I have had this phone for 9 months. It has been a very good and sturdy phone until recently. Sometimes my phone will not allow me to answer calls or make calls when needed.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: does not let me answer or make calls as needed
My note 3 is over 2 years old and still runs fabulous. Although it will not get android Marshmallow, if you like lollipop then it's no problem. Overall this phone is great, it has good battery life, removable battery, expandable storage vis micro SD, s pen features, and more. This phone is still to this very day an efficient multitasker.
I certainly love my samsung note 3. I had been upgrading from the galaxy s models to the note models and love there features and the android system. I switch once 5 yrs ago to the iPhone but took it back within 3 weeks I didn't like it at all.
