Msg will Appear to press voume Up to Continue. Press Volume Up. Now, Odin will Add ur Phone, have a patience coz it will time. Then check BL box, and click BL to select ur firmware, locate ur firmware to where u save ur eztracted files-its a zipfile. Then, Click Start... Finally, u Have a brandnew Phone with a brandnew OS,,

  • I agree with you.. this phone has no choice where you can store your files. Fix this!! Disgusting phone.

  • Does the price answer your question?

  • Why is it whenever I charge the phone and I try to check for any message or try to unlock it , it does blinking looks like its going to shut off or whatever I don't understand. Please give me an opinion!

  • same issue as mine! the battery life doesn't last long for a day especially when you are using internet or playing games..but so far it is good though!

  • Are you freaking serious?

  • Why no 2k resolution and 4k vdeo recording on this phone !!

  • Does it have NFC?

  • I have the samsung galaxy j3 (2016) and i was suprised that it didn't have a native music player but had plenty of music streaming apps pre-installed. But downloading the GooglePlay music app fixed that easily. It has music streaming stations and it'll play music that you have on your sd card

  • You can download mp3 player from playstore...

  • is it tru that it doesnt have built in music player ? what if i insert my sd card how will play the music files on it?

  • I like this phone & battery back up is good

  • j1 was good ,good quality if you are using the phone while charging it may start phone damaged it wil easily to damaged those who do that are careless for their phones

  • It was a good and smooth phone and the battery was last longer even when I used internet.I love this phone very much

  • No Matter how many times you master reset the phone it will always ask for that gmail account that was set-up the Phone and that is because of the Secury Patched installed on that phone. One Last Option you have; ROOT The Phone and Install New Custome OS - You can check instractions for Rooting on XDA and installing Custom Rooms

  • No, this phone hasn't any LEDs.

  • is this phone has led indicator?

  • I don't know why this phone automatically shut off(sometimes) when using the internet and the battery is not that good it will not last for a day.

  • There are 3 different of j1,the one who always log is the j1 made by 2015,they have j1 mini the new 1 is the j1 2016..i like j1 2016...its nice to have j1 2016 phone.

  • I love this phone....

  • Try the Moto G Gen 3

  • Is this phone does not encounter the Camera Error?

  • There's a trick to hard reset the phone. Hold Volume + and power button simultaneously -> choices appeared and select hard reset thru volume +- as up and down key and power button as enter key -> once done and full complete reset select reboot system -> congratulations!

  • Try J5.

  • Lenovo A6000

  • Sumsung J1 Also known as Samsung Galaxy dual-SIM card ( dedicated slot) 4GB,512 MB RAM Platform OS Android.Not big but good performances J1 easy to use camera Face detection.Lovely rington.visit @ Samsung Galaxy J1...

  • Forget the old gmail account make a new account and register it as your gmail account.just follow the phones instructions in registering your new gmail account.open the play store and the phone will ask you to enter gmail account.select new and enter a new gmail acxount.just follow phones instructions.good luck. .

  • So overall,is this a good phone to go for or not?im looking to get a new phone,but there are so many on the market,it's become quite frustrating(inspite of using google).Are there any recomendations from the more experienced cell-users out there?a good medium range(and priced)phone.

  • verry laggy phone..don't buy itp

  • j1 2016

  • Even j12015..but im not always playing music..its ok for me..did u see the specs of a3 2016?i like that phone but its so expensive..9k plus

  • is it true that the samsung j1 2016 doesn't have a built in music player?

  • For the price, I'll buy J1 Nxt anytime with not much different.

  • Make a new Gmail account and the problem solved.

  • my mom, 58 years old and gadget illiterate, bought this phone just this march. the retailer helped her setup the phone and made a new gmail account for her phone. the phone was used for a day, but my nephew locked up the phone and they brought it back to the retailer w/c they did a factory reset. but now it is asking for the gmail account w/c was setup. cust was able to remember her gmail but wasn't able to save/remember the password. i tried to recover email's password using the link the phone provided but it is very hard to recover the password because it was just made and the girl from the retailer who made the account refused to help. i called a samsung rep and the option he provided me is to go to a samsung service center w/c is not available in our area. is going to a service center do us any good? are there an alternative way for this issue. pls help

  • Looks good...might consider to buy it...but any issues??

  • Very nice moblie

  • I have both, but i prefer the J1 fit better in hand and pocket, very fast and effective phone for an entry level (played 3d games easily).

  • Which is better j1 2016 or j2?

  • Its Specifications looks like j2

  • Google is free.

  • qHD is 960x540. 800x480 is WVGA.

  • That black rim on the bezel of both the Galaxy (2016) & Nxt, is such a turn-off. Why spoil the design like this?!

  • are you sure? is that a true opinion or just a troll one? i owned a jiayu s3 for almost a year now and it still performs well even its bat. been playing a lot of hd games (not coc). dh5, oc2, vainglory... all set to high gfx. you just need to know what chinese phone you'll going to buy. i saved a hundred $ compared to popular brands! so stfu!

  • GSMARENA.. why are you not posting my review here? im telling you that the one i got has SPREADTRUM CHIPSET J1 2016 SM-J120H is spreadtrum NOT EXYNOS,..

  • yeah true..i got mine today and while playing coc it lags a bit.. but still the phone is good :D

  • As an ardent Samsung fan, this phone is a mediocre effort from them to capture the mid-low range market. Tested this for 2 weeks, courtesy of a friend who opens a mobile shop, and I must say there are much better choices for the price range atm. TouchWiz lags terribly after a few days of continuous usage, and the Exynos heats up whenever you do moderate-heavy browsing, news reading or playing games. All phones do heat up, but think hot-plate. I suggest either go for an older S4/S5 or give those China brands a shot. Peace !

  • what about data ,does it reduce more money when mobile internet is used?

  • I'm highly inspired by your comment; i have plans of getting one, and really I'm encouraged

  • The longivity of Samsung device is good...the phones are not bad but the problem is you cannot install the files on the ad card and also cannot move the apps to ad card....it is disappointing for gamers mostly as the internal storage is very limited...installing all the apps on internal storage makes the phone slow too...they must solve this problem.

  • Hey i have samsung galaxy j1 2016 but there is a lag on it. I bought it awhile ago.

  • Samsung j3

  • get your comment right, its not slow and it doesnt even heat up when connected to a wifi. your just a samsung basher

  • I tried it, it is a nice phone, but for a little more money you get J2, same but with bigger screen.

  • Easy to use men

  • Gonna buy one this coming payday..

  • I have Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016), and man I tell you. I'm loving it, for such a reasonable price. I'd say it's worth the investment. Of course, if you're looking for a high end smartphones, this phone is definitely not your style. Nonetheless, given the Quad-core capability and its vividly-vibrant Super AMOLED display, I'd say, its way better than MOST of its competitors within its "PRICE" range bracket. It's pretty good with games, watching movies, and taking pictures as well.

  • Ngl its fugly

  • it is already available here in Philippines the Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) priced at around 115 usd.

  • which is better? j1 (2016) or meizu m2? both of them here in my country have same price..

  • I don't know man..this is a very hard question!..I guess no one will ever be able to figure this out!

  • which is better J1(2016) or J3(2016)?

  • Does it have an LED notification?

  • Boring of see the same design in Galaxy's.

  • lg magna is much better than this trash with lagfizz

  • Why don't you guys post information about Samsung galaxy j1 nxt released in bangladesh ???

  • This phone is so damn slow.....it hangs wen u connect to the wifi and restarts wen the cpu is too hot....improve on ur processor and its speed too.

  • Got it today,£108.97p in blue duel sim ,what a great divice this is,compliments my note 3 which will be up forsale shortly. Go for it ppl its a liitle Beast!

  • Not yet available in the market yet. Why? Your site says released in jan16 .......

  • Me too, carrying a 7 inches phablet such a hassle everyday, gonna this one found it cute and nice. though the cam is 5mp and 2mp , well it's okay im not that picture lunatic. :D

  • 2016 has 1gb ram

  • i would like to buy this item. but not found on online store . to not confuse with J1, notice some diffrences like this one has 2050mAh battery, 4.5' screen also lolypop os,

  • Is it J2. Not J1. J1 comes with 512 MB of RAM.

  • That's why I like the phone with 4.5 to 4.7 inch screen. Now you can answer or reject calls with a single tap on the screen. No need to swipe anymore. Just go to turn on the Single tap mode in Accessibility there.

  • Before you order, check the model most on Amazon are the Samsung J1 (100H) and not the 2016 model, having owned own the J1 (100H) I would recommend you read the comments on the last model Samsung J1 listed on this site before you buy.

  • Get it on Amazon under £100 free dilivery,Gona order one ltrs,nice pocket size phone ! My note 3 needs a side kick !

  • Head off to Samsung for Launching the Mobile with 1gb Ram, looking into the Mobile Market which is becoming HOT day by day.

  • Really like that in white, might get this, easy to carry just slip it in front jeans pocket, bored have to carry 5.7"phone everywhere

  • Sar value very high..

  • Omg Dar value high like k3 note

  • The front looks like asha 311…

  • Selfi & Gaming is not good.When play games it become hot

  • If anyone has this phone, can someone confirm this has OTG? This phone now uses the first generation J2's Exynos 3475 Quad chipset which supports OTG. Theoretically, this should have OTG function as well. The first generation J1 doesn't support it and it uses the Spreadtrum chipset.

  • i hope samsung will release 15+ or 20+ smartphone a year.

  • Does it have a palm gesture shot for selfie?

  • its gb ram not mb

  • Love the compact 4.5" screen, but surely 1280x720 resolution would have been better. Also, 1MB/8MB RAM and storage sucks. 2MB/16MB would be better. Roll on J1 (2017)!!!

  • Nice phone

  • Well if you think of people who have eyesight problem that cant have small phone . At least big phone can help them see their device especially people ages around 30 - 50

  • yeah...small simple phone is cool, pocket friendly and easy to be handled by one hand. Anything more than 136mm X 68mm are uncomfortable for single handling. Hopefully there are more compact android models coming after the iphone5se releases. The 5" - 5.5" got better view for gaming but it must be use with two hands and everytime u sit u must be took out from the pocket. Unless u like to hold the phone all the time when u are outside walking or shopping or else the bigger than 4.7inch phone is a stupid phone really for active peoples.

  • indeed this phone is good, but the problem is it keeps on loading everytime I access social media.

  • wow its another comfortable phone. i like it i don mine abt ram n camera. but i can opret this phone with one hand. sumsung always lunch people choice..other company is lunching phone is like to cary on shulder.

  • Samsung 3 years use, Chinese less than 3 months use.

  • how did you say this mobile is bored for you, do you know this mobile can't release yet...

  • usually 1gb ram samsung's price = 2gb ram chinese phone's price..

  • Nice phone

  • I love this phone.i will buy this one on my pay day

  • no, do not buy it, I know that this phone is cheap but I personally I bored, I preferred to sell it and save a little more for a Motorola G3 gen

  • I want to buy this mob plz help me this mob is good or not

  • LOL available, released in february 2016 on january 24, 2016

  • I love this phone more than my gf

  • I have it. it's awesome.

  • I am looking forward to buy this phone. It has a good specs. :)

  • Hi Samsung, each and every day you comes with a new phone model but all phones are heavy and size got more than 5 " . so try to make a handy size like Apple iphone 5 or 5S. its an ideal size to use without hassle. Expect your consideration in well manner.

  • it's good phone

  • good phone

  • Samsung is one and only gus choisce of new generation so i said plz make your brand samsung this brnad is amazing brand .............

  • When to come????????

  • Samsung should start selling phones with at least 1.5gb ram in the mid range market if they are to compete with Chinese smartphones... wake up Samsung it's 2016 already

  • Is it coming with vibe ui in india?

  • Thats your problem mate .. search on google for "best size for smartphone" and you'll see most of the people prefer 5" to 5,5" phones .. I prefer 5,5-5,7 myself ..

  • At 135$ .... it think it's overpriced I rather go for the j2 with a little different in price

  • Poor people will need it.

  • why samsung made small junk phones like that one who need it?

  • but when low end and mind range is concerned huawei provides better build quality and better specifications. still price is always less than sammys.

  • samsung galaxy j1 2016

  • Camon, not everyone is interested in a Phablet. Xiaomi only makes Pahblets , of course specs are good but running around with a 5" screen not hadling with one hand is just for me, if i want something like that i use a tablet and leave it at home. There is a market for smaller inches phones problem is that companies only make low end specs with 4", 4.5" phones.

  • I agree with a lot of you that you can get a better spec Huawei, etc for the same price as this but these brands can't compete on Sammy's high end so cool the slander down people.

  • how ever i think this spec is not real spec...... brooo

  • there are many phones made by xiaomi,lenovo and Huawei those are far better than this awful phone in this price.maybe Sammy likes to loose markets.we can take xiaomi with very better cpu/gpu and more ram with larger/better screen,camera and battery .

  • Bogus.................... its too much cheap Samsung model, instead of it, ........ is it needful where 2 GB mobile are giving slow performance? ................... choose Huwaei in same price range, Huwaei has no issue to hang, slow performing etc.

  • This thing is funny .. Xiaomi Redmi 3 destroys this in every way and cost just 10 euro more .. but people will buy samsung for their name anyway ..

  • Good one

  • Why Sammy even release such phones in 2016?. If its 2010, its fine.. Its not even good for very basic users to use this phone. If cost is $50 then may be OK..

  • If it remains at same price then good phone for 60-80 euros. Yes, you can't still play 3D games thanks to Mali 720 single but may be "subway surfer" at 20 fps with less lag.

  • Bad spec than j1,j1 ace,,, no LTE,NO AMO LED ,, 4gb hard

  • my brother yestarday got this mobile from dubai and gifted to father ...this mobile is very fast comparing to other samsung models and it have 8gb internal memory and not 4gb and super amoLED display ...and it have LTE cat4 ...new windows design

  • it is a qHD(480p) not a QHD(1440p).

  • 4Gb rom.. usable ?? 1 gb ? after basic social media.. around 400 -500 mb available for photo..

  • it's not qhd the resolution is only 480×800

  • 4gb rom with android lollipop? Samsung if u r that stingy please launch the phone on 1st of april. What a joke.

  • super amoled instead of tft
