I upgraded from the Note 2 to the Note 3. It's still an incredible phone, I'm impressed with the 'Galaxy' legacy. I've used my phone for pretty much everything imaginable, it's practically a Swiss Army Knife... YouTube, Chrome cast, email (gmail & exchange server), Books, eBay, road companion (GPS), endless NFC applications, Stud Finder, Wifi Hotspot, narrator, voice memo, 3D goggles, my brave (very brave) alarm clock, movies movies movies, eBooks, streaming HDMI to TV's, high speed photography, CAD (Autocad & Pro-engineer), compatibility with my USB 3 Droid Flash-drive for crazy fast file transfers, yeah a couple games too!
The sensitivity of the touch-screen is... perfect. It does exactly what I want. The colors are vibrant, I love all the little features and software gadgets. Some of my favorite features are :- sending a call to voicemail by simply placing the phone face-down, extremely fast screen switching/panning, LOVE LOVE LOVE THE giant screen! You just can't beat it.
The Note 3 is one of the great phones I had the privilege to own. The best function was the multi-window display. Although the camera needed to be better, I was able to work on documents and email them quickly. Recently, I upgraded to the Samsung S7 and gave my son (2 year old) the Note 3 to keep him occupied while I clean the house and he loves Kids Mode. He works the phone like a pro already!
i have been a samsung user and switched to iphone and now i will be switching back to samsung. due to the fact that the grass was not greener on the other side. as much as iphone wants to brag about how great their phones i disagree and say they are a big P.O.S. i love how android/samsung doesnt make you go out and buy special chargers and use special software for your phone. if i had to rate the phones side by side 1 out of 10 starts i would rate iphone about 5 and samsung 9.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Lightweight, easy to use
I have yet to tap into the almost limitless abilities of this amazing machine! I am still finding things out about it! IF I upgrade, it'll be to the IV or V, I love my Note III!
Size needs may vary with different people but this one is perfect for me. It is comfortable to hold and use and the screen size is and fonts are great. I would recommend it for almost anyone. I use a protective case and only carry in my front pocket and so for no damage even though dropped a few times on hard floor.
