I switched from the iphone 5 to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - I will NOT be going back to the iphone. I love the larger screen, the swipe typing is much better than point n click! The screen is larger and the apps are just as plentiful as itunes. The other thing Iove about it is that it makes my work productivity much better - we use Gmail as our company's email system and it is a match made in gigabyte heaven!
Very fast phone overall. Sometimes the phone had a delay when I log on with password and at other times phone will freeze when I attempt to change screens.
I was a die hard Apple user until I saw this phone. I'm older so the large screen helps and the pictures are perfect. With this phone I seldom pull out the laptop.
As with any new mobile android/smart device, it took me a couple weeks to really learn all functions, but after initial self tutoring and installation of chosen apps, this mobile device is really great. I tell people all the time. I feel no need to update to a newer model, as I find absolutely no reason to do so. Samsung tech/support people are outstanding! The few interactions I have had with them, the reps are very nice, patient and will work with you until any issue is resolved and they want you to be happy. I couldn't say enough good things about the reps, one of the top three best supports I've ever encountered, and that's the truth!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, does at least 90% of what a standard p.c. can!
I have had this phone for about 3 months now and I love it!!!!. I had the note 2 prior to this and I loved that as well. I like the sleekness and weight of the note 3 and the features and display are amazing. I have recommended this phone to all of my friends that are looking for something new. Samsung has made an amazing product!
My Mobile Command Center is the hub for my life -- I run my business from it, edit my documents on it, review and make changes to videos and TV commercials I produce on it, navigate my car and my life with it, stay in touch with clients, friends, family -- everyone I need to talk with -- on it and keep up with everything going on in the world on it. It is, in a word, essential.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight, easy to read
The note 3 has great features a good design and is an overall good phone. If I was writing this review when I first got the phone I would've said it was great but in the last month or so it's been slowing down and freezing occasionally. It's still a good phone with good features and a good design I just wish it would've the operating speed would've remained consistent.
After having multiple samsung cell phones over the years, I have stepped away a couple of times but I have always returned. My first cell phone was the N200, then the MM-A700, and many in between that. Then came the Samsung S Epic. After the Epic I have never left and would not even think about leaving. Since the Epic I have owned the Galaxy S 2, Galaxy S 3, Note 2, Galaxy S 4, Note 3, and now waiting on the Note 4. I keeps getting better with time. Your whole life is at your finger tips with this product. Samsung makes a great product that is second to none. They make things easy and painless and I would tell anyone searching for a phone to get any Samsung product because you will not be disappointed.
