The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 successfully continues the one Samsung series of phones that no other manufaturer to date has really managed to touch. Stylus phones aren't for everyone, but I have to applaud the lengths to which Samsung has gone to in order to try and make the thing feel useful. However, the ridiculous number of features mean this is not a phone for smartphone beginners. A+ Amazing phone!
The Note 3 stands out as the best device of the year in my book. Best display (AMOLED), specs, capabilities and design, but there are a few little things that could be better. The only weaknesses I've discovered over the course of owning this device have been software related. Every time the device has received an OTA update, something seems to break and requires a full factory reset in order to fix. These software issues range from a Samsung app or services failing, Bluetooth services not working right, device having trouble syncing correctly with my Gear 2 Neo causing notifications to not sync or the Gear 2 Neo's battery to drain quickly randomly. Another minor gripe I have is the lack of support for all third-party apps in mulit-window view. Not supporting the Google+ app in multi-window view is a huge disappointment.
Everything else about the Note 3 is outstanding. Samsung has done a great job overall and I expect to buy the Note 4 when it is released. I only hope Samsung has made an effort to optimize their software, instead of just adding more blobs to its existing gigantic glob of existing software and features. Samsung has a great foundation for the Note series, now it's time to fine tune the foundation and focus on fixing the existing software problems and make it better.
Pros: best display, best specs
Cons: no front facing speakers, occasional samsung software problems
I love everything about my note 3 can't wait to save money for the note 4 Samsung gets better and better.love being apart of the Samsung family...boo.. To the iPhone our Samsung is better...love the big screen...love than you can do so many things at one time ...the picture quality is the best...there is nothing better than a Samsung I reccomend you get the Samsung note 3 or even for..get with the program..
Still learning new features of the Galaxy Note 3. The reps are very helpful with any questions I have had and so many endless possibilities with this phone. Loving the microphone to write what I say. So awesome!
I really like this phone. It is one of the first that I have purchased that has come close to a computer. I hardly ever have to pull out my laptop because unlike many other phones this phone is pretty much compatible with most sites that I frequent.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, has multiple charger compatability
Please consider offering black backgrounds within the built-in apps (like the phone dialer, contacts, email). This is a basic accessibility feature; black text on white is very hard on eyes.
The Qi charging should have been included rather than having to buy a thicker backplate.
Otherwise, the phone is fantastic.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, great battery, fast
Cons: no option for black backgrounds, qi/wireless charging extra, touchwiz
