        The 16GB model was (and still is) unusable on Android 9, as the system itself took up most of the storage. Good luck using it nowadays.

              It was my beloved phone. Now I can't daily it anymore. The battery drains 1% every minute and samsung made it hard to replace. My brother had it too but broke the display. Went to 3rd party phone repair center paid 70 euros to get it changed and it STILL broke after a few more months. For this price you could get the same phone refurbished and never tinkered with. However, it's not worth doing it anymore for a reason stated above. I don't know what to buy, there are no compacts phones anymore. Is Doogee S mini worth to buy or not?

                    Using this phone since 2018, battery works just fine after 6 years, but being in stock rom was miserable, installing a custom rom really improved its performance by today's standard. Great phone for daily drive, not recommend for heavy gaming

                        It's a perfect phone for me- small enough for one hand, great connectivity, solid camera and sound.
                        I've had issues with lag and random restarts, solved all by flashing stock ROM, and disabling all unnecessary apps. Now free space is always more than 4GB, and not a single restart, zero lags. Chrome can load 20 pages w/o issues. Apps open much faster. It's the most reliable phone that I had.

                            This is the best Samsung Galaxy. I don't need no ultra, we have a square display right over here at a literal fraction of the price. I'm daily driving it right now. Compact size, great battery life, no bs cameras, no dead pixel front camera holes in display, 3.5mm headphone jack, micro sd card slot... Scamsung in 2024, Apple, Google, Sony, fkin Sony... do better!!

                              Anonymous, 15 May 2024Is j5 2017 good for gamingVery basic games only. No graphic heavy games, eventually on low settings you will maybe get 30fps
