Hardware

to provide the power for the Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 thinks for a processor Spreadtrum SC7731 1.5 GHz quad-core Cortex A7 but, supported by 1.5 GB of RAM and only 8 GB of memory using micro SD expandable internal, but can not be used as the main memory.

telephone Part & amp; antennas

Telephone Answer Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 medium-low level : difficult to remain without signal, but we will very often to hope that no abandon us that one “notch” that we see on the display. The audio quality from the earpiece is good is at the volume level of sound reproduction, the Speakerphone instead stood at average levels, and will allow the use in the car just up at medium speed; the other person perceives us well in all circumstances. The WiFi has a good scope but not very stable : This could create some problems when downloading a large volume of data as it happens, for example, when restoring the app on the initial configuration. High speed GPS fix and the accuracy of the same; Lack of gyro , however, could bring some problems in del’orientamento management, especially in case of pedestrian navigation.

Ergonomics, Design & amp; materials

Galaxy J3 2016 is a smartphone from small size (especially thickness) and, consequently, from the good ergonomics : the back cover is quite slippery but the overall grip is always firm; also use with one hand you can without too much problems even for those with small hands. Note on the flawless construction and without any creaking or assembly defect.

In terms of design the new Galaxy J3 takes up the lines of high-end models to more high but was unable to transmit sibling sensations, mainly because of the body and edges plastic completely that, though of good quality, will never succeed in quail metal feeling, while volendone imitate the aesthetics. Interesting choice of Front bichromatism black on gold, which goes to visually mitigate the magnitude of the side frames to display off. The new Galaxy J3 is still a pleasing smartphone to the eye and to the touch.



Display, audio & amp; Multimedia

The display of the Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 is probably the same panel used for the J5 last year: it is a 5-inch AMOLED with a resolution HD and 294 ppi, which They do not prevent us from seeing the pixels but only in unusual distances in everyday use. The colors reproduced here are rather saturated may be pleasing impact, for lovers of naturalness, however, will be impossible to find a setting that satisfies them despite the presence, among the options, the classic Samsung color profiles . Excellent blacks and the viewing angles as well as the maximum brightness, thanks to the “open” mode; shame about the Lack of light sensor that will force us to act manually to this value when the ambient light changes. A special mention deserves the ‘ excellent protection oleophobic on the front glass, which is not afraid of fingerprints even after long periods of use.

the rear speaker of Galaxy J3 2016 playing a sound by the volume and average quality : playing music lacks bass but sufficiently clear, distortion at maximum volume; everything improves with the use of headphones. This is combined with FM radio that works without major problems.

Video player stock on the Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 can play back all common video formats including MKV and DivX, up the maximum resolution of 1080p. Is not this the codec for AC3 audio as with the majority of smartphones.



Camera

The Samsung Galaxy camera J3 2016 fully reflects the price range: we can get some good results only in ideal lighting conditions; when it begins to set the software tries to increase the detail of the details, inevitably lead to create a striking digital noise. The focus speed and shot and rather poor but back flash is very powerful and allows you to “limit the damage” in the absence of ambient light; HDR is present but is almost no influence on the result. The front camera, finally manages to return the discrete shots thanks to the virtual flash simulated by a white display screen at the time of shooting; you can judge the results for yourself by the examples below.

photo Samsung software allows you to manage the usual options like the geotag, the resolution or the storage location; we have the presence of four filters and shooting mode more useful such as HDR, panoramic photos or multi-shot; we will still be downloaded instead further. Among these arrangements there is also a settagggio “pro” but does not allow us anything but fine adjustment of brightness, ISO and white balance.

Video , filmed at a maximum resolution of 720p, they are more than enough although not very bright; good captured audio that is crisp and clear although not very rich.

Autonomy

Really good battery life of Samsung Galaxy J3 2016: 2600 mAh ensure end of the day of intensive use, , but we hardly ever get to cover part of the next day. In an emergency, you can turn on classic or the ultra energy conservation, that will change the scale of grays and colors allow you to use only the essential features of the smartphone, significantly prolonging the time remaining.

Software

Touchwiz , as always, also customize Android 5.1.1 on Samsung Galaxy J3 2016: however, we find ourselves faced with a version ” lighter “ compared to the interface present on the top of the range. We will not have it “smart” functions such as Direct-call or stand-by Smart, also lacks the Briefing screen, but remain the “easy” mode and quick gesture to initiate a call or send an SMS using swipe on a selected contact. From here you can use the function for USB OTG managed very well by the standard File Manager.

Fortunately, given the scarcity of internal memory, there are many pre-installed : right MyGalaxy, the Galaxy App and Smart Manager usual applications. The system, when used with the necessary calm, moves without jamming but as soon as we’re going to ask for something extra to the processor, we might run into small slowdowns and sporadic blocks, for example, during updates of applications concurrently with other operations.

Web browser

The browser of Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 performs well in all circumstances : obviously the rendering speed will not be comparable to that of the highest, but the reactivity is good end terminals, as well as the management of the heaviest Web sites; there are no particular problems to report in the internet navigation point of view.

Gaming

The evils GPU 400 on the Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 lets you play a good graphic detail, however, framerate not high we have with heavy 3D titles, could go to undermine the gaming experience. Excellent thermal management that guarantees low temperatures on this smartphone bodies.



CONCLUSIONS

Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 is an entry-level smartphone and how such should be evaluated; However, there are important limitations particularly because of the low amount of memory, from an optimization not perfect and small lacks (backlit keys, lack of brightness sensor, etc) that can “complicate” l ‘ daily use. Before purchase so you should properly evaluate your needs based on the peculiarities of this smartphone.
