Worth it for the improved s-pen integration and multitasking alone...

I just upgraded from the S3, and I am just pleased with this phone. I don't think it is for everyone though. Before you go with the Note 3 over the S4, ask yourself two questions:
1. Am I good with having a big phone?
2. Am I willing to invest a little time in the first few days to learn drive this machine. (or if not, am I going to be happy with the easy mode)
1. Am I good with having a big phone?
2. Am I willing to invest a little time in the first few days to learn drive this machine. (or if not, am I going to be happy with the easy mode)
I fit both these criteria because I have big hands, and I love to tinker. I've spent time on tips and tricks videos and articles and the more I see, the happier I am. In just two days, I've become a pen wizard, and to the uninitiated eye, it looks like I'm doing magic tricks. I am able to, for instance, take a picture of a student experiment in lab, mark it up with arrows and comments, and then immediately post it to my class. When something like that takes me under 2 minutes, there are many ooohs and aaahhs.
As a note 10.1 user, I'm no stranger to the S pen. The note 3 has kicked the s pen functionality up a notch.
With one exception. The changes to the f(x) functionality in s note are not good. I think the option to circle formulas and shapes to transform them is a good added feature, but it is in no way a worthy replacement for being able to see a flowchart take shape step by step so you can back up if something doesn't turn out the way you hoped. I don't understand why we can't have both.

I don't understand why we can't have both.
The camera is incredible. It takes beautiful photos, and is easy to use.
Don't neglect to investigate action memo. I know that some phone features are a bit gimmicky, like smart scroll, but not this one. You can access action memo with your pen through the pen menu, and through an even quicker shortcut. Once open, it gives you a window you can scrawl in. You can then send what you wrote to several apps. For instance you can jot down a name and number, then send that into your contacts, or just directly dial the number. You can Jot down a calendar entry and send it to the calendar. The handwriting recognition is nearly flawless out of the box.
There is also an integrated feature that allows you to use writing in any text entry box.
And don't forget to investigate the multi-window features, including the one available via s-pen. We are getting closer and closer to desktop-like multitasking.
And check out some of the free math apps for s-pen. I could ace a trig test with my s-pen and it's been 20 years since I took the class.
Hardware-wise, this phone is a beast. Just look at the specs. You won't be disappointed with the speed and the display. The only corner cut was the speaker. It isn't bad, but it isn't top of the line like pretty much everything else in the phone, so it stands out.
Bottom line. In just two days, I've come to rely on many of the unique features in this phone. If I had to go back to my s3, or even an earlier note, I'd sorely miss them. There isn't a phone in the world I'd rather have...not yet anyway. I'm looking forward to the note 4.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, improved s-pen integration, great camera, improved multi-window features
Cons: mono speaker, f(x) functionality reduced from earlier models
I would recommend this to a friend!

Packs a powerful punch!

You may not think that Samsung could deliver on top of perfection from the Note II, but they have done it yet again!
I recently activated my Note III and I couldn't be happier with the product. It packs all of the features of the S4 and includes many more that a geek would LOVE! The S Pen has been updated to fit your lifestyle, the camera is significantly improved over the Note II, and the battery life is no joke! I have successfully gotten at least 12 hours out of my battery life while using multiple account syncs, photos, Facebook, Twitter, BBM, GPS tracking, Step Counter, etc.
If you're on the fence about getting this phone, go get it! You will NOT be disappointed!
PS - The included SketchBook for Galaxy app is amazing!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, gorgeous, s pen, battery life

GN3 is simply amazing to use!

I'm a tech guy. Love all things new. Gadgets, gizmos and anything neat. Ever since the GN2 came out and my wife got it I've been waiting for the next big thing to come out. Well it's here and it doesn't disappoint. I have big hands, so much so I can't squeeze them through the wristband of the gear (so bummed :() I finally have a phone that I can actually text rapidly and accurately on without always hitting the c or v letter. And I can tweet while watching a video effortlessly. No lag, stutter or hiccups. That is impressive.
With 4 cores, and 3 gb of ram this phone, phablet or whatever you want classify it as, is fast, comfortable and perfect for the business sector OR the handyman/tradesman sector. It is really an all around package that can appeal to many different users. And that is nice to see. The S Pen feels comfortable to use AND is so much more an integral part of the phone then in the GN2.
This is my first day with it. I'll be adding video reviews of it shortly. It's a serious two thumbs up ,must buy, award of excellence or what have you rated piece of equipment. Nicely done Samsung, nicely done!

They Don't Make Note like a Note anymore

Expertise:Expert
I love this phone. I think the Note 3 was the Best Note Upgrade. all the other Notes were 2 busy trying to be like other phones instead of just being the Note. I have the Note 8 now but wish they at least get rid of the edge design on the note it's just not needed. on the S8 and S8+ is fine but take it off the Note in the future please.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Built-in speakers, pen
Cons: can't get a good replacement batt

BEST PHONE ON THE MARKET

I freaking love this phone! I have had every Galaxy S model phone Samsung has put out (Except the S4) and I am still impressed every time. The only issue I seem to be having is a rouge app that keeps draining my battery and is impossible to find but that's not the fault of Samsung...or at least I don't think it is.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
