This is one of the best phones on the market today. I think it far exceeds the capabilities of the Galaxy S5, but its because I love the Notes to begin with. The Speed is without exception better than any and the Display is overwhelming .
The Note 3 is a major improvement. The s-pen functionality is great now that it can tap on the back and menu key below the screen as well. The ruberized tip gives it a good feel across the screen.
Display is stunning. Nothing else to say there.
Camera is good. I seldom use my DSLR anymore. The phone is great where there's enough light. The only gripe I have is the processing time it takes in taking HDR shot. I realize that there needs to be some processing done. The problem is while that processing is in progress we can't take more pictures. In my mind the processing could be done in the background.
I enjoy all Samsung products from myTV to my Bluray and my GS4. Yet the Note3 has bridged them together better than before. I can link easily and share between all of my devices. The speed upon which the phone allows me to multitask is crazy. The S pen is brilliant I cannot go back to a phone without it. LOVE NOTE3
As an avid smart phone user I am always searching for new features on phones, such as, fingerprint scanners, heart rate monitors, amazing cameras, and of course the S - Pen... It is something that stands out amongst the rest. It has its own quality of excellence that none other can match. It opened up a whole new world for me.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, lightning fast processing, unique and advanced stylist, like owning a piece of art., sleek, powerful, sophisticated
It's time to stop calling phones PHONES, because that's probably less than 10% of how we use them these days

I held onto my upgrade for months and bought this on launch day.
The first concern people typically have is in relation to it's size ("Isn't it a little big for a phone?"). Well, I bought into the size because I realized that when it comes to my personal use of smartphones, I spend A LOT more time looking at the screen (text, social networks, researching, reading, viewing, etc.) than actually holding it to my ear. So, larger screen size is beneficial in the way I use it, and when you think about it, I am not alone in this. I'd bet most of us spend over 90% of our phone use looking rather than holding it to our ear. We really should stop calling them phones at this point.
Since hardware has been covered a lot I'll just skim over this: 2.3ghz Quad Core Snapdragon 800, Adreno 330, best on the market. 3200 MHz capacity battery, the largest capacity out right now, with the capability of Power Saver Mode that gives it amazing battery life. 3gb RAM which is also the biggest available. And then there is the S-Pen. I honestly use this a lot more than I thought I would. My co-workers always make a comment every time I send them an image that I didn't draw on because they always expect it. It's awesome, I can't go back to a phone that doesn't support S-Pen. The S-Pen is what made me follow up and but the Note 8 tablet.
