I have had to switch this phone 5 times and I haven't had it for a year yet. Always a problem with the battery! I have wasted over $1000 on this phone between the buying the phone, the insurance charge, and the new battery. I find the ridiculous. If it wasn't for the constant battery headache it would be a outstanding device.
This phone is All-class". When you on it the colors put the screen on fire. bight, crisp, rich . Love everything about this phone except one.. Its back cover. It is filmy. Hold it with just a couple of fingers on two ends then turn twist it bends that easily. Do it a little harder and I get a feeling that it breaks. The leather is not real. It is a big phone but it still wouldn't take as much genuine leather as a wallet, Then why ;didn't Samsung" use genuine instead of PU leather.
After having my Note 3 for about 6 months now I really love it. It's so useful for so many things. No longer have to look for pen and paper to jot things down. I'm synced to everything at all times and having the Galaxy Store is cool because I have options other than the Play Store. The only problem that I have is that the Samsung USB 3.0 cable doesn't charge my device anymore, which I don't get because I take such good care of that cable.
I can't say enough good things about this phone. I love the big screen. The only downside is the apps that come preinstalled that I don't use that can't be deleted. I use the phone instead of a computer on a daily basis.
