Great phone, great specs, SPECTACULAR camera
By Mohak
The phone is amazing! I couldn't have been happier! Though the specs are about half as good as a S7 model, the specs are great for the price (this was about $160, while an S7 goes for about $700). And while the specs are only half as good as the s7 model, they're over twice as good as other models in this price range.
And let me tell you, the camera is AMAZING. The S7 offers 4k video recording while this doesn't, but this does have full 1080p HD recording which is really all you need. However, the megapixels on this camera for still photos even beat out the S7, and the camera of the iPhone is a joke compared to this. As a photography enthusiast, I have several different DSLRs costing well into the 1000s, but I can assure you that the photography feature on the current generation of Samsung phones is TOP-NOTCH.

There's simple point and shoot for photography amateurs and Starbucks enthusiasts, but there's also a very in-depth and complex manual mode as well for those that want to take a bit more time to line up the perfect shot. But whether point and shoot or manual mode, the quality of photography on this phone blows me away every time.
EDIT: Photos added to the review, all photos that are added were shot in auto mode and are free of any form of external photo-manipulation (#nofilters, as the younger generations say) to ensure an unbiased review for even novice photographers. I added some landscape, close up, and portrait photos to try to give a broad range of subjects.

Wow, the technology just gets better and better. I ordered this phone after my GalaxyIII would not charge. New battery, new charging cable even a charging pad, cleaned out the usb port with a paperclip, nothing worked! I guess the writing was on the wall, it was time for a new phone. Ok with some angst about making the purchase, I read amazing reviews about the S7, but could not bring myself to spend that kind of money, infact I had almost convinced myself to buy any brand of cheap phone that would serve my purposes. However, I decided, once you own a Samsung, how can you go back? Fortunatly, I came across this J7. It was advertised on Virgin Mobiles site for 229.00 and apparently they can't keep them in stock. So when I found it here on Amazon at 174.99, my fate was sealed.
ILOVE THIS PHONE. What a piece of work it is!
Calls are crisp, loud and clear. The internet speed super fast and the camera produces stunning pictures. The battery was fully charged this morning, and now at about 8:30 pm its at 71%, thsts awesome! OH, and did I mention the beautiful big screen? Yes, it's bigger than the galaxyIII, just like the S7. I can't find anything wrong with it. So if you're on the fence, buy it with confidence! You are getting an amazing phone for the price.
OMG Nice phone!
By Gringo A La Carte
Super fast shipping, ordered Thurs, got it Sat morn! Easy as pie to activate & transfer my # from my old S3 to this one via phone. Transferred all my data, files, contacts also via phones, wasn't expecting it to be this easy but glad it was. Love this phone!! It's bigger, lighter than the S3, all Google apps (gmail google search etc) are lumped into one icon & few other changes but minor overall. Love the color, is while metallic on back cover, glittery. Am totally satisfied with this phone! Figured out the camera but haven't discovered yet how to switch to video mode. Hmmm! One big gripe, HAS NO MESSAGE LIGHT!!!
It is Great

I had found this phone on the virgin mobile website and decided I wanted to switch from my galaxy s3 to this, but before I bought it, I checked Amazon for the same phone for a cheaper price. This was approximately $60 less than the exact same phone on virgin mobile's website. I ordered this on Friday, July 20th and it arrived Tuesday, July 26th, which was 3 days earlier than the expected date.

I was very surprised about that. It came completely brand new, still in the box. I had a few troubles figuring things out (such as how do I take off the back and put in the battery) because there were no instructions, but I figured it all out. The camera is very nice, and much much better than s3's camera. The screen brightness can go much darker and brighter than the s3. Some one (either on here or vm's website) wrote a review saying they were unable to change their lock or homescreen, but I did not have that problem at all. The LED notification light doesn't seem to be working, but that's the only bad thing I experienced so far.
Great Phone
By TWD
Works fantastically! This is definitely the best phone you will get for this price. I have yet to experience any lag, even with multiple RAM-consuming apps running. The screen is very large, but not so large that the phone is cumbersome or heavy. Its camera works very well and takes good quality pictures in most conditions. My only complaint so far is the battery life; it lasts about a full day if you use it minimally, but I do have to plug it in occasionally at dinner so it can last until I finally go to sleep.
So far so good. Certainly a much needed upgrade from my previous ...

So far so good. Certainly a much needed upgrade from my previous phone. My only true dislike, and this is of most new phones, is that size. If I wanted a tablet I would by a tablet. I want something that will fit in my pocket and this beast barely does so. Where have all the small phones gone? Where are kids buying their pants today to accommodate these things? But I digress...this is a good phone for the price point. No significant complaints.
