All Around Great Phone

The Note 3 quite exceeded my expectations.
It connects to WiFi easily, the Bluetooth works great (even better now with Android KitKat) and 4G is fast as always. Reception is on par with most other phones, I've never had any issues.
The camera on the Note 3 is very nice. There is no delay when you hit the capture button, it focuses well, and the pictures are very clear. I used it to take pictures of a sculpture I made for my portfolio and they printed very well.
The huge screen is great, exactly what I wanted. Vibrant, bright, and the auto-brightness works well and saves battery. I like to read on my phone and with the big, bright screen, my eyes don't feel strained. The S Pen is great when you need it, I use it sometimes, but I don't find myself needing to very often. Sometimes I use it just for fun. I want to try the Photoshop-esque drawing app that came with the phone, but I haven't yet.
Performance-wise, the phone does not disappoint. It takes anything I can throw at it and hasn't frozen yet. I've played some emulators on my phone, those are games that take a lot of processing power, and they run effortlessly. Even with all this power and the bright screen, the battery lasts all day. I charge my phone every night, some days it's less than 10% after heavy use, and some days I still have more than 50% battery life. I've never had my phone run out of battery during the day, and I consider myself a very heavy user.
My issues with the phone start with the TouchWiz overlay. I don't like bloatware, and I don't like the overlay. I put up with it for now, but I'd really rather have something that's as close to vanilla Android as possible. I consider the extra stuff wasted space on the phone's memory.
Also, the battery cover is awful. It feels like cheap plastic, and has a tacky leather grain with stitching (not real stitching, it's all molded plastic). It's honestly one of the ugliest backs to any phone ever. The chrome sides are nice looking, and the front areas around the screen have a nice brushed metal-texture. It's really only the backplate that's so ugly, I really think they could have made a better decision there. I have a case on my phone though so I don't really have to look at it, so that helps.
All in all, it's a great phone. High performance all around, it's only the aesthetics that could have been better. In my opinion, those are passable, I just wish it looked as cool as the HTC M8 or other phones released around the same time. Severely lacking in style points. I would definitely recommend this phone to anybody.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, camera, performance
Cons: Poor quality, bloatware
I would recommend this to a friend!

From music to pictures/video to social media to games... This phone offers the best you can get. Size is a bit big, but that is both a great thing and a flaw only because it can be hard to snap selfies... and the voice recognition is sometimes hard to recognize your voice. If I had a choice I'd appreciate an update for voice recognition. Thanks for such a great product. If I had to suggest a current Samsung Galaxy product I'd suggest the Galaxy S5 unless they're into drawing and writing free hand... go for the Note 3.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Too big, voice recognition isn't prefect.
I would recommend this to a friend!

First off I am bias because I'm a Samsung nut and
No one else comes close to their products. Apple
not even close to what Samsung puts out. I own
Everything in my home Samsung for years. This
Phone is by far the best choice for tablet users. Great apps. Great user interface. Touch screen is top par. Screen size is awesome. Weight is excellent. What else can I say. GO OUT AND BUY A SAMSUNG-SM-N900A PHONE. OR ANYTHING SAMSUNG. YOU WILL
NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
