I've had this phone since launch day. I love the Note series of phones. This was definitely a worthy upgrade from the Note 2 which is still a great phone. The Note 3 form factor fits nicely in my hand. Being female my hands are a little smaller but I do not have any problems with the size. The screen is beautiful. I love watching videos on it while I'm working. Thankfully I have a job that doesn't hinder multi-tasking. The software features which make it part of the Note series are very helpful. I don't use the S-Pen ever...but I do use the note taking apps. It has become an invaluable tool for work, and my personal use. I never experience lag or stutters on this phone. It simply works like it should. I'm not overly satisfied with the camera. It takes great pictures but every now and then one will come out fuzzy. It could be user error but I'm not sure. You definitely need the flash because low-light pictures stink. All in all I love this phone.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color

I have had Samsung phones ever sine the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. Once I got the first Note I fell in love with it. Love how big the screen was and everything about it and then the Note 2 came out and I wanted it so bad since they increase the screen size. I had that for awhile and then switched to the S4 cause I wanted all the features that came with it. After awhile and a good 6 months after the Note 3 came out, I went out and got it. I missed the screen size and the resolution of the screen is just incredible!!! The S-Pen can do even more then it could do with the Note 2. I love how thin the phone got, pretty impressive how they can get a phone so thin and so big and the battery can handle it completely. Now if your running like 7 apps at a time and have like 5 tabs on the internet and playing music then your battery isn't gunna last ever long, but for me my using the phone a good bit and at the end of the day I have about 65% left. This phone is the best smartphone out there in my opinion. I hope people who don't like big screens can just have it for one day and I'm sure it will change there minds!
I have had all three notes.. And each one keeps getting better and better. I really love the battery life on this one. With heavy usage I can get a day on my battery. It is quick and responds well. And I really love the SPen. Having health issues that sometimes cause my hands to become stiff and not work well- this pen really , really makes a difference for me. I can just grasp it and roll. I really love the way this one is designed.. it is much better than the first:) Not planning on going anywhere soon--- I love my Note
good phone .specially for business .i can run test do repiars too systems on phone with a good view.multitask.integration of other apps size speed only problem moving apps over to SD-CARD wich is basically googles fault :(.les get better speaker system when watching movies ,vids etc. NOW IF WE CAN GET A PHONE.. THAT RUNS LIKE A LAPTOP, WHERE YOU CAN KEEP PHONE ADD MEMORY TO BOAST ITS CAPACITY .lets say you running 3 gigs and cant boast it to 6 gigs wich in turn can boast SD-cards capacity over 128 gig card wich i run now etc..
This phone would be a great phone but i think I got the first batch off the line and that's why my phone has a few issues, I cant wait til the N4 come out because Ill be in the same boat getting the 1st one off the line....
