I would say I "upgraded" from the iphone with my new Galaxy Note 3. Many more features and a much better camera. I didn't know how I would handle the larger size, but I look at iphones now and wonder how I ever used the tiny thing. I love my phone!
Finally a phone I can enjoy. Size prefect, control of video, clarity outstanding, volume no problem for me. I love the feel of this phone in my hands. You go Samsung
Ive owned this phone since the day it was released, so I have had a while to play, use, and become familiar with it. The device is great! Its fast, responsive, intellegent, has a beautiful display, great features, and has been a good conversation piece. So far its been the best phone I have ever owned and I havent even thought about switching to anything else yet.
However there is one feature that I feel was restricted by disabling one silly option. On other Samsung devices that support S Voice; such as the S4 or the Note2, you can change the command that activates the app "Hi Galaxy" to something else. Well not on the Note3... For some reason that abilitiy was removed, and so hampers the usefulness of that app. I only ever use S Voice now in private and I will press the mic button instead of just saying "Hi Galaxy" because I feel silly. If I could change it I would gladly use it in public because it could be funny, witty, cute, or any other number of things. But "Hi Galaxy"-only makes it feel like a weak attempt to get people to walk around and advertise the device for Samsung. It would be much more attractive to give my device its own name, or title then I wouldnt be ashamed to talk to my phone outloud or in public for that matter. Disabling that feature was a silly move on Samsungs part. I really hope that someone sees this message and moves to have the feature readded/reactivated on the Note3 devices.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is much peppier than my Note 2 was. Before that I was an *fruit 4 user which to my experience left me wanting. The screen was tiny. Surfing the Internet very hard on the eyes. Samsung ' s Note 2 was such an improvement. There was no eye strain at all. I didn't have to pinch on the screen to magnify the text. So as happy as I was, when the Note 3 came out I secured mine right away. It is so much a part of my everyday life. Now I'm sure people say that about their phones everyday however once you've had an S Pen you can't fathom not having that capacity at your finger tips. I use my S Pen jotting notes..financial calculations but my favorite practice is regarding screen shots and photos. I am always taking notes..text and additional graphics to photos or screen shots and texting them to my friends and family. My Galaxy Note 3 is powerful, responsive, fast and works great with my carrier and Android. I can't wait for the Note 4 to come out.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, the internal speakers have great clear volume., samsung has the brightest clearest display
I recently received my Samsung Note 3 coming from and iPhone 4. The features on the Samsung Note are very impressive, easy to use and relevant to everyday applications. I could not be pleased anymore coming from a high-end phone getting into a phone with even more features, dependability, style and productivity ! Samsung quickly is becoming my brand for many of my electrical equipment needs. (Eg.) TV , Laptop computer and now my phone! Some people may find issue with its size but they have taken that into consideration and have settings for one hand operation! Give Samsung a try you won't regret it !
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, numerous features
Many of the benefits offered in trading to the SN 3 do not work, such as the software to easily transfer items from my old phone to this phone. I have to re-enter all my contacts, any apps, and etc. Not a huge issue but inconvenient. The large issue is that I have the phone for less than two months and the charging cable that comes with the phone stops working. It acts like it's loose and can not connect fully though the phone and cable have not been damaged by dropping, pulling or anything. Just stopped working properly. Well I am stuck with the phone and hoping nothing else just stops or is self-breaking so I order the charging pad in hopes to be able to charge the phone and still use it. Samsung sends the battery back that is required purchase to use the pad but back orders the pad. Now this is over a month ago, still no pad or new information if it will ever come in. The phone is fidgety enough if you use the hands-off features - works sometimes others not. Overall not fun to have, pretty yes but becoming a pain otherwise.
This product can do much more than you can imagine. It has multiple features to fit all users and the ability to be customized to an individual's needs. It is an amazing product with the fastest cpu for quick app processing and an amazing screen for viewing media. Samsung has truly raised the bar with its new smartphone which has become a true favorite in the industry.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, user customizable, slot for memory expansion
