Not one time has this phone locked on me or failed me.I have not had to take battery out and reboot. It is fast,I don't do heavy gaming, but I do a lot of web surfing and vids, and so far it has been very smooth, no hiccups. I like to take lots of pictures and make lots of videos and it is great if that what you like to do.the display is very rich,I watch a lot of Netflix and hulu plus.the pictures are fantastic.And the sound is great. It was a great idea to put the speaker on the bottom instead of on the back of the phone.nice big screen that fits comfortably in my hand and I have small hands. Storage is plentiful.32gb.on board and up to 64gb with with sd card. Jelly bean runs effortly, smooth as silk on this phone. Call quality is great also, have not had a drop call due to problem with phone. Had some problems in rural areas to far between towers but this is to be expected. So far I've only had one problem and that might be my wifi at my house. It keeps losing signal, but when im somewhere else outside of my house it works fine. Blutootj works great and phone is fast charging. And last but not least, I'm having a ball with the s pen.this is a great phone for any body that loves tech and also for someone that likes to keep it simple. In short I love this phone.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, people stare when i take it out
The phone is great but if you use it for any type of athletic activity like golf it's cumbersome and doesn't have the best signal, features are great but signal dependability makes this device just ok.
The Note 3 is extremely quick and loaded with features. You would expect to have poor battery life with the size and amount of features but the battery lasts a solid day. The build quality is top notch however I would like to see less plastic in the next model and maybe more aluminum. The Note is a perfect size for me I'm a 6'3 male and is comfortable to type and surf the web. I throughly enjoy this phone.
OK Pros and cons Pros- big screen, spen functionality is responsive and convenient, call quality is great, games play smoothly, videos look awesome on YouTube, IMDB etc, camera is pretty good, lightweight, screen has good contrast, and music quality is great. Multi window is very handy for doing two apps At once like Twitter and Facebook or YouTube and Chrome. Cons- (not really a con, just make sure u have the screen on auto and not full brightness most of the time like I did or the battery will drain fast lol. On that note screen brightness and visibility suffer a little in direct sunlight, even on full brightness setting. Sometimes the phone slows down, but I found a memory cleaner app that worked for me called 360 Clean DROID. Keyboard is sometimes not responsive.
