Reviews for the Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge

70% Samsung Galaxy J3 Emerge
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
The Samsung Galaxy J3 emerge isn't particularly special, but it's a good option for Boost Mobile users looking for an affordable phone that's easy to use in one hand. If you prefer a phablet, the LG X Power offers a 5.5-inch screen and longer battery life. The Kyocera Hydro Reach is waterproof and even more affordable, but its older hardware and software combine for lackluster performance. That makes the J3 Emerge a happy medium, especially when you can find it on sale.

Qualcomm Adreno 505: Mid range graphics card integrated in the Snapdragon 430 and 435 SoCs. Based on the 500 generation and supports modern standards like Vulkan 1.0, OpenGL ES 3.1 + AE, OpenCL 2.0 and DirectX 12.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

This display is tiny. You will probably see very little on the screen and be able to use mini-resolutions.

Samsung: Samsung Group is the largest South Korean conglomerate and was founded in 1938. Samsung Group employed 489,000 people in 2014 and is one of the world's largest companies in terms of revenue and market strength. The name Samsung means "Three Stars" in Korean and represents the three sons of the company's founder. The company was founded in 1938 as a grocery store. With its subsidiary Samsung Electronics, founded in 1969, Samsung took up the production of electrotechnical items, focusing on consumer electronics and household appliances at an early stage. Other branches in which the large corporation is active include mechanical engineering, automobiles (Hyundai), insurance, wholesale, real estate and leisure. Samsung manufactures a wide range of electronic products, including smartphones, televisions, home appliances and semiconductors. The company's Galaxy line of smartphones is one of the most popular in the world. Samsung is also a major player in the semiconductor industry, making memory chips and processors for many other electronics manufacturers.


70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
