When I bought my Note 3 and Galaxy Gear in 2013, I was impressed with the size/resolution and capabilities. Others who saw my phone said it was too big. They said that their smaller phone was the right size. Fast forward to 2015 and now other companies are coming out with larger phones. Other smart watches are also making their debut. These new watches cost much more, yet they can't even take pictures or video like my Galaxy Gear can. Samsung is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition.
Although the hardware is overall very good ( especially the screen size), The Galaxy Note 3 still suffers from having a lot of unnecessary software that also takes up a large portion of memory. Buttons are less intuitive for me considering that I originally used a Galaxy S4 and I usually have to tap around before I can hit the back button. A lot of my original applications from the S4 crash very frequently on my Note 3.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, taking pictures are better, easy to add sim cards and replace battery
Cons: Did not meet expectations, frequent software crashes
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Yeah man I just got the world im my hands with diz phone there's nothing I can't do. I stop worrying where I left the tv or cable box remotes. sweet papi...;)
I enjoy everything on my phone. I have tried other brands but nothing I have used ever exceeded my Samsung. I can't wait for my up grade so I can get my note edge.
I've owned a Note 3 since it was released. I love it. This Note 3 is a replacement for my old Note 3 which I cracked the screen. This new phone is awesome. It's faster, doesn't crash and the battery lasts a lot longer. I am elated that the sound on this new phone is clearer than the old.
I am discovering all of the cool things and services that is offered by Google which work flawlessly on this android phone. I don't use the stylus very often but it is amazing what it can do.
I do you use several remote control apps which is a great feature.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, size is perfect
I would recommend this to a friend!
