I have had the Note 3 for 2 years. With regular power downs and back ups I have had no problems with it. The 2 year old battery is still good for all day usage and I use it as an ereader and store about 600 books on it. I use the pen more than could be believed for a person who just wanted a good tablet that fit in a pocket. Calls have always been clear and never dropped. And with the Otterbox case on it has been used as a fly swatter too many times and still no problems.
I have been using this phone for about a month the phone is easy to use and has a beautiful screencolor I am very pleased with phone and recommend this phone to anyone
I love the Galaxy note. I have had the note three for several years before it died. I now have a note 5 and I'm looking forward to having it for several years as well. Best phone EVER!
