Wow!!! Just Wow!!!

I got this phone a few days ago, shortly after launch. I had an iPhone 4s prior and an iPhone 3GS before that. This is such an incredible device with some amazing features. The size is not for everyone, but I absolutely love the big screen, coming from a 3.5" screen. The phone is very thin and very light. Fits in all my pockets. If you want a good large screen, nothing compares!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Absolutely the Best!

This is truly the best phone I've ever had from the first Galaxy to the Iphone to Optimus G Pro and back home to Samsung. It's very functional, extremely fast and gives me everything I could possibly want from a phone. The screen resolution is beautiful and the battery lasts me all day, even after several rounds of Candy Crush. I was initially concerned with the corners of the phone not having enough curve but that concern quickly went away when I started downloading my favorite apps and getting a feel of setting up my phone. That took little to no effort as the initial setup works great for me. It is the best phone on the market and despite the price, it is truly worth every penny.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight

The perfect tool for a mobile professional

I have used my Note3 for about 2 months now and every couple days I find another feature that helps me during my day. Its a big device! but when I pick up my old s4 or an iphone, they just seem too small. I like that i can view my so much on one screen. I can also easily switch to one handed mode which makes one handed typing a little easier. The camera takes decent pictures. The pen works excellent for note taking...especially during a call. Even the battery life is pretty amazing for a phone with such a large screen. I would definitely recommend this device!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, multi-view

The Best Samsung Phone Ever

I just purchased the Note 3 yesterday and I love it! I had an original Note and swapped that for an iPhone 5; now back to the Note 3 and very happy. The screen is amazing, and it is at least twice as fast as the iPhone 5. The setup was very easy and overall stability with Android 4.3 is much better than previous versions. Sound quality is very good, internet performance is outstanding; the LTE link seems much faster than other phones I've used. It's also quite easy to use one handed even though my hands are not very large. Overall the best smartphone I've ever owned by far!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, fast, iproved s-pen

Note 3 Is A Winner!

I became hooked on the Note series of phones with the original Note. It was a joy to use the large screen and stylus. I then upgraded to the Note 2 when it came out. It proved to be a worthy investment with faster operation & better screen. Now, the Note 3 has arrived. I wasn't too interested in upgraded again, but I'm so glad I did. The screen quality is outstanding. It is so nice that the screen size got bigger, but the overall device size stayed the same. The battery cover has a much better feel than the slippery smooth plastic used on the previous models. I, for one, appreciate Samsung's use of plastic. It helps keep the phones much lighter and resilient to impact. While I can appreciate the beauty of metal phones, I don't want to carry them daily. My phone is a tool for getting things done; not a fashion statement. Call quality is excellent and battery life is the best I've ever had in any mobile. I highly recommend the Note 3.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, speaker on the bottom, sd card support, removable battery
Cons: too much carrier bloatware, no unlocked factory direct verison

Every day I spend with this Note I discover more things it can do and more ways it can work for me. I no longer own a tablet as I don't need one now. Many of the tasks I used to do with other devices have now all been taken over by the Note. There is absolutely no other phone that could tear me away from my Note. It works great all the time,is fast, and allows me to do everything I could want to do. Thanks Samsung!!!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, s pen, many features

What the heck was Samsung thinking by releasing such a big phone?

Well whoever came up with the idea, I hope they're getting paid big bucks. The Galaxy Note 3 is a fantastic smartphone. Every phone I've ever had was a Samsung and I have no plans on switching. The speed of the Note 3 is very impressive. Right from the start it boosted up extremely fast and set up 2 as very easy. Thank god Samsung loves their Micro SD - transferring my music and photos was unbelievably easy. Using the phone is very easy and there are two many features to count! A lot of people say that the features of Galaxies are gimmicky but I actually find most of them usefull. I also appreciate the fact that Samsung used faux leather plastic. While many people would've preferred metal, the faux leather keeps to phone lighter, more durable, and allows for features like micro SD and removing the insanely large battery. And it still looks very attractive. Speaking of, battery life is amazing. On a screen this large, vibrant, and sharp, I would've expected terrible battery life. I don't know how samsung does it, but battery life is the best I ever had on a phone and the phone is still incredibly thin.
Honestly, I do wish the phone was a little bit smaller, but it really doesn't matter all that much. The camera is fantastic on this phone too. It's incredibly sharp, even when zoomed in. The flash is also brighter in photos, but not as bright as the one on my previous phone, the Galaxy S3, when used as a flashlight.
And now, this one little feature changes the way you think about your phone completely - the handy little S Pen. There are so many features that it has, like screen write and pen window which I use most often. I never realized how much I would love this little guy; my friends are so suprised when I take it out. And when they see features like air view and multi window, they nearly pass out. The s pen makes using the phone easier for different tasks, and drawing or handwriting to text is also very accurate and simple.
The only thing I don't like about this phone is that it is a little buggy. Since I got it a little over a month ago, I've noticed a few bugs here and there but they should be fixed with Kitkat when we get it.
Overall, I highly recommend this phone to anyone who wants a fantastic phone or even just a big phone. The screen is sharp and vibrant, the phone is very fast and easy to use, and there are so many features. I know for a fact I missed a couple things in the review because there are just so many things to talk about!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: has a few bugs.
I would recommend this to a friend!
