I Loved this phone... it exceeded my expectations exponentially and all in all is an awesome phone. I knew right away that I would have no problems with the size because I have large hands but I can see how some people would be overwhelmed by its massive screen. The features on the phone were a lot of fun and it ran so fast (faster than my netbook) that I found myself using it more than any other electronic in my arsenal. The infrared signal on it ran my television and my satellite receiver. It was wonderful for taking pictures ( the flash is a little bit blinding but hey the price we pay for a good pic) and all in all is a great phone... except it has its flaws... I had this phone for two months and it treated me well for all of the time i used it. I kept it in a nice case. I never dropped it. I kept it clean and safe from spills. It never went to work with me so was never abused at my busy job, but one uneventful night the battery was getting low so i plugged it in and set it on my bedside table. the next morning i awoke to my alarm ( on the phone) and picked up my note three when i went to disable the alarm i noticed that the screen was all sorts of messed up colors and i could only see the top fourth of the screen.. the rest was black... so I i pulled the battery to stop the alarm and the battery was hot. I thought well this is kind of strange so i let it all cool down and when I put the battery back in i unplugged the phone and rebooted it. there was no change in the screen and the touch feature didnt work. I was heartbroken. I took it into verizon and they said that theere was a small crack in the LCD that could only be seen if you tilted it the right way and it was not covered under warrenty... I have no idea how this would have happened and I am devistated. I would recommend this phone to someone but warn them about the fragile state that is the large screen and its inability to be charging for more than 4 hours....
Cons: Did not meet expectations, fragile screen, gets too hot when charging causing much damage
I would recommend this to a friend!

My first Samsung phone. I will never buy another brand again. The only way my Note 3 leaves my house is when the Note 4 comes out. First I need great phone functions, check, then the best mini computer in my hand, check. Nothing more to say. Want the best, get one.
Great workhorse for the work or entertainment obsessed

I am a Samsung Junkie and true to their nature they have created the ideal Smart Phone to add to my collection of High Tech Gadgets. I Love, Love, Love it!!!!!!!!
This is my first smartphone. I did the research and knew this was the one for me, and I was right. Much easier to use than I thought, wish I did it sooner! Husband can't wait to get one now as well. Fantastic camera. This does more than my laptop. .. it seems to just know what you want to do, and does it. Would recommend this product to everyone, husband can't wait to get one. Never disappointed with Samsung.
Pros: Bright display, Durable

it was a major upgrade coming from having a Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere going to a Samsung Galaxy Note 3. It was bigger, lightweight and had a slew of new features along with impeccable battery life. I absolutely love my Samsung Galaxy Note 3!
