The Best Samsung Phone Ever

I just purchased the Note 3 yesterday and I love it! I had an original Note and swapped that for an iPhone 5; now back to the Note 3 and very happy. The screen is amazing, and it is at least twice as fast as the iPhone 5. The setup was very easy and overall stability with Android 4.3 is much better than previous versions. Sound quality is very good, internet performance is outstanding; the LTE link seems much faster than other phones I've used. It's also quite easy to use one handed even though my hands are not very large. Overall the best smartphone I've ever owned by far!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, fast, iproved s-pen
I would recommend this to a friend!

Loving my Device

Where do I begin.... I truly do love Samsung Products... Not just because of the product, but also because of the great customer service! I am coming from the GN2 and thought I wouldn't upgrade until the GN4, but glad I decided to upgrade. I am loving the updated pen, the transparent status bar on the lock screen.
I love the ability to remove the date and time on the lock screen as well. I love that I can move apps back to SD card! I appreciate how lightweight the device is compared to the GN2. I like the slimmer design and the location of the speaker. Battery life is still awesome and I am happy with the 32gb internal memory. Being able to answer my phone and take pictures with my voice is super awesome!
I prefer to choose my own app for news and not be forced to use the one on the device... I was able to disable it on the GN2, but not on the GN3. I appreciated being able to disable apps I wasn't using on the GN2 and hope this can be fixed with the 4.4 update or updated on the GN4.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, battery life, voice controls, transparent bar on lockscreen, updated pen, memory card, internal storage, apps to sd card, simplistic design, location of speaker
Cons: too many preloaded apps, cluttered notification bar

I had the Note 2, but this Note 3 makes me even happier. I love the lightweight feel and the screen is so crisp and bright. The features are in an abundance, and I live having choices. Some may think there's too many but I like customizing my devise according to how I feel. Great device and worth the money. I only wish that the flip to mute would work with more 3rd party pas, like Pandora, or Google media. But I guess we can't have everything..... At least this year.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight

Outstanding Phone..Samsung nailed it again.

I have been a Galaxy user and I must say Samsung just keeps on improving. The screen is so vibrant, the design is a WOW, thinner and lighter than the previous Note 2 also more classy and elegant with the back leather cover. The S pen has been improved and still I am in the process of learning its functionalities and features. Overall this is a wonderful phone with great features.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: pricy

Excellent phone. Super Fast!

This phone zooms. Multi-windows is cool but limited. It's super lightweight so a case is important to give it a little grip to it. Love the fake leather texture on the back but will be covering it up with a protective case. The silver trim is cool but again will be covered up. Doesn't allow some of my old apps but that's normal and more apps will become updated and available soon. It feels right in my hand but difficulty to do 2 hand typing in portrait mode. I still have to use landscape mode which takes some getting used to the size. Love the stylus pen part. Comes with extra tips and a remover tool. Not sure how durable it will be because it's so light. I would get a case asap upon purchase. It's still a little slippery even with the textured back. Phone comes on with home button or side button by default. Can't be tedious when the phone comes on in your pocket because your butt pushes the home button. LOL Trying to read how to turn home button off as a way to turn on the phone. Lock screen helps some by blocking butt touching the icons and stuff but it can waste battery power turning the screen on all the time. The built-in Speech app is cool. It isn't as advanced as Siri but it does some of the same functions.
Just love the size and feel of it. Good for reading books and files. Easy to use Office products. Good size for all that. About same size as the Note I but bordered removed on the screen make it seem bigger.
On board battery fully charged has lasted me a couple days without recharging.
Camera is awesome. Has auto focus and photos come out really well at 13 mp. There are more options within the camera app as well. Has video, flash, auto brightness and color correction settings.
Wish it would come in colors other than black or white but I guess it doesn't matter when there are a ton of colors in cases available.
Doesn't allow scrolling of wallpaper like the Samsung Captivate does. My app that used to allow scrolling on my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket doesn't work on the Note 3 (Wizardrii was the app). I haven't ran across customization of the app page where on the Skyrocket phone you can change how the pages turn but Note 3 doesn't do that. Still lots of other options that make those moot points.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
