This is the best cell phone I have ever used. The screen is beautiful to look at. It is big enough, easy to type on, takes great pictures, and is an absolute pleasure to use on a daily basis. I have used iPhone, Windows Phone 8, and Galaxy s3 and this phone is the clear winner out of every other phone I have ever used. More than enough ram and processing power. Battery life lasts all day. Call quality is great. It is not too heavy but also not too light.
I bought this model for my wife for Valentines Day and she absolutely loves it. She came from an iPhone4s which was frustrating her more and more everyday because of the lack of customization. She fell in love with the android system and the features the galaxy's have and she will not put this device down....luckily I am the one who drives the car!!
I love my note 3 I love the fact the screen is bigger and I can see it. It's very sleek and a nice design. I have T-Mobile but I absolutely love mine and so does my boyfriend.
My portable office just got better. Absolutely no complaints about this phone. I personally think that "phablet" is the appropriate word for this phone. I only have one game on my phone because I'm having too much funny with the apps that are already on the phone and the other important apps that I've used in the past with other phones are fun to use again. There is a lot I have to learn about this phone and it might take two years (the average time for a phone carrier contract) to find out all of the features that this phone.... phablet has to offer. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone.
I came to be interested in the Galaxy Note 3 as I felt that I needed more productivity options at work. I had purchased an iPad Mini for the same reason; however, I'm usually on the move in my television studio and sometimes don't have it on my persons. Even when I did taking it out and opening up the correct App and starting to 2 finger type became such a process I gave it up all together. In my business as a producer for sports television specific sequences in games are vital to airing the best content and in a 9 inning baseball game for example getting ideas noted and quickly is essential to our success. Coming from the Galaxy S4, I already knew I loved the Life Companion features of the device but the Note 3 seemed to include of that in addition to an array of usable software and hardware for professionals and hobbyist alike so I bought it. Two weeks in I don't know how I've gone so long without it. It is large. This is true and there is no getting around it but Samsung has included a One Hand Operation mode which greatly helps the process at times when its needed. Most of the time the phone is more of a pleasure to use with two hands. I use the S Pen all day everyday. From note taking and diagram creating to simply drawing pictures with my daughters at a restaurant while we wait on our food. If you are a man with medium to large hands or a women who carries a purse, you shouldn't have a problem. This phone is borderline amazing but you have to take the time to discover new features and really play with and enjoy your phone. Happy Note Taking and remember...Design Your Life. (Not paid by Samsung - Just love the product)
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, pressure sensitive touch screen, custom spen software, great battery life, accurate handwriting to text
Cons: average audio (speakers no bass)
I would recommend this to a friend!

The greatest feature to me is the removable battery. I have the screen turned down to the lowest setting, WiFi and Bluetooth turned off when I'm not using them, a 4700mAh battery, occasional plugins to power up and I still run out of power in the afternoon. With the removable battery I can swap in a fully charged battery in less than a minute and I'm ready to go until late at night. Yes I know - there are external battery boosters - but they are a waste. If I wanted to go around with my phone plugged into a slow charging power source I could just stay home.
By the way the Note 7 problem might be fixed with a removable battery option. Send me a couple and I'll try it out for you.
I have my note 3 for 6 years and not once did it let me down. I always seem to find something new to do with the phone from using the internet to using the s pen this phone has been the best purchase of my life.. I am moving on to the S8 Plus now and I hope it will be the same
