Product details

The Galaxy J3 (2016) DUOS boasts a front that sets elegant design accents while at the same time providing a stunning visual experience. The narrow and completely black display frame is almost invisible and lets you dive into the big picture. The Galaxy J3 (2016) DUOS is remarkably compact with its 7.9 mm slim and 71 mm wide housing, which is also made possible by the slim display frame. With its rounded shape, it fits snugly and comfortably in your hand. At 2,600 mAh, the fully charged battery provides plenty of energy for intensive use. However, if the battery charge is running low, you can switch to ultra energy-saving mode and significantly extend the remaining battery life.

Das Samsung Galaxy J3 ist ein eher einfacheres Android-Smartphone mit großem Display, das sich sehr gut für E-Mail und Surfen eignet. Seine Kamera liefert aber nur schwache Videos und bei wenig Licht auch nur schwache Fotos. Gute Anleitung. Akku befriedigend. Gute Backup-Lösung: Das Gratis-Programm ?Smart Switch?...

Für 145 Euro (Onlinepreis) gibt es tatsächlich technisch gesehen bessere Handys (z.B...

Samsungs J-Serie ist günstig und erinnert an ältere Galaxy-S-Modelle. Das schlichte, robuste Plastik-Gehäuse ermöglicht den Wechsel des Akkus. Das 5-Zoll-Display zeigt sich scharf genug, kontrastreich und hell. Der Speicher ist allerdings winzig, die Kamera mäßig.

Das Samsung Galaxy J3 Duos erfüllt die Grundaufgaben eines Smartphones weitestgehend problemlos. Das Display ist recht ansehnlich, die Performance ausreichend, die Verständigung beim Telefonieren absolut in Ordnung. Dual-SIM und LTE sind die hervorstechenden Merkmale, zudem hat Samsung nicht am Akku gespart - wohl aber am Speicher...
