When most people think of the Note 3, they think of two things: the size and the stylus. What you don't hear enough about are the real features of the device: speed and quality. The size is a bit of a pain to get used to as it's difficult to fit into some pockets, but once you get over that, the screen and resolution are beautiful. The large screen is perfect for watching videos or playing games on. The stylus is a bit more of a novelty than Samsung would like to admit, but it is perfect for anyone that likes/needs to take notes frequently. you can set it up so as soon as you take the pen out, a specific app opens for you to use it with, or you can use the air command to open five apps. The hand writing recognition software is impressive and the Action Note is absolutely awesome.
So the lesser-known features of this phone are the speed and quality. The speed of turning on, loading apps, surfing the internet - it's all there and is amazingly quick. The speed of opening the camera app and taking pictures is perfect. All-in-all, this is a fast device. Also, the quality - the quality of the screen, the quality of the battery and the quality of the system - all of it is outstanding. The camera produces extremely high quality photos and videos to where you really don't need a digital camera any more.
Pros: Bright display, fast, camera quality
Cons: Too big, not enough apps utilize the stylus
I would recommend this to a friend!

Galaxy Note 3 vs iPhone

There's no comparison. I've had every iteration of the iPhone up to the 5. Yes it's a good phone but the Galaxy is an awesome phone. I don't have enough time to explain all the features that make it better but here's a few. The Galaxy has a bigger screen, no memory restrictions, more tech & gadgets built in, the capability of downloading files straight off the Web etc etc. Basically it does everything you wish you iPhone would do. Try the Galaxy for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
I had a samsung then apple made the iphone so i thought i wanted so i got it and HATED I MEAN I HATED IT so i returned it and went back to the samsung the 2 smart was the note 2 LOVED IT and then i was ready for an upgrade and got the note 3 gave the note 2 to my husband and my 1 samsung smart phone to my then 7 year old special needs son and we will NEVER use anything but samsung...user friendly from special need kid to an adult....just wonderful product...i always recommend samsung.
Cons: very hard and expensive to replace the screen

It's has many features and very easy to use. I use to own an IPHONE, but since purchasing my first Samsung Galaxy 4 product I will never purchase any other product. Than Samsung came out with the Galaxy note 3. I love this phone it does anything you need to do on the go, it works just like a hand held computer.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast, very easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

I recently switched from a Galaxy S4 to the Note 3 and I LOVE IT! !!!!!!!!! This phone has amazing resolution and features, the camera take great pictures, also its speed is just as good if not better than the S5 which my father owns!!!!! It has a great sleek look which I love and is very light weight, which is great for me bc I do t like a heavy phone!!!!! I would recommend this phone to anyone! !!! I can't wait to check out the Note 4!! :-)
Color and size just right I don't need glasses to see screen and key board is big enough to use with or without air stylus have told all how much the phone is to ude
Love the size of this phone! I was originally worried that it would be "too big" but it fits in the pocket no problem. The big screen is addictive. Other smartphones seem tiny and cramped; will never go back to one. Performance and battery life are top notch.
