The Note 3 is a major improvement. The s-pen functionality is great now that it can tap on the back and menu key below the screen as well. The ruberized tip gives it a good feel across the screen.
Display is stunning. Nothing else to say there.
Camera is good. I seldom use my DSLR anymore. The phone is great where there's enough light. The only gripe I have is the processing time it takes in taking HDR shot. I realize that there needs to be some processing done. The problem is while that processing is in progress we can't take more pictures. In my mind the processing could be done in the background.
Pros: s-pen
Cons: low light photography

This is one of the best phones on the market today. I think it far exceeds the capabilities of the Galaxy S5, but its because I love the Notes to begin with. The Speed is without exception better than any and the Display is overwhelming .
Pros: Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

One of the best phones I have owned

My first phone 20 years ago was much larger than the Note 3 phone. I laugh every time someone tells me, that's a big phone, and I reply I have had much larger and heavier. I absolutely like this phone. It has more features and memory than my first 486 PC and has better screen resolution. All the kidding aside, this phone may look a bit larger than many phones available today, but it's not in the least bit uncomfortable or a pain to carry and use. It's larger screen makes it nice to view texts, pictures, and applications I use everyday. If you are looking for a mobile office, or a gamers phone this phone fits just about any persons needs.
You would like this phone, I "Guarantee it!"
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: location of the volume buttons

Still the best phone available!

I've owned this phone for 9 months and the only thing that could possibly make me give it up is most likely the Note 4, but we'll see. I'm very open-minded, but nothing comes close to the features for the value as in "the bang for the buck" that this phone has to offer. I've owned many smart phones and the combination of this beautiful screen, the 3 gigs of ram (a must have with the ram hungry touch-wiz), the speedy processor, the all-day battery life, the pen input and many other features keeps this phone high on the list along side phones that are much newer! This thing is still a beast!
Pros: long battery life, great screen, easy pen input, fast, multi windows
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

My Free Samsung

I have only had the phone for a few days, but I love it like my other one. This phone is way better than the Note 2. The software is incognito and I have not had any problems with it. The phone battery is great and the transition from app to home screen is faster. The speakers sound better than my old Note 2 and I can hear the artist better, the words are clearer. The screen is phenomenal and displays great. My only problem is I wish I could have gotten a free case. I love my experience with Samsung.
