I love this device. Phone works great even using the speaker phone in a car while driving. The Galaxy Note is more like a tablet computer then a mobile phone with access to mobile business platform software/apps that you can really make use of since it really has a large screen. The large screen is really nice when watching videos. So many features. Sometimes I get a little frustrated with how many features the device has and I consider myself a tech savvy person. Overall it is the greatest Phone I have ever owned. I was initially astounded at how long the battery lasted (2 days on a single charge). The power usage of the phone is initially awesome but that changes quickly as you add apps and customize your wireless and video settings. The battery is still good but I find that I will on a long day need to charge it on the way home or risk running the battery down and the phone turning itself off. I have many apps running in the background Video brightness turned up and use the phone constantly thru a 12 hour day. Google Maps/GPS is an app I use often and it is very demanding the phone gets hot and the battery gets used up fast. I suggest you plug the device into a car charger if you are going to use it as a GPS. I can edit and create Documents and Spreadsheets. View PDFs. I can even access my corporate email. There is an additional cost to getting the app that lets me into my corporate email. Camera is so good I leave my others cameras at home. The only feature that you might consider criticizing the Samsung Galaxy Note III on is its size. This phone is pretty big. For me this is a plus since I have problems typing on smaller devices and it still fits in my pocket, But I am over 6ft tall.
I am a new android owner and could not be more pleased.

I switched from an iPhone to an android phone and love the switch. I needed something big enough to work on with my eyesight. I have had only minor problems with it freezing up. Probably too many apps going. The transition has been very easy. Everything is very user friendly with multiple way to accomplish tasks based on your preferences.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: Not high def
I would recommend this to a friend!

I use my galaxy for everything from work related features, tracking my diet and workouts and social media. The phone is easy to use and sync. The screen is perfect because I do not need to use my glasses all the time. The phone makes it easy to access and input into my calendar, receive work e-mails, take photos, and read and make texts. I use the phone to multi task during my workout. The phone can track my workout, keep my heart rate, play my Pandora and run the stop watch all at the same time.
The Samgsung Galaxy note 3 has been a complete game changer for me - I LOVE it! I was a devoted iPhone user from it's launch and became increasingly frustrated with it's functionality. I am so happy I switched to the Galaxy Note3. It's capabilities are endless and it is so much more of a creative tool and customizable than the iPhone will ever be. Love the pen tool!
I love the large screen on this phone. You never have to worry about straining your eyes to see anything on it. It's crystal clear and really just like a laptop.
Simply put I love this phone. Most of all I very much enjoy the S pen, it makes it as easy as using post it notes. The battery life on it is excellent, I only charge it once a day and it good for the whole day. Now this is the best smartphone I have ever owned.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 makes it easy to stay productive with features like multi-window.
The SGNIII is a WONDERFUL product, but I fear Samsung may have went a bit too far. The device itself is awesome.it is thin, light weight, fits the hand perfectly, has stupendous graphics. It is Crystal clear, easy to operate, has tons of possibilities! But I have noticed a distinct difference between the Note III and the Note II. The Note III has connection issues. In an area with a low signal, the Note III will drop calls where the Note II NEVER dropped one call. I love the SGNIII, but I must say that if the Note IV has the performance issues the Note III has, I won't be a return customer.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast fast fast
