Please dont make the mistake I did

4 years ago
Dont buy this phone. I saw other reviews that mentioned how slow and unresponsive this phone is, and I ignored them thinking it was user error. This is the slowest phone I have ever had in my life, regardless of whether its connected to wifi or celullar data. When opening any app besides email, text and Tmobile, it takes roughly 2-3 minutes to load. Making it terrible to use during an emergency as well as when you have a 10 minute break at work and need to look something up quickly. The cameras are awful as well. I got this phone to use reddit, text, watch occasional videos and draw, not really anything that should warrant such a horrible experience.

They called me Mr. Glass

3 years ago
I had to buy this twice because the screen is as fragile as delicate glass. Cracked up the screen within days. Ridiculous. If you liked the J3 Star, this is a better version of it, but then make sure you buy this with an extremely good cover or you will be disappointed as I was. Thank you for reading to the end.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Crazy unlike any other charger plug, but at least now I have 2 ::throwing up emoji:: (that's right, the throwing up emoji is not a "valid" one, the error message gods told me). Just be prepared for that nugget.

Great Phone for your basic needs

4 years ago
I bought the Samsung Galaxy A12- Black- 32GB about a month ago and so far the phone runs smoothly. Streaming YouTube videos, Spotify, and surfing through the internet is great. Messaging, receiving, and outgoing calls are smoothly with no interruptions, lag, or drop calls. Camera quality is not excellent but gets the job done capturing video and pictures. Overall, the phone is great for those who are not heavy users.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Slow processor and insensitive touch screen

3 years ago
Even with comparatively small number of apps, these models don't have the capacity to multitask, or processor [functionalities] faster. My phone often gets crashed/restart by itself without any prompt. Texting ability [completes the wordings slow] and touch screen sensitivity are poor. Despite being cheap with few service providers such as T Mobile or Spectrum, I wouldn't recommend this product.

No, I do not recommend this product.

My own one!

Couldn't of made a better choice!

3 years ago
Ever since my first Samsung device I was determined to have another. When I received this one I knew I made the right choice. As for the reviews below stating how slow this device was. DEFINITELY NOT TRUE! The response time and refresh rate is remarkable. If this device becomes unresponsive and sluggish, it's the user controll and capasity overload from user applications. For a reasonable priced device, with features you must have, you won't regret it! Along with T-mobile and their killer deals you can't go wrong.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great phone

4 years ago
Bought this phone for my mom and she loves it. Takes great photos, nice screen size and access to all the apps she needs. I definitely recommend this phone for the price and if you do not need it for much more than surfing the web, maps, some apps and general texting/calling.
