Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) - User Reviews

  • This phone is also available in Canada. Thought I would still go with almost anything over this one as the plastic backing flies off mine a lot of the time while at work. And yeah that means the battery can and does fall out... save yourself the headache.

  • How do u sign out from pandora

  • microSD, up to 400 GB

  • The MyVerizon app claims the microSD can be up to 400GB

  • Samsung J3V not user friendly! How do you forward calls on the Samsung J3V, it states in the manual call to settings than more settings, then call forwarding, there is NO "call Forwarding" option.

  • I was wondering if there was an upper limit on the size of the microSD card that you can install on the phone? I see that it has a microSD card slot but it doesn't state if there is an upper limit to how much memory in that microSD card that the phone can handle. I don't want to buy a card with excess memory that the phone can't access. Thanks!

  • Oh ok I see many thanks

  • This device is unique to North America.

  • Samsung J3 is a no hope, second one I've had same issues with the battery. Save your money for something with a removable battery this one is rubbish regardless of what it can do what it can't do is actually perform over a decent period as a phone!!

  • I agree with this. If you're gonna buy anything Android for the essentials (communication, multimedia files, basic surfing), get a device with a removable battery and Android Go. My device with a non-removable battery is giving me problems (reset loop) which can be solved immediately by simply removing/changing the battery.

  • Is this not available in UK can't find it under the J3 2018 name?

  • generally usful. good phone

  • An advice to all Android users,,,always buy Android mobile phone with removable Lion battery so that you can change the Lion battery yourself & you need not visit the Service Center. Samsung makes Android phones with removable Lion battery so Owner can alone change battery,,,also pricing is no mucho Dinero.

  • The official name of J3 2017 is J3 Pop. And the official name of J3 2018 is J3 Top.

  • Which is unfortunate. It is basically an improved Galaxy J2 Pro (2018), which only misses in not having front LED flash and the screen not being Super AMOLED type. I wish I had seen this device in Brazil.

  • Hello Samsung company! Can you make the same phone with the 4G (20) for europian use?I am from Greece.2 x mini 3 (parents),2 x mini 4 (bro and me), j3 16 (me) ,A5 (wife)and j4 18(me) history. I have to say that you (Samsung) are a honorable phone maker and you know what?A simple method for all other..do this(you other).Take your phones and go to grandpa grandma house,make a video call to your mother or father via (skype,facetime,facebook whatever)open wifi, open all and make a video call..now you have a big big smile on grandpas grandma face..yes they have..leave them a brand new phone and leave them..They never will make accounds never make mails,never make anything Never make a video call never be happy with a smile...SAMSUNG COMES AND TELLS :No!!they must be happy they are our family we love them but they cant cooperate with technology we have to make something for them.And this is the plan.We(Samsung) stay with some older but EASY FOR OLDER technology...NATIVE VIDEO CALL is the key word.SAMSUNG I LOVE YOU FOR THIS respect the olders you respect me.Mommy smiles when i make a native video phone call and i am happy double for this.yes you(other) can make a 16 core with 20 G ram and 48 mpixels phones welcome ok but you cant help me and my communication with family.Samsung DOES yes all Samsung phones i mention they do NATIVE VIDEO CALLS via COSMOTE here in Greece( ok mls and nokia also does).Thenks Samsung i will buy again Samsung and wherever i listen about phones bla bla i remind people my happines and grandpas happines about Native Video Calls.SAMSUNG I LOVE YOU really!!George, Greece happy user end of story ug.sorry about my bad english

  • My girlfriend has a data-less J3 and she uses GMaps navigation with offline maps, so A-GPS must not be compulsory, rather a complement to GPS.

  • ItÂ’s honestly a really good phone for the price, especially if you want that Samsung Galaxy feel. Camera SUCKS though, lol.

  • Go to Settings - Connections - Mobile Networks - Network Mode.

  • My j3 2018 is always E connection how to make it 4G or LTE?

  • I have the 2016 version was a tank awsome my mother just got the 2018 great budget phone never do you wrong ride or die

  • were for $50

  • According to Samsung website it's SM-J337WZKAXAC

  • The speakers on this phone are great. Loud and clear. The processor is decent. The screen is decent for 720p. But next to The placement of the back button to the right side of the phone is awkward. I got this phone for $50 new. For that price it's definitely worth it.

  • Was your comment about the j3 positive or negative. I couldn't really tell.

  • Is 16gb enough to run on Android 8.0 and download anything else to internal memory? My s5 mini is back on Android 5.1.1 and even that many generations behind, and with absolutely everything possible on the SD card, I have to keep my apps pretty bare bones to fit.

  • It seems like nearly everyone is missing the point of the J line-up. It's a budget series of phones. It has incredible specs, especially for the price. The fact that they didn't pull a Huawei and included flash is already amazing. To top it off, IPS is better than something like LCD, and it's cheaper to put on a phone. And as a monumental balancing act, the thing comes with a headphone jack and on-board Dolby Atmos. It surprises me how far Samsung can carry 1.4 GHz and 2 GB RAM. Thank you for reading.

  • The selling point of 2018 version to me is the compass sensor and the removable battery. I would NEVER buy a phone with no compass and non-removable battery.

  • Anyone know the version number given for this model?

  • If the battery is at least 3000mAh this would be GREAT!

  • It's available in Canada, just started receiving them in Walmart.

  • it has gps :)

  • Looks like a good phone except that it does not have GPS, only A-GPS

  • This phone just available in USA

  • Is this phone available from retail shops?

  • Buy Samsung A6 2018. It has all that you mentioned.

  • Make it aluminium body with gorilla glass. Make 13 mp front and rear cameras. Excellent that battery is removable mat it 3000 ma

  • Mali-T720 MP1 was launched in 2013, but was first used in 2015 with exynos 3475. If you want Mali-G71 MP20, buy Samsung Note 8.

  • No fingerprint reader for this model.

  • There is no FPR

  • I don't know this one but I just got a J2 PRO 2018 (SM-N250F/DS) which is even lower specs and it's blazing fast!

  • no it doesn't sadly

  • Anyone know if this has a fingerprint reader?

  • I don't understand people being too obsessed with the numbers. They never show you the real performance. Dude, most of the people buying this smartphone will be using it only for social media, calls, texting and web-browsing. The computing power is more than enough for that purpose. It's the same as if you see someone complaining about a budget SUV or sedan not having a Lamborghini engine

  • This is a shame from Samsung. Exynos 7 Quad 7570 in 2018?! Mali T720 MP1 from 2013?! Why, Samsung, why?!

  • Metal back or plastik???

  • Y downgrade the camera?

  • does anyone know if this 2018 has otg capability?

  • I prefer the look of j6 2018 with its infinity display and no physical home button , all on screen , it's aout time 😊

  • I hope that samsung will not get rid off front physical button. For me the most important is that front button (I know that I pressed it since I feel it. This is important when telephone hangs for a second) and of course removable battery.

  • I think it is going to be August

  • When is it going to be for sale other than at an AT&T store?

  • So good

  • This is for those who prefer removable battery and bigger battery over an aluminium back and more pixel camera, every thing else is the same ☺

  • Me too , there no screen bleeding nonsense with IPS . Good to see removable battery is back ☺. Hope samsung gets rid of physical home button and change Micro usb to type c. Other than that it's looks good.

  • Everybody have 8.1 android even an Android P beta version can be downloaded in present times but Samsung is still obsesed with 8.0 When Android P will be long time out this gets 8.1 maybe. Anyway Xiaomi 4 Note cost 160 eur. This will cost around 180 if we compare both phones this looks like a cat gold ring compared to diamond one with 24k gold engraved with trademark of world best jewelry which is Harry Winston or Cartier. Samsung is jokke nothing else just a joke which came out from fashion long time ago.

  • Samsung J3 2017 is much better that this do you think Samsung people at st2pid ???? this J3 2018 is a downgrade version of 2017 J3 what the prank !! Samsung never learn..

  • It might just be me but I like IPS a lot more than AMOLED.

  • Why android 7.1 and not 8.0?

  • Will this at least come with an ambient light sensor for auto adjust brightness?

  • these are just old models recycled and renamed.

  • Lol, micro-usb again...

  • i think ot willbbe better if they use amoled display than ips..j2 prime was nightmare... even j1 ace better then that... the phone must same price like new j3 pro today but suck then that

  • But the J3 2016 had a amoled

  • if you want a oled display, pay more!

  • wtf with that ips display.i want oled display

  • Dude J3 Prime in Canada is the J3 2017 for USA.

  • He is launch in Canada.

  • From its precedessor it have nothing new so why to release 2018 model which will cost about 200-220 eur as new phone when the J3 2017 is still new?

  • will samsung ever release 4k mah battery on their 5" line up?

  • In late 2017 & Samsung still makes these cheap phones which will be killed by xiaomi & other chienese companies at lower and mid range why ???? Thank god they upgraded it to a 2GB ram

  • at least 3000 mAh :(

  • Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) smartphone was launched in June 2017.Samsung Galaxy J3 The Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) runs Android 7.0 and is powered by a 2400mAh non removable battery. It measures 143.20 x 70.30 x 8.20 (height x width x thickness) and weigh 148.00 grams.

  • Why??????

  • Why USA is that men to be possible government to spy more on people and steal money.

  • Samsung and Nokia seems going fight about their fans lol
