Pros: Bright display

love the note series. started on note2 but then upgraded to this beast of a phone with bigger screen than note2 but smaller profile than note2. my biggest gripe is reception seems lacking sometimes but the rest of the phone is perfect or almost and some of it can be tweaked to my liking now and as the devs figure out the innards. oh did i mention battery life? insane.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, unparalled contrast, 192/24 native playback, great sound quality, best sound in phone calls, stuff i haven't even found but will be used.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Never looking back
on October 22, 2013

I'm a smart phone user from way back, the Treo 600 was my first smart phone. I've been on the Android platform since the first Evo, then went to the Vivid and, never thought I would say this, switched to a Samsung product and never looking back.
The Note 3 is the fastest phone I've used flying from app to app with no delay and I'm not a kind user in this. I like to switch from one to another constantly. I've done just a little multitasking and, so far, the phone handles it without a blip. I just did a Google Maps search in one window while playing a YouTube video and the search flew while the video played without a hickup.
The phone's massive list of features can be a bit overwhelming, I left the popup hints running for the first week to help me remember what the action items were and could do. The phone is well organized. One of my favorite features (admittedly this is probably an Android 4.3 feature) is the ability to search the settings menu. How often in the past have I laboriously clicked setting after setting to try and remember how to change something?
The S-pen is the way to go. I've actually moved Swype from my primary keyboard to secondary so that I can use the S-pen to enter all my data. Admittedly it struggles a bit working in a window in Dolphin browser but in Gmail I can simply write an email, and my handwriting is awful.
Any number of people complain about the size of the phone. I do occasionally shiver as I one-hand the phone and feel it unbalanced in my very average size hands. Still, I find I can pretty much one hand whatever I want but this is where S-voice and Google Now are your friends. Use the voice to control your phone. Buy a bluetooth earpiece (you should have one for driving anyway) and use it to control your phone.
My complaints are minor. No phone is perfect. S-voice cannot dial numbers without touching the screen to accept the number. I find K-lets to be a better choice for driving but wish I could have my cake and eat it too, there is no way to have both programs answering bluetooth hands free. I have no use for the Magazine app that appears with the swipe from bottom motion and there is no way to reassign the motion to Google Now or another more useful function. I continue to look for a dependable way to backup the S-notes and such. It shouldn't be this challenging.
The Samsung Note III is the best phone on the market and it will be a while before anyone including Samsung tops this.
Pros: Bright display, anything you can do it can do better.
Cons: too much plastic
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Phone with 1 Catch...

#1 - I LOVE this phone, it is the best, fastest and most capable phone I have ever owned (switched from an iPhone). I am thoroughly impressed with the processing power, expandable memory and crystal clear HD screen. The S-pen is absolutely awesome, and the handwriting recognition is excellent (and I have terrible penmanship).
The only reason this phone received a 4 star rating is for the massive amount of bloatware that came with Samsung and AT&T. I was super excited to utilize the 3GB of RAM with MY OWN apps, however, every time I open the task manager it shows 1.8GB being used, when NOTHING is running. When I force close all active apps to clear the RAM 35-45 apps are closed... A little disappointed with this, but it has not been a problem yet.
