Background and Identification

The Samsung Galaxy J3 Duos (2016) is a member of the Samsung Smartphone line, produced as a less expensive alternative to models like the Samsung Galaxy S7. The Galaxy J3 Duos was praised for having a color-rich screen and being a cost-effective option, but it was criticized for having a relatively poor camera and for lacking auto-brightness settings. A key feature of the Galaxy J3 Duos (2016) is a replaceable battery, meaning it is significantly easier to replace than other smartphone batteries. Being that the battery is one of the main reasons for smartphone failure, this is definitely a huge benefit.

The Samsung Galaxy J3 Duos (2016) is a thin (7.9 mm), rectangular touchscreen device. It has a 5.0-inch screen that extends almost the full length of the smartphone, with only small screenless areas at the top and bottom of the device. The Samsung logo is visible on the front of the device just above the screen. Basic controls are also located on the front of the device below the screen. It comes in three colors: white, black, and gold.
