Gene Ettison (Sep 16, 2017) on Gadgets 360

I bought this phone in July of 2017, and while it serves its purpose, it is definitely not fast enough to compete with the other Samsung phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S6, S7 or the new S8. After 3 months of use, I find that it severely slows down after a couple of days without restarting it......possibly due to the extreme amount of bloatware in it. For the price though ($149.00), it's not entirely a bad phone. However, I would advise...if possible, to just save up until you're able to buy one of the more expensive ones. You'd be better off.

AWFUL-DON'T BUY IT

Bailey Dempsey (Oct 19, 2017) on Gadgets 360

First, I am an android fan and Samsung has never disappointed me...until NOW! This J7 has NO PROCESSING POWER. If I get a call or text while I am on fb or one of my other apps, I CANNOT ANSWER THE CALL BECAUSE THE SCREEN FREEZES. I have tried to return this device twice. It is not worth anything. Unfortunately I am paying monthly for it. I have never written a bad review for a product before. I am compelled to not have you deal with the same misery I am dealing with. I am currently shopping for a phone that has POWER!!!
