This phone is by far the best phone I have ever owned or used. I have owned several Samsung smartphones in the past and there was always a feature or two that I wished they would have. The Galaxy Note 3 has all the features I want and then some. The screen is big and bright with vibrant colors and sharp text. The processor is exceptionally fast and handles everything you throw at it with ease. The camera takes very good pictures and there are a ton of features within the camera too. Plus, it can record 4K video. The overall design is very attractive and looks executive, regardless of the fact that it's plastic. If you didn't know, you'd be hard pressed to think of it as plastic, even when you're holding it. The one single complaint I have is with the speaker and its placement. It distorts at high volume and when you watch videos in landscape mode, the sound is clearly coming from the right side of the phone. Having said that, I absolutely love this phone and would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. This device has only confirmed my status as a Samsung fan and product owner for life.
I recently upgraded from the gs3 to the note 3 and the difference is incredible. The note 3 is an amazing phone and with all the little Samsung extra apps it just puts the icing on the cake. The note is going to be my phone of choice as long as its around. No complaints here, way to go Samsung
This product is awesome with all great features, All issues faced by me in previous samsung products has been rectified. Though bit large size, Its awesome
This is an amazingly powerful device, and a pleasure to interact with. There are too many features to list out, and I would very much suggest this device for professionals and people seeking a cross over item.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, powerful computing, allows for customization
I just upgraded to the Note 3 from the SG3. I admit I was on the fence and almost uped to the GS4. But wow. I am glad I went with the Note 3. This phone has so many features I expect to spend at least the next month or so just figuring everything out. So far, the battery life is simply incredible. When I purchased the phone it was fully charged. I've been playing with it ever since I got it syncing, allshare stuff, pictures, tons and tons of calls, texts, videos and this thing is only at 48%. I've had it for a couple of days. Also purchased a tablet the Note 8.0 they compliment each other perfectly. that will be a different review. I have been a Samsung customer for about 6 yrs now but it's mainly been home entertainment. I am now a Samsung addict! I highly recommend this phone. If you're on the fence between this and the SG4, get the Note 3. For all you'll get, its a deal when you compare the prices. I'll do another review once I've gotten to know it better. Not bad Samsung
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, easy to use if you're used to samsung mobile, streamlined and not as big as note2
I've been a fan of Samsung for years, had the gs2, 3, galaxy 7 from tmobile, note 10.1 and have never been disappointed. this phone is a powerhouse, it's great at multitasking and the screen is big enough to multitask efficiently. the display is nothing less than I expected for the money I spent and the s-pen works very well, I wasn't sure what to expect as compared to my note 10.1.
the only drawback is this thing is HUGE. Samsung did a great job of keeping the bezel slim to maximize the screen size without making it too bulky, but I have to wear cargo pants to fit it in a pocket.
one feature I really like is the one handed operation. it will let you move the keyboard to one side or the other so you can easily type (or swipe) with your thumb, it's about a 2/3 size keyboard, otherwise there is no way I could text with one hand.
overall i'm very impressed with the latest iteration from Samsung and will not hesitate to recommend it to others.
I switched from a S-2 to the Note 3 last week and this phone is impossible to talk on. I have never owned a phone that drops calls so much. I drive the same road to work everyday and never dropped a call with my old phone but now my calls are dropped 3--4 in the 16 mile trip.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, horrible reception
