(THIS IS A SAMSUNG J7 PRIME 2017. BY SAMSUNG. THIS WILL *NOT* WORK WITH CERTAIN CELLPHONE CASES THAT SAY 2015. THERE NEEDS TO BE CLEARER DESCRIPTIONS FOR THIS AD INDICATING WHICH CASES IT WILL AND WONT WORK WITH. PUTTING WHAT YEAR THIS CELL PHONE IS, WOULD BE A GREAT START FOLKS.)
I am upgrading from a junk Kyocera hydro phone I bought on clearance from Walmart two years ago, on Black Friday.
Right away, from the getgo, this phone is amazing, Long battery life, super fast cellphone cpu, a lot of memory, and no lag or response times so far. It responds quickly, no freeze screens, power on / off / restart works fine, and I even put in a 16 gb micro sd card from my Kyocera that it recognized right away. It is also unlocked, which is nice too. I plan on traveling with it and getting a sim card from ATT up north without having to worry if it will be able to be used by that carrier or not.
If youre looking for an upgrade and having phone frustrations with an older android phone, don't hesitate, don't be the old me, upgrade. get this phone.
I stuck with a junker phone for a year and a half, hoping my phone would get better if i kept cleaning it off. All I was doing was delaying the inevitable. This Samsung J7 Prime phone is durable [Frame made out of METAL], sturdy, and amazing. and as a guy with really, big hands and not very dexterous, this phone is very easy to use for people like me. As my huge fingers and hands hit the wrong keys frequently on other phones and apps on them. This phone also comes with a 1 year warranty on select parts in the phone for manufacturer defects (6 months on certain parts from manufacturer defects also, read the manual.)
......ps (Just don't drop it....... unless you have insurance through squaretrade)
Google Apps with Android, has a cloud (storage) service. I was able to take all of the useful/borderline necessary apps/save data/etc off my old Kyocera phone, put them on the cloud, and move them over to this phone (samsung j7 prime). It took a bit of time to figure my way around, but I did it.
Cons: The only annoying part of this phone, is that to get the sim card doors open (*there are two doors. one door holds just a sim card. the other one, holds a sim card, and a micro sd card*), you have to use the tool provided. It looks like something wal mart would stick in your items in the packages, to keep you from walking out the store without paying.
Now, how samsung expects us to lug this around in my pocket without bending, breaking, or losing the flimsy thing is beyond me. But in all their wisdom, they made the doors like this. They're not the kind on some phones you'd expect where you stick your fingernail in and pop the door out. thats the only major inconvenience, right off the bat, i see with this phone. For that, I will give this review a 4 star review.
this review was made on 11/17/2017 and I will update through constant use any flaws or defects if I find any.
