Overall the phone is worth it. Has good features. Battery life really leaves something to be desired. I recently received a Samsung gear fit. Really like it too. Now my battery life on my phone is next to nothing. Wish someone would come up with the technology where Bluetooth would not kill battery life.
I really love my note 3, but recently the battery is not holding a charge, the phone freezes often, and it won't stay connected to any WiFi connection. These issues hit at the same time. For the price of the phone it is ridiculous to have these issues less than a year of owning the phone!
Once you use a Samsung Note you will never use another smartphone. More advanced hardware, software and features. Expandable memory and removable battery are just two more features which might make you forget about your laptop. The feature of the stylus might make you forget about your desktop!
I really LOVE my Note 3 and I'm contemplating the Note 4. I have had my phone for 2 years and still have not tapped into all the features of what this phone can do. I have an iPad that I don't even use now, no need to
I purchased this phone during the third (3rd) quarter of 2014 not realizing the Note 4 was shortly due for release - I do NOT regret making this move at all. This is the BEST phone/phablet on the market right now, and in terms of performance & features is actually a whole lot better than the Note 4 or any other phone out there right now. With this phone, I'm even able to use Galaxy Gear 2 which is very important to me. The processor and amount of RAM are amazing on the phone. Most importantly, the battery life is the best I have ever experienced. This phone will last me 2 days on battery power using it seldomly throughout the day - while using it heavy, it will last me between 1 day & 5 hours and 1 day & 10 hours at the very least. Hands down I'm very, very happy with this purchase!
