The Worst (Modern) Phone Ever - The Samsung Galaxy J3

The Samsung Galaxy J3 was my first ever phone. It wasn't super bad, and it even had some key advantages, like an 8MP camera and AMOLED screen, but my insurance replacement phone was the next generation J3... with even cheaper parts and and an ugly design. It's slower than mashed potatoes and was a painful experience for 12 year old me. But it got my foot in the door of smartphones and gave me mobile internet access. Why is this phone so bad, though, and what makes it unique? Let's discover.

We have these as work phones. They’re slow straight out of the box, most people keep their old ones on hand just so they don’t have to use this.

Bro the heat death of the universe will happen before this phone is able to take that call from your mom 😂

I used a Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016 version). My first phone (Motorola Moto e6) had crappier battery life than the Samsung Galaxy J3 but honestly I can see why you would dislike the Samsung Galaxy J3 so much.

I actually liked my 2016 J3 (I bought it when it launched)

That camera looks very disgusting, it's so different compared to the 4S from 2011 while being 6 years newer

Correction: Galaxy A53 is 450USD
A33 is 350USD (My current phone)

that phone is very slow asf. but many people here in my country especially poor ones and elder people use that phone just for texting and fb lite. and i remember before junior high days one of my classmate also used that phone for playing mobile legends(a chinese mobile version of league of legends. and it is so popular in my country) and the performance i so freaking garbage i estimate the fps is average 20 to 30 maximum and one time my classmate yelled at classroom and he said "this thing is goddamn slow".
