I got this phone a few days ago, shortly after launch. I had an iPhone 4s prior and an iPhone 3GS before that. This is such an incredible device with some amazing features. The size is not for everyone, but I absolutely love the big screen, coming from a 3.5" screen. The phone is very thin and very light. Fits in all my pockets. If you want a good large screen, nothing compares!
I don't even know where to begin. Everything about this phone is impressive. Watching movies to taking notes in a meeting. Sketchbook Pro comes with it, and it is simply amazing. I'm giving my Note 10.1 to my wife because I the Note 3 does everything better! Price isn't bad with a new contract.
This phone was so perfectly revised it is so much lighter than the note 2 and now has the same gesture air control similar to the S4, having the speakers at the bottom of the phone rather than the back does improve sound quality and like the note 2 android games look great and perform exceptionally with no lag, The camera also twice as good and pictures look amazing on the huge full 1080p display, all of Samsungs preloaded apps have at least some use to any user and some I use everyday. I am very happy with buying this phone and I would and I would recommend it to anyone.
I got my phone yesterday and so far I am very impressed. Build quality is superior and the functions are logically placed. There is a lot to learn for me as I am a new Android user. I have also ordered the jet black Galaxy Gear but must wait till 10/15 to collect. Must buy toy for the techies this Christmas
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
I'm very impressed and satisfied with my purchase. I charged it completely on the first day and with light to moderate use the battery lasted well over 24 hours! The display is beautiful and the capabilities/features offered by this amazing piece of techonology boggle the mind. It really offers something for everyone. Note 3 is the best device The size is perfect along with the amazing quality. Samsung outdid themselves on this one. A true multi-tasking machine with unique features! I cant put this thing down! Its an office in the palm of your hand. It wakes you up brings the weather and daily news at a glance. Networks calls clients all at your finger tips. Easily fits in a pocket Get this phone if you're even remotely interested in it. You won't regret it!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, battery life tons o' features
This is my second Galaxy note, I had the original and have been hooked ever since. I have to support iPhones all day and detest the tiny little screens they have. When someone finally gets a Galaxy series it's much easier for me as Samsung has an agreement with Bomgar and I can remotely support and configure devices for our employees. I use the large screen all the time when I’m remoting into our servers or employee computers to give help when I’m on the road. My sons also love the screen so they can watch their videos when we're in the car or lying in bed trying to get them to sleep. I just can’t say enough good things about this phone and LOVE the upgrade in speed since the original. It’s also fun to control the TV with the WatchOn app. I was jealous of that app on my wife’s Note 10.1. I can’t stop recommending the Note 3 and GS4 to people; I should get commission from Samsung as often as I recommend them. My only complaint is the speaker volume on the speakerphone and quality when playing music. Using the headphone jack it's great, but maybe an upgrade on the speaker next time. I love the quality of their products. I'm actually about to buy another Samsung plasma tv. (The 50" seems too small now, horrible problem I know.) I'm also glad they used plastic casing as it makes the weight lower, it's going into a protective case anway.
The phone meets all my expectations, i have been using it for 7 days now, and i have no complaints whatsoever. Perfect size! I have been reading books with safe distance from the screen. I still make phone calls with one hand while i don't have to because of the S VOICE. It takes perfect pics...Oh! The AIR COMMAND crafty work. S pen is very responsive when apply it. Multitasking has never been so importantly useful and easy to do activities between some apps now. Overall, this phone is amazing, a piece of art.
