I use the S Note, S Translator and voice recorder a lot for school. There are many Apps that are compatible with my laptop and with Google ( Docs, slides ect...). Also, it has an amazing camera. I submitted a portfolio to an employer and they couldn't believe that these pics were taken by a phone.
I have had my note 3 for about 4 months and i haven't had any problems out of it. I love everything about it. It is easy to use and has a lot of great features
