I just got this phone and I ABSOLUTELY love it! I had the original note and it was not the business because they wouldn't update it anymore and I just upgraded and it is so much of a difference. I love the physical home button. Also the notification light to let me know if I have messages. The original note was great when I got it but this is wonderful. I recommend this phone to everybody. People make fun because it's big but it is definitely better than their phone. The only thing I can complain about is the speakers but other than that nothing else. Oh i also love the new S-Pen features and how the pen write more smoothly on the screen.
Long time iOS user and I switched because of this phone. So glad I did!

I have been an extremely loyal iOS user for years. I have owned every generation of the iPhone since it's inception in 2007. In November I switched to the Note 3 after weeks of research. VERY glad I did! The Note 3 is by far the most amazing phone I have ever used. The 4K video camera, 1080p AMOLED, and S-Pen Functionality are amazing! Multi-tasking, and customizable options are incredible. So much to love about this phone! Removable battery, the ability to add MicroSD cards to add more storage makes this even more amazing to use! Sketchbook Pro is awesome on this phone as well. I have been extremely happy with the switch to the Note 3!
As with any new mobile android/smart device, it took me a couple weeks to really learn all functions, but after initial self tutoring and installation of chosen apps, this mobile device is really great. I tell people all the time. I feel no need to update to a newer model, as I find absolutely no reason to do so. Samsung tech/support people are outstanding! The few interactions I have had with them, the reps are very nice, patient and will work with you until any issue is resolved and they want you to be happy. I couldn't say enough good things about the reps, one of the top three best supports I've ever encountered, and that's the truth!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, does at least 90% of what a standard p.c. can!
Cons: a good protective case is suggested.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I switched from the iphone 5 to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - I will NOT be going back to the iphone. I love the larger screen, the swipe typing is much better than point n click! The screen is larger and the apps are just as plentiful as itunes. The other thing Iove about it is that it makes my work productivity much better - we use Gmail as our company's email system and it is a match made in gigabyte heaven!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

I consider this to be a great phone if it had installed a more stable operating system. It has great features but in my opinion the operating systems shadows all the great features and capacity of the phone.
Pros: Bright display
Cons: Too big
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Samsung Galaxy note 3 is a superior product!

The Samsung Galaxy note 3 is by far the best phone I have ever owned. It is a multi tasking beast. I have had as many a 18 apps open and running @ the same time and G Note 3 was begging for more! It never missed a beat. If you own one or ever have the opportunity to get it, be sure to use the S PEN as there are many apps that support it and makes tasks a lot easier. From the gorgeous display to the speed of the phone, even the short amount of time it takes to charge (usb 3.0) yo the long lasting battery, I feel you'll like it!
