Blazing fast, incredible specs, incredible performance and a true beauty. This is my first "Note" product, I have been using Samsung exclusively since the Galaxy S3, had the Galaxy S4, but just had to have this device. The size is great but not overdone in my opinion, plus with one hand operation mode you get the best of both worlds!
Wow! This phone sets the bar for the rest... Long battery life, superb camera, and the display is second to none. Thought it would be a little too big, but it's perfect. Keep it up SAMSUMG!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, long battery, big high def
Cons: no accessories, low speaker volume

An Amazing Piece of Technology

This phone is stunning. There are so many features that I am not sure if I will ever use all of them. I have already bought some accessories. There is nothing to say other than the fact this one blows all the other phones out of the water. The display is bright, construction is outstanding, phone is fast at everything and never hesitates. Extremely configurable.
Cons: few accessories included., 64 gb version not available., not many accessories yet available., spare oem batteries still not available.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought mine for myself for christmas, by far the best investment Ive made all year. The phone doesn't bog down after hard usage and keeps up with my daily life, I sell phones for a living and I do tons of emails daily and it gets me through the whole day with no problems. I have a 2014 Tablet as well and a 40" samsung smart tv and they all work together so well. Samsung customer for life.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, love the s pen
Cons: none.
I would recommend this to a friend!

More than a phone a real business tool

My brother has an iPhone 5S and he's just as amazed as I am at how well I can enter data and use apps using the SPEN stylus. The iPhone can turn apps on and off but it's very limited for data entry unlike the Note 3 I have. Even though I'm left handed I'm so pleased how the handwriting recognition works and improved as I used it. I've used many phones over the years working as a road warrior sales person and I honestly see this product as light years ahead of the competition. If you want a real tool....Learn how to use what some are foolishly calling Samsung "bloatware". Have someone show you how you can jot a quick note or fully use the "Air Command" function of the stylus and you will understand how the others are toys compared to this well thought out device. I watch videos and slide shows and can simply pause, click the button on the stylus and do a screen grab in whole or part then annotate, place either in a journal, folder or scrapbook while adding tags, additional notes etc. I've used it to take intensive notes in meetings including adding voice memo recordings, projected screen capture using the camera to seamlessly combine into the best work notes I've ever made. Not only that but using a CRM I can do everything else on a screen large enough to have clients view a quick attention grabbing video or have them sing there name on a virtual document. Want a toy go by something else....want an investment that pays dividends every time you use it....then you need to buy this instead. I hope Samsung continues providing a phone with this form factor and features to meet my business needs. MJH
I avoided the earlier Note models because they were simply too large for me to handle comfortably, but I minute I held this one I knew I could finally get the tablet-like features I was looking for in a phone. I love this phone, especially the stylus compatibility and the larger size display, not to mention the fantastic camera.
If I have one complaint about this phone it is that the documentation is miserable. The Device Help applet is of limited usefulness. Fortunately, the phone's interface is largely intuitive, but if you need to know how to make the multi-window feature work, get help from your carrier. I still haven't figured out how to get the back off the phone because I don't see an "indent in the cover"!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, hi def screen resolution, great camera
