By far the best smartphone I have owned to date! Phone seems a bit large at first, but once you use it for a while and use another device with a smaller display. You'll begin to appreciate the extra real estate of the Note 3, phone charges uber fast when plugged in to a wall outlet with provided charging cable and adapter. Multi-Window feature is awesome ! Being able to watch a YouTube video, while still being able to browse the Web definitely a great phone for multitasking. All and all I'm more than satisfied for my note 3 and looking forward jumping on the Note Edge , when it arrives at my carrier.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, great for multitasking and taking notes
Great Features, Improved Interface and Same Footprint

While the Galaxy Note 3 would be the only phone that I would use personally out of the line up of smartphones because of it's screen size and easy to transport design it has drawbacks just like every device. On first impression of the phone I immediately noticed and appreciated the stylus being updated so that it slides in without looking unlike the Note 2 which had a curved body and the stylus was form fitting to the body forcing you to insert your stylus with the orientation matching the body. Another great update from the Note 2 is that the Note 3 has the speaker mounted on the bottom rather than the back increasing the users ability to clearly hear the caller while the phone is sitting on it's back and be able to multitask with applications while in call such as calculating numbers or reading from a document, email or text message to the person you are speaking to. This has allowed me to take items from a tab of paper and read them off to suppliers while doing real time calculations to quote customers before I leave a jobsite. There are very few drawbacks and I would consider myself to expect everything to be flawless with every device. I have found that the phone has ultimate capability in exceeding my expectations except for the ability to be used as a replacement to an MP3 player while performing every other task that could ever be asked. I typically use a digital media player for at least 8 hours a day and while I have been able to replace my camera, while I am not happy about the resolution options doing away with the VGA quality of 640x480 which uses much less space in emails and can be used to send images to low resolution phones for instant verification of jobs the camera works better than most digital cameras I have seen. I have replaced my computer for more than 90% of the tasks that I would normally do saving energy. I have also replaced my GPS with my device. I have integrated several devices into one easy to carry portable device and have not found a more capable device. I have always told my friends and family about the endless capabilities that the entire Samsung Galaxy Line can offer to integrate and free up space in your office, home or school bag. I recommend the purchase of Samsung to anyone considering another brand.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: poor mp3 playback during extended use, camera resolution is limited to a 24 mp low
I've owned the s2,s3,s4,note,note2 and now note 3 love all of them with all the software features Samsung gives you it's more like having a pc in your hand can't wait for the note 4 (:
I Love my Galaxy Note 3 I switched about 6 months ago from the iPhone and I must say it is definitely in every way better I love how big it is which makes it very easy to do whatever I want, with a big picture. The note 3 also has many different settings for however you like your phone set up from backgrounds to ringtones you can surely make your personality shine through this phone I wouldn't trade my phone for another unless the 4 comes out I highly recommend to everyone who wants a great phone!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to operate, slim and unique, perfect
