Probably the one of the best phones I've ever owned not "THE BEST PHONE" because I'm just not a big fan of the touchwiz launcher and no knock knock feature to wake the phone and the camera is a little slow but great quality.
Overall i am pleased with the quality of samsung products and its easy access towards storage and modifications. the only problem with the phone is that its performance becomes slow overtime.
I loved the Note3. Sure...it was larger than most phones, but the size helped with viewing things and the larger battery gave me extended performance without having to reach for a charing cord. It kept up with my daily needs and exceeded my wishes. The expandable memory was key. I added a 64gig micro sd card and kept my movies files and music on their. With 32 gigs of on-board memory...this left my note 4 in stellar shape.
I truly would advise my friends and family looking for a new phone to consider the note 3 or the note 4 even...which after a year or using the note 3 i have graduated to the note 4.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, versitility, ease of use
