USER INVASION TESTS ON SAMSUNG GALAXY J3-6 J320FN

 
Smart Switch is a useful back-up and restore tool for particular user-content on various (but not all) Samsung smartphones. To coin a phrase the program "does what it says on the tin". For general user back-up and restore of certain data it avoids the need for uploading to the cloud.

Before forensic examinations are undertaken we ran tests as a user and purchased 3 x J3.
 
 
The J3 handsets were UK versions:
 
 
We see the US versions are compatible for use with Samsung Knox for BYOD:
 
 
This is an early evaluation, so the post is just a heads-up so you can check within your organisation/s.
