I had to return my first note 3 because after 15 months the charging port was so sloppy and loose that the battery could not be recharged unless the phone and cord were lined up so carefully that you couldn't breathe while doing so. Just laying it down carefully on a flat surface was enough to dislodge the connection.
The phone is under warranty so I was told at the local T-Mobile store that I would be sent a new phone. Instead I was sent what was obviously not new, but refurbished. And It wasn't even an entire phone--it was minus the back.
So okay. I think I know why the replacement phone had been refurbished. Whenever it feels like it, maybe once or twice a day, it will turn itself off and recycle. Looks like the elves in the repair shop didn't get to that bug before sending it back out.
AND--the charging port is beginning to get a little loose, after one month. If if becomes much more of a problem I'll return it again. After all, after a year and a half I'm still making payments.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, size, will take a memory card which the new notes won't, removeable battery a feature the new notes lack.
Cons: charging port is terrible, maximum volume doesn't go up to 11.
My Samsung notebook 3 is really nice I like watching movies on I like to try this 455 just can't afford it but I love my samsung 3 anyways I like playing games and getting on the internet
Everything from the sleek, smooth design to the speed of charge and it's functions are great. I'm currently waiting for the Note 7 to come out. I passed the others because it's features weren't up to speed.
My friend got me one for Christmas a couple years ago. It ran pretty decently until one morning I accidentally left it on the ground and stepped on it.
