This is a quick first review based on a week with it. I love the display, it has every feature one could dream of, its extremely fast, good reception, and works with my existing plan. so far iam on my second one waiting for a third to arrive tomorrow. the problem has been the charging port on both phones straight out of the box. The first phone would not charge without holding the pug in a downward fashion. Tried a friends charger and cord off of his note 3 and same issue. The place where I bought it not Verizon exchanged for another one and we tested it in the store to make sure it worked although this was a open box and it did the same thing but not nearly as bad . the saleman actually owed a note 3 and I asked him to plug his in and guess what it charged no problem anyway you held it and not once quit charging. He said hes sold a bunch of ote 3s and never seen this problem. maybe I just got 2 bad ones . I do resalise this happens on things mas produced. Im praying that no 3 is flawless because ive wanted one first time I saw one. I had to pay full price in order to keep my current data plan but if it works correctly then ill be extremely happy. After tomorrow I will write a full review hopefully a very good one.
Finally decided to try a larger size phone and now that I've tried it, I will never go back to smaller size phone. Features and design of this phone is great. The camera itself is more than expected.
like i said before i got a virus on my phone for downloading a word document file off of google to help me in my homework. it said i had some type of malware. i contacted samsung and they said i could install antivirus on my phone which i did and now i have 3 runing always in the background eating away at my battery (norton mobile security, avast, and lookout) with the passcode lock option, everytime my phone is in sleep (off but not off if you know what i mean) when i press the lock button on homebutton and the keyboard is poping up i can briefly see my homescreen image. please get this fixed in the next update it would be apperciated

I don't understand peoples reviews this phone has serious voice call issues with garbled, distorted, chirps and morphed phone calls on verizon and sprint still the phones keeps being sold everywhere and there is no official response from samsung or verizon. Phone is useless until voice call problems are fixed.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, awful call quality, no official response to bad voice quallity
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
