It was working fine for 3 weeks until the error stated to use my original charger to charge faster. I was using only the original charger. Eventually the phone stopped charging at all. I got the battery and a new charger replaced. The phone again worked for a few weeks and same problem. The error message was that I needed to use the original charger to charge faster. It would still charge but over time slowly and then not at all.
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

low signal keeps you from using

I know a lot of people who have this phone including me. I have gone through 2 phones and still low or no signal strength. Other phone have full bars the note between 0 and 2. very dissatisfied with the phone features. I can stand next to someone with any other phone on the same network and when they send a text. nothing, they call and it goes straight to voice mail and I don't get a notice for hours.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, signal issues
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Charger issues

My girlfriend was super excited about the whole "Rose Gold" thing, so naturally this is the phone i got for her. Right away out of the box we noticed charger issues. Its almost like the charger isn't making full contact. We've tried to charge the phone 3 times in the last 24 hrs. Only once have we been able to get it to charge. Everything else is amazing, and once the charger issue is resolved I'll be happy to change this review to a "5 Star".
If this isn't the best phone in the market right now, I don't know what is. This phone is superb. The screen is flawless. The battery life will get you through a day with moderate usage with 50% remaining after 16 hours of use (3,200 mwh). The CPU will handle most of your commands without a hiccup. This has 3GB of RAM. 32GB on standard model (about 25GB usable after installing all your apps) will be enough for most of your files. The S pen is a great tool for most (if not all) professionals.
On the other hand, Samsung still has room to improve it's products. The DAC (digitial to analog chip) could be better, so don't expect your music to sound audiophile quality. The phone still feels like a toy because of the plastics used, same thing with the S pen.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the best phone in the market right now. It has everything you need to replace at least your other phone or your small tablet. However, you should get a decent case and perhaps a replacement S-pen just in case you drop your phone or lose your S-pen.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, battery life, camera quality, cpu speed, hd display
Cons: Too big, plastic
I would recommend this to a friend!

Quite large, but functionality made me switch.

I've had nothing but iPhones almost since they came out and the first time I picked up the Note 3 it just felt giant. Then I surfed the web a bit, learned tricks and tips and eventually felt the functionality beat the inconvenience of the size.
After a month, it has replaced our iPad as well. So I think of it more as a very portable device that I can make phone calls on than a phone.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, functional
