I got this phone at a reasonable discount and It is worth it. I do not play games but the phone serves my You Tube and Browsing needs tremendously. It is a well rounded phone that I would not hesitate to recommend to someone. Even in this age of newer and more technically advanced phones, it can still compete and hold its own. That is my opinion of course.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Lightweight, Built-in speakers, good battery life.
I normally get rid of my phones every year. I've literally had no need to get rid of this one, even though it's been 2 years. Performance has been very good on this Note 3. The ONLY reason I've considered replacing it one day is to see if the Note 4 or Note 5 is even better. The touchscreen has never had a problem even though I don't use screen protectors. Once in a while it slows down, but once I clean out old files, it goes right back up.
All I can say is this Samsung Note 3 is so good I'm having a hard time upgrading to anything else. The phone is solid, I have dropped it numerous times (without a case) and it just keeps working. It never locks up on me, just a solid phone.
I Love my galaxy! I love my other electronics as well. Their customer service is above par when dealing with product issues, or just asking technical questions. I would recommend Samsung to EVERYONE! I only upgrade when they break. Is it bad that I want this one to break so I can upgrade. It just keeps ticking though. And its been though the ringer! I'm still on the three though 2 years strong.
