I love my note 3 but I have one big issue with it. When I answer the phone putting it up to my ear it continuously cuts off the conversation. The only way I have found to prevent is is to hit speaker which at times is very inappropriate. Until this is fixed I would not buy another one.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display
Cons: Did not meet expectations, can not hold up to ear as it shuts off
I purchased the phone in September 2015, I have had it now for 5 months. I am very happy with the phone, I love the s-pen and it's features. It makes it easy to take notes during a call and not worry about losing the paper you wrote it on. I am especially happy with the camera and display. I am a mom and am constantly using the camera and video features. Pictures are clear and in sport mode I can even get a non - blurry picture of my crazy 4 year old. The display is amazing! I love YouTube and of course streaming services and am very satisfied with the picture quality. I would recommend any Samsung device!
I had reservations about switching to an android phone. Yes, I was an avid CrackBerry user before they were added to the Endangered Species List. I swore by the reliability and business usage. In my world of paper pushing, appointments, meetings, and coordinating large groups for events with reminders and the like I needed a phone that would be capable of such. Preferabley with better features or optimization of the platform I'd grown to rely on. Never a sheep and a staunch non-confomist, the popular choice at the time was a one button deal that was designed for easy use and appeared to be more of a hit for those big on the social media scene. Not for this tech geek. The Note3's sleek design, large screen and stylus were already convincing me. Then after navigating some, this phone blew the CrackBerry out of the water with the ease of use and factory apps met my prerequisites after toying around with it for 10 minutes. I kept this phone 3 years before I finally decided to upgrade. I held onto it for a backup since the reliability and function were working just fine still.
I love the Note 3. Bigger than the regular IPhone but not too big. I can hold it in one hand. I watch movies on it all the time. My 5 year old granddaughter prefers my Note 3 to her moms IPhone.
