Want to unlock your Samsung phone? Seeing a lot of errors? If you want to unlock your Samsung phone from its carrier, then you’re in the right place. Here at UnlockBase, we continue to innovate and create better and easier ways to get your phone unlocked in a timely manner.
Just like any Android phone, unlocking Samsung is relatively easy and should go smoothly. In fact, we have discovered 3 (three) different ways to get your phone unlocked from its carrier.
Here are your options:
➤ Get an unlock code – for those who don’t want the hassle of unlocking technicalities/ not tech-savvy
➤ Cable Unlock Software – For those who want to unlock their phones sooner and faster
➤ Mobile Device Unlock App (Only applies to T-Mobile and MetroPCS phones)
3 Things To Consider Before Getting Any Unlock Service Or Buying Any Unlock Code:
Make sure your phone is NOT BLACKLISTED.
Make sure you have all the necessary information about your phone.
Make sure your phone is running on STOCK ROM.
1. How To Get An Unlock Code And How To Use It
If getting an unlock code is the way you want to go, you have to prepare 3 vital information about your phone:
We need to know your IMEI number and locked-to carrier because that’s what we will use to generate an unlock code for your Samsung. Note that we don’t randomly create codes through black magic and second-guessing, we are connected to several vendors and carriers to get the code specific for your phone. This is how we guarantee you that your unlock codes work.
In addition to that, your phone’s IMEI status also lets us set proper expectations if we can unlock it and if you can still use your phone if we can unlock it.
Note: Blacklisted phones can still be carrier unlocked, (provided you have given accurate IMEI and carrier information) however, the possibility of using it is limited. For example, if your phone is blacklisted in the US, you can’t use it in the US but you can use it with any carrier outside the US.
If you don’t know your IMEI Status, you can check it here. If you otherwise know that your phone is “clean” and you have all the necessary information ready, you can proceed to the Samsung unlock page and enter all the necessary information.
We have several payment options that you can choose from and you will be receiving an email confirmation from our team about the status of your order.
The email that we will send you will not only contain one, but 3 or more codes to use. This is because there are several lock levels for many Samsung models.
The unlock codes emailed to you will look something like this: Unfreeze: 12345678 NCK: 12345678 SCK: 12345678 SPCK: 12345678
Most Samsung phones will only ask for the NCK code, however, SCK or SPCK codes apply when 2 or more codes are needed to unlock. You will know which code to apply depending on how your phone responded or prompted after you put a non-carrier sim card.
The Unfreeze code is needed when your phone prompts “Phone Freeze” or “Return for Service” whenever you enter an unlock code. In that case, you have to enter the Unfreeze code first before the NCK code.
However, please note that the Unfreeze code does not guarantee or warranty success as they are issued free of charge as an added bonus with certain Samsung unlocking services. To help you get rid of the Phone Freeze, you can contact a local smartphone specialist or Samsung itself so you can get to the page where you can enter the unlock code you got from us.
The following are the most common scenarios for unlocking through codes:
For older Samsung models, like the Galaxy Note 4, you have to identify how many lock levels your phone has. Please follow the following instructions:
➤Insert sim from your carrier.
➤ Dial *#7465625#
➤Your phone will prompt you a slightly different colored screen that will usually look like this:
[xxx] Network lock
[xxx] Subset lock
[xxx] SP lock
(xxx = Value ON or OFF)
Network Lock ON: Enter NCK code
Subset Lock ON: Enter SCK code
SP Lock ON: Enter SPCK Code
If your phone isn’t giving you any menu after dialing the code, then you can follow the usual unlock process, like that of the S7 Edge that you can see below.
Note that these steps vary per model, so do not take these steps as a general instruction for all Samsung models. Please visit our unlock Samsung page and carefully choose your phone’s model.
For newer Samsung models, it’s pretty straightforward, for Samsung S7 edge the process is more likely this:
Insert SIM card from a source different than your original Service Provider (i.e. if you have a Rogers phone, use a non-Rogers SIM card).
If you received one, please enter your MCK (Unfreeze Key) and hit “Unlock” button. Note: You will get “Unsuccessful message” but don’t worry that’s fine when you type MCK
Now type the NCK (Network Code) and hit the “Unlock” button.
Your phone is now Unlocked !
EXTRA INSTRUCTIONS: if you get “Unsuccessful” again after type the NCK then:
6. Hit “Dismiss” button and compose *2767*3855# on phone keypad.
7. Wait for the phone to restart, this operation will erase all data from your phone!
8. Retry the step 1 to 5 above !
2. Cable Unlock: Faster Software Unlocker Exclusively from UnlockBase!
If you think you are techy enough to download, install and run a software to unlock your device, then our Cable Unlock software must be what you are looking for.

3. Mobile Device Unlock App (T-Mobile and MetroPCS)
However, these two carriers have unlock requirements that you may not be qualified yet at the moment. Nonetheless, UnlockBase can help you unlock your device using the same mobile app. We can remotely register your device’s IMEI as “eligible” on your carrier’s database without any unlock code.
Please be sure to check your device’s model number on the list of supported devices. Also, if your device is blacklisted or reported as lost or stolen, we will not be able to unlock it.
Select one of these two services below to unlock with “Mobile Device Unlock“
If you already purchase our Mobile Device Unlock App service, you can follow these easy instructions to guide you in your phone’s unlock:
From that Application list, tap Device Unlock.
Tap Continue.
Choose the desired device unlock type: Permanent Unlock

The simplicity of mobile issues before, like SIM network unlock PIN and changing themes has definitely escalated into something bigger today. With most phone manufacturers aim to address these sorts of concern, the evolution of high-quality smartphones has consequently changed these portable equipment’s sole purpose – to make communication easier for people.
With that said, it can be expected that the turnover of simple issues like SIM network unlock PIN to camera lens quality has dominated the manufacturers’ checklist of must-haves in a mobile phone. Indeed, this can be seen in the newest and incoming flagship units of well-known brands such as Apple’s iPhone X and Samsung’s Galaxy S9. Here are our few main points in the grandest mobile rivalry of the nearing future.
A Review on iPhone X’s Revolutionary Specs
Whether you have witnessed how the iPhone X turned its loyal fans go wild in its official announcement last September of this year, the final look and feel of the said mobile unit was a definite to go for.
To fill you in with the details, here are the major considerations on why the iPhone X is a must-have:
A bezel-less screen and a notch
In fact, this one is the boldest change Apple has ever implemented on its units. Not only did it make its screen a complete viewing platform, but it also has finally let go of its home button.
It used a water-resistant technology to keep the device from damages water can bring, incorporated a full, Super Retina OLED display (458 PPI) that measures up to 5.8 inches, and retained the True Tone display technology. All of which enabling this futuristic device to better address users’ needs when it comes to their viewing experience.
In addition, it included a notch on the upper part of the phone where a lot of sensors reside, enabling the face mapping technology possible.
Face ID
As we’ve mentioned above, Apple has finally let go of its iconic home button for swiping gestures, and its Touch ID fingerprint sensor for a Face ID. Indeed, it may seem a little bit messy at first, but Apple is deciding that people have to embrace the future. By that, they meant the iPhone X.
Through the Face ID, users will be able to unlock their phones with just a look at it. Apple made sure to integrate the finest technologies in the notch to make this security feature possible on its anniversary phone. True to their words, the phone is not only able to recognize you during the day, but also even in the night with its flood illuminator that projects light to your face to make the sensor work.
This feature is also applicable for Apple Pay and third-party apps that support Touch ID.
A11 Bionic processor
This processor, as introduced in the iPhone 8, will also appear in the iPhone X. One can expect that an iPhone performance will never be the same again, as it includes:
2 performance cores
4 high-quality efficiency cores
exclusive self-designed GPU
Additionally, the most look forwarded artificial intelligence powered animojis. Need we say more?
Dual-lens camera
This thing about dual-lens cameras is prevalent over premium smartphones today. Apple, in turn, has included one for them, but in a really exciting manner. It has equipped the iPhone X with two 12MP rear cameras that both features an optical image stabilization (OIS). These sensors allow the camera to avoid noise and take better high-quality photos in a faster manner. You will never go wrong with Apple’s products when it comes to photos, indeed.
With this information, one can say that the iPhone X is one of the future phones people will finally get to experience. The overall innovation in the said anniversary phone of Apple has opened a whole new level of mobile experience in their newest product.
A Sneak Peek on Samsung Galaxy S9’s Leaked Specs
Just a few months after the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+‘s release, people can’t help but wonder about the S9’s look and feel. Not to mention that Apple has also released the official look of their anniversary model. Here are a few details we collected from the leaked information of Samsung Galaxy S9 as per Trusted Reviews writing.
An all-around curve
According to Trusted Reviews, a Korean news outlet has reported that Samsung’s working on a lamination process to make phone screens curved on all four sides. This particular information goes to show that Samsung is particularly focused on transforming its flagship Galaxy unit’s display to a full edge-to-edge, almost nonexistent bezel, curved infinity display.
The in-screen fingerprint sensor
Along with the four curved edges, Samsung seems to also let go of its signature Home button in place of an in-screen fingerprint sensor. (Why is everyone doing that?) This one’s good news though, since Samsung will also have to let go of the guilt-inducing smudge-prone fingerprint scanner beside its rear camera lens.
The 7-nanometer processor
We have two things here: a Snapdragon 845 chipset (newest of its line, however, not entirely guaranteed) and the 7nm processor. Just imagine how small that is.
The thing about the Snapdragon 845 chipset is that it’ll surely create a new mobile experience out of the device given the speed and a maximum number of applications it can process. Along with it is the 7nm CPU architecture that’s expected to be integrated into the device. This little number defines the distance between each transistor that makes computing tasks to take place. Simply put, the smaller the number, the more transistors can fit on a single chip – which only means a much better performance that you can expect from the device.
The Exynos chipset
What may be a guaranteed part of the new Samsung Galaxy unit is the new Exynos chipset deployed with an LTE modem. As reports say, it is a preparation for the upcoming 5G era of network speed given the emphasized 1.2GBps optimal download speed.
Thus, no more room for SIM network unlock PIN issues, hopefully.
Key Takeaway
With these points given, despite that of Samsung Galaxy S9’s unconfirmed specs, these two mobile models are definitely moving into the future through integrating the latest phone technologies and solutions. It may need some getting used to, but it’s still coming – whether it’s today or two years after.
Moreover, it doesn’t matter if you are pro Face ID or in-screen fingerprint sensor – what matters now is that you are going to experience a whole new level of convenience through your smartphone unit. You can wait for November to buy an iPhone X or a few months after the official announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S9 on February 2018, feel free to choose!

How do you know you’ve already purchased the right phone for your needs? We know! That’s when you get to do everything with your mobile – bring it whenever, wherever, and snap the best shots to treasure through time. Our pick? The Samsung Galaxy S7 from MetroPCS. Not only will you get high-quality specs for your mobile phone, but you also get own it in the best deal yet. Here are its priced details that you shouldn’t miss!
Display and Design
If we’ll talk about design, there’s no way you can go wrong with Samsung products. They are premium, smartly designed, and are technically adept with the latest technologies out there.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 sports a similar display with its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S6, especially with the AMOLED screen size and resolution of 5.1 inches and 2,560 by 1440 respectively. This time, however, the brightness volume has been increased to a significant level – thus, making the S7 screen even more highly visible for users.
It also appeared the same in terms of the rear panel’s design, only that S7 featured a thicker, more rounded, narrower back than that of the S6 to house a slightly bigger battery and avoid the camera lens from looking bumpy. Aside from that, it still has the same metal-glass unibody overall, along with Samsung’s signature home button at the front, a Micro USB charging port, and a sensor.
Another point about S7’s design is that it came with Samsung’s waterproofing technology rated IP68. This meant that the device is fully protected from water spills, splashes, or dunks that can either slow or damage regular phones.
Camera
When it comes to camera quality, Samsung never fell behind. It has the right camera specs to achieve a picture-perfect shot at any time of the day.
The S7 has stepped up its game with a dual-pixel rear camera, thus, making low-light pictures easier to capture. It has integrated a 12MP camera despite the S6 being 16. You might have wondered, why? The 12MP camera included larger, higher number of focus pixels enabling the said camera to focus faster and perform better in low light.
It also featured a CMOS 5MP front camera for snapping smooth, post-worthy selfies. If you have a problem taking selfies in dark places, you may also make use of its Selfie Flash mode to capture your selfie shots better.
With regards to its video shooting capability, the Samsung Galaxy S7 can carry a 4,000 resolution at 30 fps from its rear camera and a 1080p from the selfie, which only means one thing: a good alternative for shooting travel documentaries!
Connectivity and Network Performance
For MetroPCS mobile phones, the Samsung Galaxy S7 is worth the contract. Aside from its built-in connectivity protocols Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 4.2, ANT+, NFC, GPS GLONASS, and USB 2.0, it is also integrated with Samsung’s Smart Switch that enables a faster PC sync.
Moreover, its network is also deployed with LTE connection supporting fast browsing, and streaming online. It also supports good voice-over-LTE (VoLTE) and Wi-Fi calling.
Processor and Battery
In this time and era, mobile users are more informed of the specs that they should focus on. The good news is, Samsung knows that. Thus, in this flagship phone, a user can expect that the smartphone’s free of lags and can very well launch apps without slowing down. Thanks to the S7, it is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 clocked at 2.15GHz processor that fulfills the needs of the majority of mobile users.
Moreover, the S7 is also equipped with an impressively huge battery capacity of 3000mAh matching up to the heavy specs of said model.
Software and Memory
The Samsung Galaxy S7 is also revved up with Samsung’s exclusive custom UI skin along with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow on top of it. It included restyled icons and a simpler home screen and app drawer customization to make it user-friendlier. Among its interesting features is the Always-on screen, which allowed users to peek on the time, battery status, notifications, and the calendar without accessing the phone wholly, thus, minimizing consumed battery life.
In order to make the unit user-friendlier, Samsung allowed a maximum of 32GB for internal storage along with a 200GB external memory slot. This is so people can freely store in photos, videos, and other multimedia files in the comfort of their mobile.
Good thing, MetroPCS made sure default apps didn’t compromise the benefits of the built-in memory.
What’s New with the Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930T1)?
The era of huge, full screen mobile phones has dominated every user’s palm. However, the majority continues to cringe over not being able to fully hold these types of phones. With that said, Samsung offers a completely upgraded version of their flagship phones: a full HD Super AMOLED screen with a narrower body through the face of Samsung Galaxy S7.
Moreover, it also featured a solution to the one of the most common issue – water. Through its rated IP68 water resistant technology integrated in the S7, it will be easier to keep the unit away from damages of water spills, splashes, or dunks that could severely destruct a phone. Even a cup of coffee spilled onto your S7 won’t be a problem anymore!
What would users look forward in Samsung’s flagship unit is the camera specs. For Samsung Galaxy S7, Samsung decided to integrate a 12MP dual-pixel camera along with fast autofocus function enabling the unit to capture great photos in low light. The 5MP selfie camera also features a Selfie Flash mode, thus, enabling users to better capture photos during nighttime.
Furthermore, purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S7 included the Gear VR headset as promotion during its early launch. It made the unit more likeable especially that the VR app featured tons of movies, videos, games, and others allowing the high-tech equipment to be enjoyed by users in a whole new level of mobile experience.

“Not Registered on Network” is an error that hinders you to make phone calls or any other network related phone functions and it is commonly experienced with Samsung Galaxy line of smart devices. This error is caused by 3 major reasons:
Your phone is not detecting or recognizing your SIM card.
Nonetheless, we figured a way around this issue and here are 4 clever ways to get it solved.
1. Remove and Insert SIM
It’s better to start with the physical connections first when troubleshooting your phone, so don’t skip this part! Your phone’s sim card slot must be getting loose so, try to remove and insert your SIM card again because that might just solve this trifling issue.
Turn OFF your phone by holding both the Power Button and Home together.
While the phone is off, wait for 2 minutes.
After 2 minutes remove the battery and the sim card from the phone.
Press the Power button and the Home button together 10 consecutive times.
Next, hold the power and home key for 1-3 minutes.
Now insert your SIM card and battery.
Turn ON your phone.
With your phone on, remove then re-insert your SIM card 5 times.
If you think the SIM card slot is too loose for you to fit in a paper, etc you can try, just make sure you don’t break it.
2. Manually Selecting Network Provider
If you just had your cell phone network unlocked, your new network provider probably has not detected your IMEI on their network, so you have to manually choose or set it up on your phone’s settings. On other phones, it is labeled APN (Access Point Name) and you can choose to search or manually enter your network’s name.
Go to Settings.
Then go to Wireless and Networks.
Tap Mobile Networks (If not found then tap first ‘More settings’).
Now tap Network Operators.
After you have completed searching select your Network Operator.
3. Update Software
Sometimes software bugs cause network issues and a simple software update gets the job done. Just make sure you are connected to a strong and reliable WIFI connection. Also, make sure your phone has enough battery to do the update, it’s advisable to have it 100% charged for the software update, as this sometimes eat up all of your battery’s power.
Get your phone Up and Running. Charged and ready.
Place your SIM Card In Phone.
Navigate to Settings of your Phone.
Scroll down to the extreme bottom.
Select Software Update.
Wait for the cell phone to reboot and complete update.
Rooting a device is like getting an access to your phone’s operating system code, hence the word “root.” Now, for sure they don’t want you to play with this thing so, we do not really encourage doing this unless you’ve no choice, but if you’re already out of warranty, you can do it anyway.
Root your mobile device.
Download from Google Play and install “Busy Box” on your device.
Download this “Ariza patch” and install it on your mobile device.
Now, open the app from the app drawer.
Just click on the button saying “PATCH” and it’s done.

The official announcement about the newest flagship phablet will be on August 23, while the release may be on September 15 for a few countries, and on October for most regions.
It is expected that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will inherit the iris scanner, the water and dust resistant feature that’s rated IP68, the wireless, fast charging via USB-C, and an improved Bixby AI.
For upgrades, the newest Note unit may be expected to include a 4K screen, dual lens camera, 3,300mAh, a 64GB internal storage, an Exynos 8895 chipset along with a 6GB of RAM, and an upgraded S Pen.
It’s been a while since the grand launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus in the market. Naturally, people are anticipating the company’s official announcement when Note 8 is going to be released.
Truly, it would mark another era in the Note series, and people planning to purchase it will definitely go for the option to unlock their phone. For those who want to learn more about this phone, here are some details we know so far:
When is the official release?
As per TechRadar’s current update, Samsung is going to be releasing more news on their newest flagship phablet on August 23. Many sources are saying that there is a high possibility for the company to release Note 8 on September 15 in the market. However, they also noted that some countries will have to wait until October before getting the said phone.
Among the first few countries that will get the newest Note 8 are the US, Australia, and the UK.
How will it look like?
A variety of leaks have been appearing online, and while these are mainly rumors – a number of individuals are acknowledging that there is some truth in them. Hence, they believe that the leaks could be showing how Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 will look like.
Display and Design
Samsung is particularly known for its high-quality display. With the recent leaks showcasing the unit’s display, it was found that consumers will not only be looking forward to the usual infinity display that is common among the latest Samsung units. Rather, a pixel-dense 4K screen, measuring up to 6.3 inches and is equipped with a Super AMOLED display capable of a 1440 by 2960p resolution – which will perfectly make a great viewing experience for consumers.
With regards to Note 8’s possible design, some renders have shown a large, glass-metal molded unit with Samsung’s signature bezel-free, infinity display. It also showed a dual-lens camera and the LED flash beside the fingerprint sensor on the rear panel. While these renders may seem like mere rumors, it’s confirmed that the new Note 8 will include a dual-lens camera.
Camera
With the current trend of dual-lens camera technology, it’s possible that Samsung will integrate it in Note 8. As far as Samsung is considered, some leaks showed that the newest Note unit will have a 12MP wide-angle lens along with a 13-MP telephoto to pair it with. Through this combination, a 3x optical zoom may be expected from the camera’s capability in capturing vivid, high-resolution images.
However, some leaks also showed that the Note 8 will be featuring two 12MP camera lenses, wherein the other is a f/2.4 aperture telephoto that is capable of 2x optical zoom.
Whichever it may be, analysts and consumers alike are expecting the Samsung to integrate a dual lens camera on its newest Note unit.
Power and Battery
Battery is a sensitive subject for Samsung, given the Galaxy Note 7’s previous issue. While it may be tempting to jump on along with ASUS’s recent battery upgrade of 5,000mAh – it may be better for the South Korean brand to play it safe.
According to leaks, the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be powered up by 3,300mAh battery capacity. Indeed, this is an adequate battery capacity that consumers can be satisfied about.
Furthermore, an Exynos 8895 chipset may be expected from the Note 8 along with a 6GB of RAM. Though the size is pretty much too good to be true, an infinity display deserves a good amount of RAM for multitasking purposes.
Software and Memory
Consumers may expect Note 8 to run in Android 7.1.1 Nougat along with the upgraded Samsung software, the Samsung Experience (formerly known as TouchWiz).
More so, the Note 8 is also expected to feature a 64GB internal storage. It is also equipped with a microSD card slot.
Special Features
Ready to get more excited? Well, for the special features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, it’s believed that there’s a lot to look forward to, especially with the integration of Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus’s fingerprint scanner. Though this time, it will be farther away from the camera so that you won’t smudge it in case you miss the scanner.
With the signature S Pen of Note units, the Note 8 has been rumored to come in with a built-in speaker, though the purpose of the said feature is yet to be concluded.
Moving forward, it is said that the new Note unit will be inheriting the iris scanner from Note 7, the water and dust resistant feature that’s rated IP68, the wireless, fast charging via USB-C, and an improved Bixby AI.
Key Takeaway
With how these leaks and rumors are going, there’s definitely a lot to look forward to Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8. Just be sure to get ready your pockets because all those upgrades will sure cost quite a sum.

It is without a doubt that Samsung has released another unit to continue their Galaxy J series. With Samsung Galaxy J3’s success, the opportunity to make another bigger and better unit is undeniable – hence, the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime. For some, J7 may look a bit like Galaxy S7, however, the unit has its own features to flaunt which users would definitely love – yet again.
Design
With its launch last September 2016, Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime has definitely made a good impression with its undeniably great design that is oozing with elegance. As some would say, it indeed looked like that of Galaxy S7 only that it had a more square-shaped body. The unit is boasting a good 5.5 inch full HD TFT display with a 1920×1080 resolution and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 further proving Samsung’s capability in producing quality display panels. Its overall slim metallic body isn’t everything as the unit also features smooth curved edges that make the phone comfortable to use.
Moreover, the buttons are well within reach, where the volume rocker is placed on the left and the power button on the right – hence, no need to worry about its size. Surprisingly, the top spot of the device was left blank, while the bottom sported the micro-USB, microphone, and 3.5mm headphone jack. Furthermore, the micro SD and SIM card slots were moved to the left side along with the volume rocker, whereby the micro SD capacity extends to a maximum of 256GB storage for users to enjoy.
Camera
Samsung indeed gave J7 Prime the premium feel as the camera’s flushed to the panel perfectly displaying the ultra slim body that the unit offers. Furthermore, the camera remains of quality as J7 Prime ensures its users a 13MP rear camera that is equipped with an f/1.9 aperture to capture great photos regardless of the low-light setting and an 8-MP front camera that is also equipped with an f/1.9 aperture for better, brighter selfies. Additionally, the camera’s capable of shooting 1080-pixel videos which make it more appealing to users and soon-to-be Samsung customers.
Connectivity and Network Performance
With MetroPCS as its carrier, the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime is capable of a blazing fast LTE connection allowing more downloads and uploads. It also comes with great connectivity protocols including Wi-Fi 802.11, Bluetooth 4.1, A-GPS with GLONASS, and NFC making it possible to users to pay via their phones. In addition, to make it possible for users to share files from their phone to their laptops or personal computers, the device allows a USB OTG connection.
Power and Battery
Powered by an Exynos 7870 chipset that is clocked at 1.6 GHz and a 3GB of RAM as its company – the J7 Prime works like a boss. Multitasking wise, the device performs beyond what it is expected. Navigating was smooth, hence, apps are launched easily without any hiccups. Furthermore, Samsung gave away a 3300 mAh further allowing users to enjoy watching movies, listening to music, and of course, keeping in the game without interruptions. Definitely, this device will get you through the day smoothly with its astounding battery life.
Software and Memory
The J7 Prime runs Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow along with the usual Samsung’s custom layer which is the TouchWiz UI which users are already familiar of. In addition, the device has a built-in 32GB internal storage and allows you to extend the storage to a maximum of 256GB via a micro SD slot.
What’s New with Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime
Moving on to the fun part, what does the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime has to offer? For starters, the J7 Prime was a definite upgrade from its siblings. With its premium design that is oozing with elegance – from the ultra slim body that does not let bumps get in the way, the enlarged screen that allows optimal viewing, and the smooth curved edges – makes it more comfortable to hold. Furthermore, J7 Prime flaunts its 13MP main camera that is armed with a F1.9 lens to help users capture better, brighter, and crispier photos regardless of a low-light setting. Additionally, the device also features a Wide Selfie function on its 8MP front camera allowing users to capture great groupies and beautiful selfie backgrounds with the use of your palm.

If you’ve been a loyal customer of Samsung, you’d know very well how they work on their products. They have been among the fastest producers of smartphones as of today, and undeniably a trusted brand for quality products. Continuing their Galaxy series, Samsung has released the grand and prime unit to watch out for – the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime.
Design
Samsung has launched Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime on September 2014. Recognizably a Galaxy unit, the handset displays a simple yet professional design, which casual users probably loved about the series’ lineup. Being budget-friendly, it appears to be made out of plastic, where the rear cover could be removed to gain access to the battery, microSD, and SIM card slots. Along with this, the unit also features the same ports and buttons that most Galaxy units have, and of course, the home button framed with metallic border, the capacitive recent apps, and the back buttons.
Even with a 5-inch 540×960 TFT display, the unit still delivers a good, normal viewing distance. Likewise, it offers a handy overall design measuring up to 5.70 by 2.84 by 0.34 inches, and weighing 5.5 ounces given that it is made of plastic. Truly, this unit is fit for casual everyday use.
Camera
Given Samsung’s reputation when it comes to camera specs, one can expect that Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime offers a natural, auto focus 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera. Like the royal units offered by the brand, this handset comes with a camera experience that satisfies its aimed users. Of course, it also offers a high definition video recording quality largely at 1080p.
Connectivity and Network Performance
Connectivity isn’t much of an issue here, because Samsung does not want to disappoint. With MetroPCS as its carrier, the unit offers a blazing fast 4G LTE connection, even speeding up to 42Mbps at maximum. In addition to this, the phone also comes with impressive connectivity features such as Bluetooth 4.1, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, a GPS with GLONASS, and of course, NFC – making tap-and-go payments possible for users.
Power and Battery
Designed with a quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 (64-bit) and 1GB RAM while sporting a 2600mAh battery, the handset can be capable for daily usage. Also, it runs with an Adreno 360 GPU, which is considerable for basic games.
Software and Memory
True to the fact that this phone’s favorably for casual users, it comes with an 8GB internal storage and a microSD slot that’s good for up to 64GB. And what better way to enjoy this handy phone than through Samsung’s signature TouchWiz UI experience, which is undeniably impressive for an affordable smartphone like it is.
Additionally, it is running on an Android 5.1.1 Lollipop version, which adds to the excitement of the handset’s user experience.
What’s New withSamsung Galaxy Grand Prime
The Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime flaunts a 5MP wide-angle front camera, specially designed to capture “groupfies,” and a good 8MP rear camera with LED flash that works best for photo enthusiasts out there.
What may be the aim of the company for this above-the-price unit? Well, our theory is that, Samsung wanted to focus on group selfies that most people would love to capture conveniently – and of course, shoot videos of the moments people would want to cherish along with their loved ones through its 1080 video recording without spending too much.

Budget versions of higher priced phones are proving incredibly popular with many phone fans willing to sacrifice a little less performance for a significantly lower price. With this in mind, Samsung has released the budget minded Galaxy J3 Prime, and while you have to accept it’s not going to be top of the range, it’s certainly a lot of phone for the money. This Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime was launched just last month, April 2017, and comes with a 5.00-inch HD touchscreen display with a resolution of 720 pixels by 1280 pixels.
An ideal economy choice, the phone measures 139.70 x 69.85 x 8.89 (height x width x thickness) and weighs 148.00 grams. The Galaxy J3 Prime is powered by a 1.4GHz quad-core Exynos 7570 processor and it comes with 1.5GB of RAM. It also has a removable battery, which can be extremely useful in the event the phone stalls or the battery needs replacing. It runs the latest version of Android, Android 7.0 (Nougat), and has 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 128GB via a microSD card. As for cameras, the Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime has a 5-megapixel primary camera on the rear and a 2-megapixel selfie shooter on the front. The streamlined layout of Easy Mode enables you to find everything quickly and, as the name suggests, easily.
The Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime is a single SIM (GSM). Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, 3G and 4G. Sensors on the phone include Proximity sensor, Accelerometer and an Ambient light sensor.
Samsung describes the phone as doing everything you love and yet it still fits your pocket. That’s because it’s slightly smaller than the 5.5-inch screen phones, and, of course, is set a budget price.
