Product details

The Galaxy J3 (2016) DUOS impresses with a front that sets elegant design accents while providing a stunning viewing experience. The slim and completely black display frame is barely noticeable, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the large display. The Galaxy J3 (2016) DUOS is remarkably compact with its 7.9 mm slim and 71 mm wide body, thanks in part to the narrow display frame. Its rounded shape makes it comfortable and easy to grip in your hand. With a fully charged 2,600 mAh battery, it offers plenty of energy for intensive use. If the battery level does run low, you can switch to ultra power-saving mode to 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?...

Okay, die Wertigkeit ist bei diesem Handy wirklich gut, aber das haben die Wettbewerber mittlerweile auch ganz gut drauf. 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...
