when I receive the phone I was amazed at how well the phone voice recognition software the motion gesture worked flawlessly but it time there were slight delays.I enjoyed me multi-screen function doing work a lot easier.all the Samsung Apps such as the translator all worked and it proved to be useful while traveling. This product is one that I recommend and I look forward to see what Samsung will come up with next. I do wish that the speakers where louder. in find a way to increase battery life
Great Features, Improved Interface and Same Footprint

While the Galaxy Note 3 would be the only phone that I would use personally out of the line up of smartphones because of it's screen size and easy to transport design it has drawbacks just like every device. On first impression of the phone I immediately noticed and appreciated the stylus being updated so that it slides in without looking unlike the Note 2 which had a curved body and the stylus was form fitting to the body forcing you to insert your stylus with the orientation matching the body. Another great update from the Note 2 is that the Note 3 has the speaker mounted on the bottom rather than the back increasing the users ability to clearly hear the caller while the phone is sitting on it's back and be able to multitask with applications while in call such as calculating numbers or reading from a document, email or text message to the person you are speaking to. This has allowed me to take items from a tab of paper and read them off to suppliers while doing real time calculations to quote customers before I leave a jobsite. There are very few drawbacks and I would consider myself to expect everything to be flawless with every device. I have found that the phone has ultimate capability in exceeding my expectations except for the ability to be used as a replacement to an MP3 player while performing every other task that could ever be asked. I typically use a digital media player for at least 8 hours a day and while I have been able to replace my camera, while I am not happy about the resolution options doing away with the VGA quality of 640x480 which uses much less space in emails and can be used to send images to low resolution phones for instant verification of jobs the camera works better than most digital cameras I have seen. I have replaced my computer for more than 90% of the tasks that I would normally do saving energy. I have also replaced my GPS with my device. I have integrated several devices into one easy to carry portable device and have not found a more capable device. I have always told my friends and family about the endless capabilities that the entire Samsung Galaxy Line can offer to integrate and free up space in your office, home or school bag. I recommend the purchase of Samsung to anyone considering another brand.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: poor mp3 playback during extended use, camera resolution is limited to a 24 mp low
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung has truly outdone themselves. I have gone through phones more than people change underwear. In 6 months I would easily go through 6-8 phones because of the problems I would have. Reps and techs themselves would joke that I have a curse against electronics and I actually agreed with them!
Til the note 3 came along.
The software, The battery, The screen, The durability, The camera, I literally could keep going on and on. I can't think of one issue or complaint that I would have!
Well, one.
WHY DIDNT YOU RELEASE THIS PHONE SOONER!
Seriously, best investment I ever made. You will not regret choosing this phone.
I had been wanting this phone in a while and finally got it! Best decision ever! I love my phone its like a mini tablet u can do most things on it and it has an awesome camera. Takes wonderful pictures and videos of those wonderful moments you don't want to miss. Only down side is the size which doesn't bother me too much since I usually carry it in my purse, but for people who carry them in your pocket it may stick out.
I have and will continue to recommend this phone to anyone who has to be on their phone day in and day out! No need for a tablet or even a laptop most days as I can do just about anything that needs to be done right on this phone! It's a serious blessing to someone with a job like mine. Now if only I could get the battery to last hour upon hour for my schedule!
