Speaking of legacy ports, the J3 2018 and Galaxy Express Prime 3 still use the outdated micro USB standard. Although in general, most entry-level phones have not removed the headphone jack. Another positive is the inclusion of the headphone jack, thankfully Samsung is one manufacturer who hasn’t nixed it. Holding the phones was easier and more comfortable without having to worry about covering a bottom firing speaker. Now sound won’t be easily muffled by your hand in landscape mode. I’m happy to say the J3 2018 and Galaxy Express Prime 3 placed it on the right side instead of the bottom. ![]() One design element often overlooked is the placement of the speaker. I was constantly getting warning messages about being out of space, 16GB doesn’t go that far these days. With only 16GB of storage, it’s a good thing the microSD card slot supports cards up to 400GB. Stored away behind this back panel is the nano-SIM slot, microSD card slot, and removable battery. Especially since Samsung reverses the order of the recent apps and back buttons from stock Android.īoth phones have a plastic build and feel solid in the hand with a removable back. In 2018 an ambient light sensor should be standard on all phones and not a premium feature.Īnother frustration is the absence of lights for the capacitive buttons making it more difficult to use in dimly lit or dark rooms. Instead, you are forced to manually adjust it with the slider. Without an ambient light sensor, the display will not change brightness on its own. In contrast, the absence of an ambient light sensor is quite shocking. Unsurprisingly, there is no fingerprint scanner in the home button nor is there one anywhere else on these phones. Similar to previous generations of Samsung phones they both include a home button flanked by two capacitive buttons for navigation. ![]() Overall the display looks good and is proof that a low-resolution display doesn’t mean it is low quality. The front features a 5-inch 720p LCD display with vivid colors and is bright enough to be viewed outdoors. That’s not surprising for an entry-level phone in this price range. There is nothing extraordinary about the design of the Samsung J3 2018 or Galaxy Express Prime 3. They share the exact same design and specs, only differing in two areas which I’ll touch on at the end of the review. While known by two different names these two phones are one and the same. ![]()
