9/9/2023 0 Comments Samsung j3 notification light![]() ![]() The box inserts describe this as a 'Prime 2' - which matches the info for a branded AT&T or Cricket prepaid phone (from 2017). The phone received appears 100% new, and is in a Samsung-labeled box. The info provided by this seller appears accurate, although it does not mention the AT&T branding and bloatware. It was unlocked, and accepted a SIM card used in an earlier unlocked international phone. The one received in this order is an AT&T-branded phone (logo on the phone back and on the start-up screen, and various ATT apps are pre-installed). My surmise is that various sellers get unsold phones from different sources, including mobile carriers (they are remaindering the phones). So look for reviews that are explicitly specific to the product on offer, and from a specific seller. At least one review insists the phone needs a 'micro' SIM card - but the phone ordered and rec'd from this seller needs a 'nano' SIM, as the seller's info explicitly states (but most 3-in-1 SIM cards allow punching both of those two smaller sizes out of the large card). For example, a review posted here for 'samsung J3 sm-j327u' - note it's about a 327u, not a 327A - touts features which the 'A' does not have. Reviews collected here appear to be a mish-mash about varied products, some clearly not identical to the one detailed here, or to product variants being sold by other sellers. Product: Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime J327A 4G LTE 7.0 Nougat 5", GSM-capable, unlocked, sold by 'Wireless Experts, Inc.' Reviewed in the United States on 3 December 2017 and i want amazon to upload every photo i post.Ī good daily driver. I have included some pictures of my j3 phone and screenshots from the various benchmarks. this j3 is hard to beat at this $150 price point. lag probably caused by Samsung touchwiz ui (its been getting better since 2010). slight stutters and lag rarely occur and only under heavy workloads. the snapdragon 400 series isn't the strongest but it is more than enough for daily tasks, switching between apps, using the multi window function is responsive, touch response is quick, scrolling feels smooth. its actually equivalent to the galaxy S4 snapdragon 600 in cpu and gpu performance from 2013 which isn't terrible all while using 30 to 50 % less power. it does last a full day 24 hours of medium use.Ĭpu and gpu performance is at a lower tier for 2017. how is any of this important? because i took the time to do this in case you need to know before you buy. but nothing crazy like a heater or hand warmer. ![]() phone getss warm on continuous heavy workloads. giving a power consumption of 1.646 watts per hour or 16.66% of battery per hour for 6 hours to a total 9.88 watts. Using the battery drain test in geekbench version 3.4.1, max screen brightness, 4g lte on, location on high accuracy, the galaxy J3 went 6 hours until the battery quits. this means a power consumption of 2.47 watts per hour or 25% of battery per hour for 4 hours to a total 9.88 watts. also know that the led flash auto disables at 15% battery. on a full charge with max screen brightness, 4g lte on, location set on high accuracy, and recording 1080p video with led flash on the galaxy J3 went 4 hours until the battery called it quits. I did some battery performance tests and screen on time tests. and because this j3 is one of the few phone remaining to have a plastic backcover and a "no disassembly required removable battery" so a thicker double capacity 19.8 watt hour battery is possible. but i did order a second unit so i will know. i didn't get earbuds in my first order, it might have been taken out prior. front glass has a slight curve around the edges. phone has round edges and feels good in the hand. very power efficient with the included 9.88 watt hour capacity battery. good display size at 5.0 inches with 1280 X 720p resolution. there are some features not found on the J3 such as light sensor for auto screen brightness adjustment, led notification light and fingerprint scanner. If i only had $150 to spend for a smartphone this samsung J3 sm-j327u would definitively one of my top choices. im not sure if this model is still made or discontinued but if you find it don't buy it in 2022+ and beyond it did okay for me in 2017 to Q1 of 2020 but its time for something newer to browse amazon and web surfing. the lastest firmware is android 8.1.0 baseband number J327UUES6BLT1. ![]() as for updates this device is end of life. even something like browsing the amazon shopping app can lag and stall out the phone or the app will just crash and force close. Galaxy sm-j327u is not sufficient for many basic smartphone tasks in 2021. ![]()
