      It does everything that you want it to. If I could upgrade the OS to Android 10+, I'd happily keep it for another 6 years. Elle, 27 Mar 2022Bought it on 2016 and now it's 2022 I'm still using it. So worth it.

      What is the difference between samsung galaxy j3 2016 and 2017?
      catrina
      almost 2 years ago
      The Galaxy J3 (2017), which succeeds last year's Galaxy J3 (2016), drops the Super AMOLED display in favor of a TFT display, but comes with a vastly improved processor as well as increased RAM and storage. It also features higher resolution front- and rear-facing cameras, and a newer version of Android.

    The Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) is an entry-level handset but one which has most of the basics well covered, from the design to the camera and screen.

    The Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) is a top buy. Costing a little over £100, this is a smartly-styled superslim phone with a high-definition 5 inch AMOLED screen that outperforms any rival at this price. Benefiting from a quadcore processor, 4G Super-Voice compatibility, and a big battery, the J3 is an all-round performer. Budget smartphones don't offer more!
