Quite large, but functionality made me switch.

I've had nothing but iPhones almost since they came out and the first time I picked up the Note 3 it just felt giant. Then I surfed the web a bit, learned tricks and tips and eventually felt the functionality beat the inconvenience of the size.
After a month, it has replaced our iPad as well. So I think of it more as a very portable device that I can make phone calls on than a phone.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, functional

Great Job Samsung... wish Knox wasnt included... or, release a Knox free version. Make alot of the bloatware uninstallable, by putting in the data/app folder.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight

Speechless! Awesome phone.
5.7" screen is a little on the large side for my taste, but other than that its a great "phablet". My Galaxy S III is ideal size for me. :)

I went from a iPhone 5 to Galaxy S4. While I loved the S4, I needed more space, I went to the wireless store to find another S4 with more memory because that's a great phone as well. I saw the Note 3 and passed it because I thought it was bigger than what I could handle. Well, after thinking for a few days, I decided to try the Note 3 and do without my tablet. Well, I can't return it. I love it. I'm a professional Interior Designer and study drafting and the sketchbook comes in handy. I have a massive collection of digital books and magazines, the note 3 works for it. All of my downloaded music from Google play subscription is there.... it can't get any better. I love it.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Too big

Solid products with a few flaws

Overall a solid phone that for the most part works well. All US-based phones are limited compared to the international versions but within these limits performance is in general excellent.
Only a few of annoying problems thus far. The battery life is not as good as its predecessor, the note 2. This seems especially true with certain types of usage. So I would say acceptable but definitely not great. I would recommend an external USB battery or a spare internal one to pop in for heavy usage. The dialer is terrible -- the white background is awful. They REALLY need to provide an option for reverse video in the dialer and make it black/dark like the Note 2. On the gesture stuff, the gestures do not match real life sometimes -- for instance music. When fast forwarding a left to right motion should fast forward not reverse. Samsung, we are not reading a book here and the fast forward button point rightward, not leftward. The other annoying issue thus far is the lack of options on the lock screen when using security there. When I turn it on, I should see time, weather, music, social networks, etc. displayed and then if I swipe the phone should then present another screen that asks for authentication if the configured security timer has expired.
The S Pen works mostly as advertised, and the phone is great with or without it. So mostly we have a good solid product with a few small UI issues that is as good as it can be in the USA.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, stylus is cool
Cons: battery underperforms, usa limitations

Bigger is Better !

I jumped from an excellent Galaxy S 3 on the Note 3 after my girlfriend purchased it. There are huge overall improvements in all areas of the phone over the Note 2 which i played with occasionally. Touch wiz is better for couple of notches and I'm yet to fall in love with the S pen features which I rarely use. Still some confusion with the layers of touch wiz and android but this is a Power User Phone and since you bought this phone You know your way around android! Performance is on par with a home desktop PC and it destroys everything you throw at it ! Gorgeous screen,light weight with a look of an art peace in your hand intuitive and packed with tons of useful features what more can I say ?!? Oh yeah the cherry for the top....Battery Life...Finally a modern handheld that last for 2 days !!! And I'm not even using the power saving features !!! You cant even imagine the feeling leaving your house without a charger or spare battery. Thanks Samsung !
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, performance
