I have owned many, many Samsung cellphones. I currently use the S7 Edge. I had the Note 7 but we all know what happened with those, and I have been waiting quite impatiently for the new Note 8. But of all the phones I have owned my favorite was the Note 3. With the S Pen. Adaptable storage, removable battery, great access with "My Files" which I think was introduced in that model. Just a great little computer, phone, date keeper, note keeper, camera, social media connection.... the phone had it all. Many more features that are now pretty much standard on all Samsung phones. The screen size was perfect, and dominant for its time. We have moved on several generations, have gone to this slimmer, longer screen, beveled edge, etc. I am not sure I like the new screens better than the large, square, flat surface of the Note 3. And I am sure I will love my Note 8 when it comes out in a few weeks. But until the Note 8 gets here my favorite will always be the Note 3. Actually, when I exchanged my Note 7 for the S7, the wife got the Note 3 and uses it to this day and she is totally in love with it. It was quite a step up for her from the little S3. There may never be another cellphone as perfect as the Note 3.
This phone is great for anyone looking for the next cool device, that actually makes your life easier! The new S Pen features are super sweet with scrapbooker as my fav! Plus I'm very pleased that it has all the air gestures as the S4. Maybe the price could be a little better and that has nothing to do with the product. One last thing the RAM is a lot but as soon as I turned my device on before I even put anything on it the RAM was over half used! So maybe u need to shoot for 4 or 5 GB of RAM! Over all I'm a Samsung girl always no matter what!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, pretty, s pen features, air gesture, 13mp camera
Cons: maybe could be a little cheaper
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Job Samsung... wish Knox wasnt included... or, release a Knox free version. Make alot of the bloatware uninstallable, by putting in the data/app folder.
Honestly, this is probably one of the greatest phones that samsung has made. Although sometimes there are a few glitches, its an amazing phone. Right now, there would be a phone i would recommend more than the galaxy note 3. Its the galaxy s 5. For my next phone I'm probably going to get an s 5. But i would wait a little bit longer until they put the new features of s5 into the possibly new note 4.
